I'm 13wks 5d and I find out in 2.5 wks what I'm having :D Hubby and I have agreed on a girl name, but CANNOT find a boy name we both like.

Onalee Ryann Crews for a girl

We have a 2yr old son named Emery Scott (His name was gold from the moment my husband said it)

I'm wanting something different, but not completely off the wall. I don't have a letter preference. Husband kind of wanted to stick with an Irish name, but that's not really that important.

My name is Miann (me-ann)
and Hubby is Ryan (if that makes a difference)

I've been looking through baby name books LONG before I found out I was pregnant and STILL can't come up with anything :(

Emmett (which I LOVE, hubby hates)
Rylan (I'm ehh, and hubby is ok with)
That's all we have come up with.

Help pretty please :)

    It took us a LONG time to decide on our son's name- he will be Benjamin (Benny). It is so hard to find a solid name outside of the top 30- in the end, we gave up on avoiding popular and just went with what we both could agree on.

    Owen is great- was on our list
    Warren- similar feel but less popular
    I like rylan too.

    There are some great baby name sites that will recommend names based on other names you like. Nymbler.com is one. We also searched through behindthename.com by origin of name, so you could search for Irish names that way. I KNOW there is a Gaelic name site that offers Americanized versions of galic names, but I can't remember the site name.

    Emery and Emmett might be too close (I nixed Timothy off our boy list because our son is Thomas - so we'd have Tom and Tim), but I do like the name. Maybe Elliott? I'm so into traditional names that it is hard for me to suggest, sorry!

    However, since you find out the sex soon anyway, why not just wait? You might find out you're having a girl, in which case your work is done :smile: If you are having a boy, you still have plenty of time to decide.

    (Says the lady who is 35 weeks, who doesn't know the sex, and who hasn't discussed it very much yet with her husband - we had a brief conversation about it Friday...)
