    We didn't know the gender ahead of time, so we had to chose two first and middle names. We had a girl and named her Rose Melinda (Rose because I've loved the name forever, Melinda after my late aunt) and if we had a boy his name would have been Feliks David (Feliks is the Polish form of Felix and DH is Polish, and David after my late best friend).

    @Jenny_Rose : Ruby was my #2 name choice for a girl! But now that we have a Rose, I don't think we'll use Ruby if we have another girl, sisters named Rose and Ruby is a little too cutsey/cheesy for me (plus DH was watching a tv show one day and they had a pair of ox named Rose and Ruby...) :laugh:

    I always loved the name Rose too (as you can see by my profile name). I had to give up the name because it would be redunkulous with my husband's/my married last name: Rose Rosenthal. :

    I kind of like the idea of Rose and Ruby together...but I also kind of like cutesy/cheesy stuff. :-)

    Just wondering if anyone has thought of (or chosen) a name for their little one yet?!

    We also both like the name Penelope (but we wouldn't be naming for anyone, and my husband is not big on using the same name as a Kardashian).

    Penelope Kardashian? Admittedly I had to look this up. I didn't realize this was the new baby's name.

    I like the name Penelope, but my husband doesn't. I associate it with The Odyssey primarily and then Lost (Desmond and Penny were some of my favorite characters).

    Girl: Lucy, Sophia, Isabella, Alexis
    Boy: Alex, Riley, Logan

    No idea on names we will not even consider negotations on that subject until late summer..... and at that it doesnt' matter as dad will not fully consider until seeing the baby after s/he is born. We love a suprise.
    But some great names.... Noah Matthew is the name of one of my sons.... and another close one was Leah Anne, my other children are Michael James (is dad's names reversed James Michael), Christopher Nicholas and Nina Marie.
  • I also really love the name Rifka, and I think "Rifki Rosenthal" would be the cutest little girl name in the world. And I loved the name Ari for a boy. My husband vetoed both as "too Jewish." :-(

    My god daughter is Ari! I love it.

    We've been set on a girl's name since the middle of the first trimester but it took forever to think of a boy's name (at first we didn't want to know what we were having). Well, we changed our minds and know we're having a girl, and the name we chose is Makayla Renee.

    ETA: After we chose the name (it's one that just stuck with me once I put the two together), we found that Makayla (feminine variation of Michael) means "who is like God?" and Renee in it's latin origin means "born again". Such an awesome combination! :smile:

    Well, St. Michael is kind of a badass... I mean, as far as saints go :smile:

    ETA the link for St. Michael, if you're interested: http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=308
    We know what you mean; my husband and I both being military, it's fitting seeing as how Michael is the patron saint of soldiers :smile:

    Currently waiting on our first son, Jensen Scott. He'll have the same initials/middle name of his father and late grandfather. Like my daughter, I heard of the name because of a tv show hahaha. We have a two year old girl named Anya Elizabeth. :)
  • if I have a girl I'd like a T name to go with Toni and Tia... I quite like Tate but still pondering...

    I'm also finding myself drawn to nature names: Autumn, Aspen, Brook, Beck, Sky...

    Is it just me, or is it so much fun deciding??
  • Too early to know what we're having yet (I'm only 5 wks) - but I've started early! It took me a short time for the girl's name, but a long while to choose the boys.

    For a girl, Leila Marie (or Leila Alexis), or Olivia Marie.
    For a boy, Christopher Jeremiah or Julian Miles.

    He/she will be joining Xavier Charles.

    So, I shared these names with my DH, and he shot down all except Julian and Olivia. He didn't like Marie or Miles, though. *Sigh* Point in why I started early...... :grumble:

    We had a girl name picked out early, but it took us until month 7 or so to settle on a boy's name. My husband was SO picky but he had absolutely no suggestions whatsoever...

    We haven't even started and I'm 25 weeks tomorrow! We're having a third girl, though, and we've had much more ease picking girls' names than boys' in the past, so we're hoping it'll be easy-ish this time around too! This baby will be joining Caroline Hope, Laena Faith, and Elliott David. We might go on with the theme of virtues for her middle name, but aren't stuck on it yet. It's stressful to pick names! And we never share them with anyone until the baby is born so people can't argue. :laugh:

    DH and I have had Aurora Frances picked out for a while now if we have a girl. Boys names are a little tricky as DH and I have quite different tastes. I like Arthur, Albert, Jasper, Oliver, Flynn, Alexander and then some more unusual ones like Henning. DH perhaps likes Arthur and Alexander, and he doens't mind Isaac, which is a nice name but not qutie sure it's what I want.

    Will be watching this thread with interest!

    Oh I love those boy choices!!!
