Names are hard!

We're back at square one! We finally decided on a name this morning. Then I had lunch with some girls from church, and one of them is the girl that makes all my personalized stuff. She has a pretty big business in the area and told me that she knows of one new baby and one on the way with the name we had picked. Ugh! Now we're starting over.

Re: Names are hard!

  • Aw, dont let that discourage you!  If you dont know them, dont sweat it.  I cant wait to hear your name picks, its so exciting.  I randomly lurk on the baby names board...its so addicting.  LOL.
  • Well the problem is that we want really unique names, and people in this area are HORRIBLE about getting on name kicks where everyone and their dog uses the same name. It's awful. There are at least four little girls under the age of 6 with the first or middle name Grace, just at my church.

  • yeah people around her get on the bandwagon of names also. i know of 5 Emma's. I am like you I dont want to name my kid something that other people in his/her class have. My name was unique there was only one other Carmen in my school when I was going.
    Who let the dawgs out? image
  • Definitely dont share the name at all then!  Hope you guys can find something you both love :)
  • I definitely understand the desire to be unique. 

    So...what name had you picked?  Smile

  • that is our problem Emily! Growing up a Melissa, there were always tons of people with the same name. We are having such a hard time. We find out two weeks from today and we are still on the fence about a couple of names.

  • Hmmm...I saw what you said on FB about liking last names as first names.  What about Fletcher?  Or Evan?  Or Campbell (or is that too girly?)?  Or you could stick with presidents and use Kennedy or Clinton or Reagan.  Smile  Braddock?  Drake?  Marshall?  Jackson?  Stollar?  Cooper?  Mitchell?  Clarke?  Parker?  Allen?  Edgar?  Bennett?  Slater? 

    (Yes...I am beginning to go through my FB friends' list to give suggestions...I'm trying that hard to procrastinate from work.)

     Haha! Thanks for the suggestions!

    At this point, I'm so sick of it I'm thinking of just sticking with Gatlin and giving up. We can't find anything. We like Stanton, but can't find a great middle name for it. I like Campbell, and that's DH's best friend's last name. Hmmm....
