Names.
What ones are on your list? Even if you plan to never have kids or if you plan to have them in 7 years.
Re: Names.
I don't plan on having any but I sure do love picking out names!!
Girl: Dylan, Reagan, Morgan, Eden
Boy: Jacob
Boys: Noah(My leader but says he doesn't really like it. Not ready to give up on it yet), Nathan or Nathaniel (Guess I like N names)
Girls: Brooke, Molly, Reese
Boy: Nathan
Girl: Abigail. Although one of DH's cousins is going to use it - so now we have to find a new one. DH has liked this name for a very long time.
Disclaimer: I plan on living a child-free lifestyle.
Boys: Matthew James and Thomas Joseph
Girls: Reagan Elizabeth and Madison Grace
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
Boy: Finnegan William
Girl: Something Louise
Boy: Anthony Isaiah
Girl: Lisette Analise
Use to be on the knot...now I just stalk...just I can't resist baby names
Boy: Conner James, but I change it a lot...last time it was Blaise Porter
Girl: Keegan Michelle is the winner at the moment, but a very close second is Daisy Marie
BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625
Boys: (and yes, I know they are similar and some may flame me for it, but I really like them and I think they are different enough esp. the nicknames)
Attison Neely and Harrison James
Girls:
Edyn Autumn and Ginevra Lee
(nicknames would be: Atti/Tison, Harry, Edy or Ginny)
For a girl I really like C/Katherine, but I struggle with a middle name, and I like it with a 'C' as a full name, but a 'K' for nicknames so I'm torn. I think I'm pickier with girl's names.
For a boy I always wanted Brian Christopher, but that won't work for us because there's a famous person with that first / our last combo, plus Christopher is younger BIL's first name AND older BIL's middle name. Now I'm thinking Ryan Andrew or Andrew Ryan...or either of those as a first name with some other middle name.
I try not to think about it TOO much since it's so far off, but I do have specific 'rules' to follow - I like names that can be made into nicknames (there are a lot for Catherine) but not that are already nicknames (i.e. naming your kid 'Katie'). Nothing that starts with an 'M' because I don't like the alliteration (last name starts with M). No sharing names with current family members. And of course there are a ton of names I don't like because of people I associate with those names!
Ugh, H and I can't agree on anything! I realize this is maybe just names WE like, but now that this is becoming real, it's hard to not just move on from a name when we disagree on it.
My old favorites are Graham Davis or Davis Blair (H's middle name and a family surname). He hates both!
For a girl, I like C/Katherine, nickname Kate.
How are your boy names similar? I really like Harrison James :-) and Edyn Autumn
Boys: Gabriel James, Evan James, Nicholas James, Kyle Joseph
Girls: Olivia Ann, Olivia Marie, Samantha Marie
Those are my choices but have no idea what James' choices would be, hah.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Boys: William Boyd or Cole Kingsbury
Girls: Avamae Beasa or Fiona Grace
Jessie--LOVE finnegan! LOVE!
for boys, we decided on a name long ago and stopped really looking...but then yesterday i played around on the social security site and discovered that the name we chose for a boy is actually a GIRLS name! im scared to tell gerren, he LOVES the name...boy-sage michael.
if gerren and i decide sage michael is too much of a girls name, then names i like (gerren doesnt) are ethan, elliot, and elijah. and now finnegan thanks to jessie
girl-violet, rose, ruth, molly, emma, emily, lillian, layla, and gabriella
ETA: marissa, thank you for reminding me--daisy is also on my list for a girl!

LOVE olivia, but i feel like it is too close to "olive" which is my goddaughters name...? but now i want to add olivia back to my list!
Blog
We've both agreed on first names for boy and girl but not middle names.
Boy: Jason
I have forever wanted Jason Luke but Jeremy hates it and wants to use his middle name "Alan". I just don't like the two "n"s for first and middle name. I like Andrew with it but he's not a fan.
Girl: Kara
We're torn on middle names. We both love Elizabeth and Ann. I'm skeptical about Elizabeth because of our already 11 letter last name. I love Ann because it's my middle name too but it's also his mother's (and grandmother's) and I don't want his mother thinking the girl was named after her (I'm a ***, I know).
Not that you should care about my opinion, but FWIW I don't think they're too similar. They both end in 'son' but they don't really rhyme, IMO, and I think they go together nicely. I just don't like Cayden and Brayden or Addison and Madison.
Not sure if we'll have them, but I have names.
Nora MyMaidenName
MFD is a junior so a boy would be another Michael Francis.
Greg is not a junior but him and his dad are both Greg. Greg now wants a Junior, I do not want a JR I will probably compromise with Gregory differentmiddle, because I really want James as a middle after my grandpa.
LOVE that name!
i feel the same way as you. i hate juniors. fortunately, mr. g and i have no jr.s in our family. gerren wants to use his fathers middle name for a son's middle name, as his middle name is his fathers first name. i could give two shlts.

Ohhhh I love thinking of baby names!
DH and I have decided to stick with C & K names, since we both start with C & K.
For our boy name... we have had this picked out for years! Long before we even got engaged... boy is Keaton William (William after his dad)
For girls we like Charlotte Jean or Cassidy Jean (Jean is mine and my mom's middle name and was my grandma's first name)
you reminded me that toby is on my boy name list
Blog
I also agree. I use to get so confused intill I learn Gregory was mine and Greg was hers. Imagine if there was a 3rd one..
Girl: Abigail Elyse
Boy: Austin John
SIL told me that my brother wanted Austin if they have a boy, and SIL told him absolutely not because DH and I already called it. LOL
