Let's talk names
I'm bored and have visited just about every Bump board in existence today.
So, mom's-to-be...what baby names are on your list right now?

love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
Re: Let's talk names
Wyatt is our default. We both really like it but I'm having a hard time saying it's "the one." Our hesitation is primarily that it's DCP's 2 year old son's name. I know our kids won't be there forever but it's in the back of our minds.
Zachary is also on our list. We both like it but H doesn't like it quite as much as Wyatt.
I recently added Will to my list but I haven't run that past H. I doubt he'll like it.
And, finally, I can't get Graeme/Graham out of my mind. I really really love it! H didn't veto it but he says he automatically thinks of graham cracker
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
We almost did Nathan, Brendan, Jonah, Noah, Sameul.
I really like Graham. There is a kiddo at daycare named that.

Here are some names of kids in K's class that I haven't heard of before or don't hear often: Kasen, Flint, Josah
That's all I have. But if you do go with Graham, don't spell it funky!
PS- I like all of your options!
Graham was on our list for Anders, I like it!
Right now, we have nothing. S and I have yet to even discuss names seriously, he's working way too much until the end of October, so we have November-LO's due date to figure out some name options. At this point, he/she is 2.0.
Not a mom-to-be, but here are some on my list for future possibilities:
Jack
Michael
William
Tyler
Kaitlyn (hey, you always need to think about the possibility that the u/s was wrong, right?)
Other names that are great, but not on our list b/c we don't want to look like we're picking a favorite family member: Scott, Benjamin, Andrew, Nicholas
Graeme is funky?! It's a common Scottish spelling

It's the spelling before it was Americanized. I love it!
It's funky maybe because it's Scottish and I am not. I've never seen it spelled that way. I prefer a good old standard spelling.
And I may be the minority (becuase I never read things right) but if you hadn't put Graham, I would have had no clue how to pronounce Graeme.
One of my best friends sons name is Graham. Its cute and it fits him. My list included: Hudson, Callum, Alexander, Ashton, Boston (my husband said never, ever, ever would this happen) and Brady. Thats what I can think of off the top of my head. I thought boys names were harder than girls
This is not Scotland, however. I would find it extremely unlikely that anyone would ever spell his name correctly. I've never in my life seen this spelling. I think I am sensitive to this b/c my Mom's name was "misspelled" (she felt) and she actually legally changed it when she was around 45 years old b/c she was just so tired of it.
Uniqueness does come with some potential difficulties for the kiddo, is all I'm saying.
Graham is lovely, like that a lot.
We considered John (Jack), Ryan, Benjamin, Patrick, Thomas, Colin, William. For a girl we considered Caroline & Eleanor most strongly.
I haven't heard/seen it spelled Graeme before. I would not have guessed that it was pronounced the same as Graham. I probably would've said Gray-m or Gray-mey. Just my 2?.
I really liked Hudson or Harrison but they were way too trendy for my husband.
Yep, exactly that. One of my FB friends had a baby and posted a pic of their (expected) baby's room and had the letters "GRAEME" on the wall and I could not, for the life of me, figure out how it was pronounced. I don't remember how I ever did figure it out - LOL!
I do like Graham, though!
Unless he doesn't look like one, it sounds like we're settled on Joah James.
And, for my haterz: It's a real name!
I don't have any boy names to toss out there, we never could agree on one. Thankfully we are having a girl lol. Our little one will be named Sophie Lou.
I really do like the name Graham though! My boss has a nephew by that name and it fits him perfectly. Adorable
Graham is on our list, too. H likes Graeme which we both have heard of because of the golfer Graeme McDowell but we would spell it Graham.
TTC #1 since 08/11 IUI#2 = BFP!
I like the name Graham, but unless you're putting the kid in a kilt, I'd spell it the "American" way.
I wouldn't have known how to say it as well.
Not a really a fan of Wyatt either, sorry.
Not sure I like how it sounds with E's name.
My BIL is named Evan. He has a brother named Nathan, and those two sound good together.
Evan and Nathan.
If you are planning on moving to Scotland I say go for it...if you are staying in the United States I would spell it Graham.
I know a little boy named Wyatt...he is a total cutie! But...I can't help but think Wyatt Earp when I hear that name:)
