[...] you believe in ultrasounds? If so, you can keep all your girl names because we’re expecting another [...]

Am anxiously awaiting gender news from you! As a mother of two boys, I just have this sneaking suspicion that if I went for a third, it would be a boy too. Which would be just fine with me, by the way!

As for girl names….I’m turning into a traditionalist..I love Abigail.

NOW…have you seen Pregnant in Heels on Bravo?? And the one with the focus group on naming?? whoa!

OOh, love Juliet and Wren. They would go so well with Holden and Milo — unique but known names. The names I wanted to use for our girl but husband scrapped: Geneva (nn Genny), Laurel, and Suzanna. Good luck choosing, naming is the hardest part!

Luella Marie. My maternal grandmother’s middle name and paternal grandmother & great grandmother’s first name. I am no allowed to use it. Which I am incredibly pissed about. My MIL is Ann Marie, taking away Marie. He hates Luella. I’ve wanted to use that name forever. Didn’t get it with kid number one, wanted it for girl #2. We are currently in a crazy fight over names.

Oh my goodness, I have a list of both a MILE long. I knew we’d use my first’s name (a family name), Adelaide, from the start. Took us forever to pick her middle name though. I heard it on a commercial – so grand! Boys names (we never got one) were very problematic, because my husband wanted one I didn’t (Raif/Rafe). Our second daughter is Harleigh (with my middle name Leigh). My husband picked it and wouldn’t let it go. I wish we’d named her Piper, now that I know her, but what can you do. I loved the name Jack for a boy (Jackson?) but a friend used it. Ryder, Rhett, Cade, Benjamin, and Garrett were all on my top for boys. For girls (besides ours) I liked Harper, Avery, Tegan, Ainsley, Victoria, Holly, Betsey, and Linleigh. I also liked Lorelai (Lori), which a friend used with Elizabeth in Jan!

I’m on my first baby now, but my husband’s deployment to Afghanistan was shortly after we found out I was pregnant. So we ended up methodically picking names for both genders before he left, since we knew it’d be much harder once he was overseas. Found out last month that it is a little girl, but since we’ve already picked her name, you’re welcome to our runner up – Keira Noelle. If you’re having another little man, our choice there was Gavin Elijah.

If I had been a boy, I would have been named Preston.

I have a little girl who is precious. but the whole time I was pregnant I thought she was a little boy. Had the whole name picked out lol Jason Floyd. i’m old fashioned..but I also had the girl name picked out too. Sarah Van..after our great grandmothers. now we are trying for another one and I would love a son! the names we picked out are Isiah Blaine,Jackson Junior after their dad and Tobias Blake..

Yes, we still have a list from #1 kid. And NO you may not borrow. We may still use the girl one yet.

We had an easy time with girl names – we had a long list we liked for our first – but we agreed upon Ashley. Other names at the top of our list were: Paige, Lauren, Lucy. Once she was here she wasn’t anything other than an Ashley.
Boy names we had a tough time with. Our girl had her name settled months before she was born; our boy still didn’t have a name when we went into the hospital to have him. Once he was born we decided on Bradley, which totally fits him I also loved the name Cash, but since we often call our daughter “Ash”, that would have been weird to have Ash and Cash!

My daughter’s Rosabelle, but if it was a boy, I would have liked Jayden (though sharing the same taste as Britney Spears is quite questionable for some…), or something like Keon (think it’s like the name of the national beer in Cyprus!).

Found this website useful when trying to pick a name for our 3rd girl last year. Our unused boy names were Conor and Owen.
