Baby Name Poll
So H and I are those people who have names picked out way before we even want kids.....but H and I were having a "discussion" about names this weekend and I just wanted to take a poll here.
Both of our names start with M....and H decided long ago that if he has a boy, he wants him to be a junior because H is the last living male with his name...so our boy would also have a M name. I also always loved the name Mia, which would make it another M name, so we figured if we had more than two (assuming we have boy and girl) we would have to continue with M names...because the third would be left out, etc etc.
Anyway, I really love the name Mia, but technically I want the name Amelia and just have her go by Mia. H hates the name Amelia and says it's not an M name....which it's not, but if she was always called Mia? .....
So here's a poll. Tell me your opinion.
Also, feel free to discuss your fave baby names below.

Re: Baby Name Poll
well I love both names...so I wouldn't really mind.
But, I can see your point.
TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
yah....the board felt dead...so I felt like posting a random post....but it doesn't seem to be getting much action. and if you just mean that H and I are weird, I agree.
And.......I also LOVE Amelia.....just something about it. I think because its not so popular...
I don't really like the name Amelia, but that's just me. I prefer more French versions like Amelie
But if you PLAN on calling her Mia, just name her Mia. (However, be aware that can be pronounced both Mee-ya and My-yah, and she will spend her life correcting 50% of people who will guess the wrong one.)
Turns out both H and I LOVE a lot of A names, but with our married last name starting with an A, I refuse to make our poor child alliterative or AA. SoI have to wave bye-bye to Amelie, Anya, Anastasia, and Ana. (I really like the short soft a sound!) I like Aiden and Avery, but those are too common now days.
Anyone who pronounces Mia My-yaa is an idiot, IMHO.
we can call you "ra".

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
agreed
try having my name, the only nick names that I've gotten all surround the word j!zz or I have one friend that calls me nette, but everything else is about j!zz
That's a language/culture thing I believe.
Or Ciroc/sarack.
I'm a call you Genie.
Nicknames don't have to exact pieces of the longer name! Goodness, in my years, my nicknames have been from a normal "Krys" to "K2O" to "Tank Girl" to "Poptart"
lol! nah...
no, i don't think you're weird at all. i think it's funny because you're NTTC right? lol. but also because i can't get H to tell me any names he likes. i still really like amelia. i say just name her that.
nope. we are def not TTC.....but, we like to talk about names.....i think we talked about names like 2 months after we were together. hah!
