    Names that I liked when choosing for our daughter:

    Sophia
    Emily Rose
    Annamarie
    Isabella
    Kaitlyn

    Hubby liked more nordic names like:

    Katarina
    Anika

    Ultimately we ended up with Colleen Jaclyn

    My husband and I were going head to head over Kaitlyn (me) and Katarina (him) -- Good thing we had a boy :smile:

    I love Gracelyn! Sounds very southern and absolutely beautiful.

    You know, I used to love coming to this site everyday. It helped me reach my fitness goals and I found that most people were very supportive and I enjoyed sharing my goals, progress, thoughts, etc. But it's people like the three gentlemen at the beginning of this thread who I've noticed coming out of the woodwork a lot lately and frankly, it's made me stop logging in as much. I get tired of people being so ugly and disrespectful all the time. I don't know how my title could have possibly been misleading but if it was then I apologize. Seemed pretty straight forward to me. Seems like if it wasn't what you thought it was, you could just see yourself out of the conversation without leaving the snide comments, but I guess we're not grown up enough for that. . So nevermind people, forget I posted anything at all. Ladies that did reply, thank you....I'm sure you all understand why I would find baby naming fun. I've only dreamt of being a mommy my whole life, as I am sure many of you have. Have a nice day..

    so you feel that way, congrats on baby number 2 though!!

    I love the Evalyn! I named my daughter Eisley, personally i like different names.

    Best middle name ever was on How I Met Your Mother when Marshall and Lily named their baby. His middle name is Wait For It.

    I gave my kids names that were old traditional names, but unusual enough that they wouldn't have to put their last name initial on their school papers. I tried to think of how their names would sound when they were in the nursing home reminiscing about their lives. :-P

    An old family tree is a good place to look for names like that. If I had another kid (not going to happen, post-hysterectomy) I would consider names like Eugenia or Louisa for a girl and Hamish or Oliver for a boy.

    Relax...

    Clearly my fun is different then your fun.

    I have 4 daughters and my wife had as much input as me in their names :)

    I am partial to Lexie.

    People who lack a sense of humor make me not want to come to this site anymore.

    I have a friend with a little girl named Taryn, (like Karen, but with a T). That would be really cute with your son's name. I also love the name Julia and feel it has a southern sound to it. A couple others Geneva, Lillian and Ruth.

    I looooove the names Stella and Chloe. I am not having any more children so I won't get to use them, so we named our cat Stella. :) If we get another pet maybe I will get to use Chloe, I'm still upset I didn't name our youngest that. It was between Chloe Elizabeth and Hannah Kate. I really wanted Chloe more but she simply didn't look like a Chloe to me. So we named her Hannah Kate. 9 years later her name fits her perfect but I am still sad we didn't use Chloe Elizabeth!

    i see you like "tessa" so I just had to throw in that my French grandmother's name was "Tressa", and my hubby and I both loved "Tressa" and were going to use it if we had a girl (2 boys, no girls!) but my baby boy's name is "Gage," which we think is kinda kool! for a girl I also like Riley, McKenzie, Shelby, Tawny and Randi.

    Trace and Tracy?

    That's a horrible idea... Like naming 2 kids Chris and Christina... names shouldn't be THAT similar...

    Whatever... she said she wanted a name that went with her son's name. Check the OP.
    But that's where I'm having the hardest time...gotta find something that I think is as awesome as Trace and that sounds good with it.

    I have a friend whose name is Tracey (male).

    He named his daughter Tracey, his son Casey, his next daughter Stacey, and his next daughter Lacey. And they love it!!

    I'm just saying... she wants it to go with Trace...not be the female counterpart of Trace. I know a guy named Robert Roberts and I wonder what his parents were thinking...kinda the same thing. I wasn't trying to attack. I would have said that to anyone. It's been a tiring day lol :)

    My uncle's name is John Johnston... and he's not bothered by it.

    Don't really see your point.

    Well then we disagree and that's it.

    A nickname for Tracy is Trace. If someone says "Hey, Trace!" and they're both there, it could be confusing. Better to eliminate that scenario. But what do I know, right.
