Baby Name Post

Vincent'sMommy · #1 July 30th, 2011, 07:38 PM

Because I can't wait to have my other LO's some day I'm always thinking about names. Anyone else? What names are you liking these days for hypothetical future babies?

My favorites change all the time but here's what I'm liking now:
Boy - Ivan Fyodor or Ivan Josef
Girl - Theodora Ghislaine or Theodora Marie

(I know, I like weird names

)

Since we plan to be team green next time we'll need to decide on both genders and I told DH he doesn't have any say next time around, lol. I'd like that to be my complete sibset, though - 2 boys and a girl - Vincent, Ivan, and Theodora.

I'm sure it'll change a million times before then, though.

What are your current favorite names? What would be your ideal complete sibset?

I love thinking about baby names. Our choice for a boys name when I was pregnant with Arianna was Alexander. No idea on middle name. I am to convince DH to be on Team Green next time as well, but he thinks that's crazy! Of course, I need to convince DH to TTC#2 first

ElizabethS · #3 July 30th, 2011, 08:28 PM

Our favorite girl names:

Addison
Ella
Emma
Abrielle (but hubby doesn't like this one)

Our favorite boy names:
Leland
Evan
Hayden

Ava
Hadley

Cooper
Flynn

We definitely are going to be on team green next time! Which is possibly going to be sooner than later

We plan on baby #3 being teem green too, so we wont even talk names until later on. We had a hard time coming up with names as it was for both girls.

We will probably choose 2 girl names and 2 boy names, and then see which names fits the look after it's born.

Im glad we did that with Kaileigh. Deep down I wanted Kaileigh but we had a back up.

It was either Kaileigh Jayde or Megan Claire, and well, she does not look like a Megan to me at all but I still love that name.

Maybe is baby 3 will be a girl and she will look like a Megan Claire.

If this baby is a girl she will be either Charlotte or Catherine, middle name Yvonne.

For a boy I am still at a loss. I have a bunch of names I like, but no middle names.

We are team green again

Arianna's Mommy · #7 July 31st, 2011, 06:59 AM

Congrats Alison! Our other choice for Arianna was Catherine, but she doesn't look like a Catherine

Well if we have any more kids, then for a girl, we have a few options

Luna Winter Rose
Matilda Winter Rose
Ivy Winter Rose

For boys its so much harder, we like Felix and Oscar, but I don't know if I see us naming a child Felix, and people say Oscar sounds too like Caspar.

We were on team green with our first two, and I am undecided what to do if we have any more. We found out with Iris and Toby, and I don't think it made it any less special. I was dying to know by the time my first two were born though!

Although I should add, DH really is pulling for Johanna Elise, that was his paternal grandmother and his paternal great-grandmother's name and he was SUPER close to her. She died suddenly in 2007 after a misdiagnosis with pancreatic cancer, I mean she was in hospice shortly after she was diagnosed. I don't like it that much, so we would probably call her "Elise" (DH also goes by his middle name) Sophie almost was Johanna, but Sophie was Sophie my entire life....it was just the icing on the cake that Sophie happened to be his maternal grandmother's name as well

For boys Sean also likes Kannon & Gunnar, which totally sound like doggie names (no offense) BUT they have grown on me a bit, lol

Always have loved those names. I also like Caroline!

I love that name too! I also like "Molly" but could never use it because it's so close to "Holly" and I think it sounds stupid hahaha

I love all those girl names. I really really like Winter and Matilda is also on my list too. Oh, and Felix and Oscar are great too. I have Oskar on my list of boys names - and I think DH's maternal grandfater's name was Oscar (it's sad that I don't know for sure). I don't think it's too close to Caspar.

Oh, I also really like the name Elaine, but DH has a cousin named Elaine and I'm not into using names of close relatives, but I think I might use it as a middle name - Theodora Elaine.

I honestly haven't even thought about it. Emily was either going to be Emily Anne or Abigail Anne .
For a boy, it would have been either Ryan Michael or Matthew Cade

Guess dh and I better sit down and think about it

*BabyMaMa* · #12 July 31st, 2011, 03:19 PM

I'm so indecisive when it comes to baby names. We didn't have any names picked out for Leah. We were on Team Green, and that made it even harder to come up with anything. Leah was a few hours old before we chose a name. I think we'll be on Team Green again whenever we decide to try for another.

But I digress...

I like the name Mason, but that stupid Kardashian girl stole it from me. And I'm clueless on a girl name...Leah was hard enough to come up with, lol.

#13 July 31st, 2011, 06:56 PM

Since we already have a boy and a girl I would love to be team green next time but DH would never go for it.

Girls:
Leah
Hadley (it means field of Heather or from Heather. LOL)
Madeleine

Boys:
Levi
Josiah
Jacob

Are you hinting at something?????????????????????????????

#15 July 31st, 2011, 07:17 PM

^^^I was wondering the same thing ...

Daffodil · #16 July 31st, 2011, 10:06 PM

Hubby and I both like Aurora but decided we can't do it with Arielle--we have a hard enough time convincing people we didn't name her after the Little Mermaid, we would never live both names down!

Ally-Mac · #17 August 1st, 2011, 04:54 AM

^^^^lol Seema!

I haven't really thought about it too much. I know I want to have another baby - I'd rather now than later to be honest but financially we can't do daycare for 2 kids so it most likely won't be until another 2 years or so (I'm thinking TTC late next year).

I had such a hard time the 1st time around picking names. I don't even think we had a boy's name picked. For a girl the only other names we had tossed around were Sarah and Alyssa. For a boy, I like Grady. I also like Charlie (for either a boy or a girl) but DF didn't like that one.

I also love the name Stormy but DF would NEVER EVER let me use it.

I love the name Charles with the nickname of Charlie. Both my Grandfather's and my Uncle were named Charles and went by Charlie. But, like you, my DH would never go for it.

We've decided to be on team green this time and I had a dream the other night that it was another boy and we named him Oliver. I told my husband this and he said that would work out well, Oliver for a boy and Olivia for a girl. I kind of like it so let's see if it sticks.

I love the name Olivia! We have a hard time with names as well. I want another one, maybe in a year or two, but I have no clue on names!
