I thought I was having a little boy, but the last ultrasound said possibly girl. Stuck now because I was frustrated enough looking at boy names, but now I have to plan for little girl names.

What do you have so far?

  • I felt weird about sharing my first girl's name before she was born but this time I'm OK w it. Her name is Madison "Maddie" Elizabeth Smith. :-)

    We're having a BOY! and his name will be Bentley Zeke.
    We love it, even though several people have felt the need to tell us how strange it is.

    If we were having a boy he would have been Fox James Cody but since she's a girl she'll be Olive Julie Monique. We've also had some people tell us how strange Olive and Fox are for names but that's too bad. No one will care about names once they see a cute little baby, I'm sure.

    Our little boy will be named after my husband....Christopher Robert Jr.

    We finally agreed on one name we liked for a girl right before finding out he was in fact a boy. I am hoping to use it next time if we are blessed to have that girl. :)
  • We are having a boy, and we are not sharing the name because we already had to change it once because "a friend" took it. However, I LOVED the name we had picked out for a girl so I will share it with you in case it inspires you. We had the name Penelope Noel all picked out. So sad I will never get to use it (this is our last baby.)

    We are having a boy, his name is Ryan William. Ryan is named after a close friend of my husband's who passed away when he was in his 20's and William after my Dad :) .

    Boy name is Ernest Gerald and girl name is Lena Lucille. We love family names, and this go round I get to pick the name as my husband named both of our sons.

    David Terry ( named after both of our fathers)
    Iver Roy (named after a great-uncle on his side, and we each had a grandpa named Roy)

    Ernest Gerald is my paternal great-grandpa, and my maternal grandpa's names
    Lena Lucille is my paternal great-grandma, and Lucille is my maternal grandma's middle name, and his paternal grandma's first name.

    Ignore everybody. No one liked Iver when we picked that name and now everyone comments on that it is the perfect name for his personality. Same thing with our girl name Lena. My mother-in-law keeps telling me that all she can picture is Ole and Lena jokes. Told her to get over it. That name has been picked out since we were pregnant with our first. She's had 8 years to get use to the idea.

    We are having a little girl and up until recently, her name has been Sawyer Jayne. Well, my three year old daughter McKenna keeps insisting that her name is Marissa so I think she might end up being Sawyer Marissa. I have noidea wher she got the name Marissa but it's actually very pretty. I really like the names Harper and Finley too but my hubby gave them both a big thumbs down.....so Sawyer it is!

    Great names everybody...love to see the variety.

    I think we've finally settled on:
    Seth for a boy
    Autumn for a girl (Mom doesn't like it, but I think it's so pretty)

    The middle name will probably his father or my grandma David and Rena

    We're having a little boy and his name is Thomas (Tommy) Liam Faith V.

    My last name is Faith and his daddy's last name starts with the V and I wanted to make sure both of our names got in there. Tommy was picked after my dad who is still with us but is going through some serious health issues. My dad cried when I told him the name <3

    Having a girl! The middle name was easy- both of our moms have the same middle name- Jean.

    As for firsts, we are between Amelia and Piper... so-

    Piper Jean

    or

    Amelia Jean

    I think I am partial to Amelia, though now it is in the top names... gah! I wanted something a little more unique. I also really like Sawyer, though hubby says no because it reminds him of Sawyer from the TV show Lost.

    Tommy or Harry or Charlie for a boy (we already have a Johnny)

    no idea on girls yet.... something that goes well with Grace & Charlotte, since those are our 2 older girls...

    maybe Sarah or Isabel or Jane

    Chances are strong that she'll be Lilah Ruth. We've also discussed Anna, Brielle, Eva, and Evelyn. Ruth will be her middle name period. We pick that first as we do middle names after family. So her first name is still subject to change but the kids have been calling her Lilah for a few months now so unless she comes out and we're both like "She is So NOT a Lilah" that will be her name. I haven't monogrammed anything. lol

    If we'd had a boy he would've been Pierce William. We didn't even discuss other boy names. We picked out Pierce in our last pregnancy and just changed the middle name this go around - we alternate sides of the family, his, mine, his mine, and this time it was his so the name we picked out last name didn't work because it was from my side. lol Yeah we're complicated like that.

    Our other children's names are:

    Kayden Paul
    Colton Robert
    Sawyer Donovan
    Sierra Catherine

    Our son Sawyer was born when that Lost show was popular and someone asked if we named him after the show. We've never seen a single episode of the show, I didn't even know there was a character on there named Sawyer until that question. lol If Sawyer had been a girl he would've been Savannah Catherine and if my older two had been girls they would've been Catherine Grace. If Katie didn't sound too similar to Kayden that's what we would've named this one. We both love it but just too similar and confusing we decided.

    It's funny that people mention linking Sawyer to the show Lost....I never even thought of that (well....I don't watch Lost so I guess that would also be a reason). When I hear the name Sawyer, I think of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer, lol!

    Lena Lucille is my paternal great-grandma, and Lucille is my maternal grandma's middle name, and his paternal grandma's first name.

    We're naming after our grandparents as well. A boy will be Orin after my grandfather and a girl will be Charlotte after his grandmother.

    The middle names are after where he proposed to me. We were backpacking on North Manitou island, which is in Leelanau County, MI. The ferry to get to the island leaves from Leland, MI.

    So if a boy, his name will be Orin Leland.
    For a girl, I like Charlotte Leelanau, but Mark thinks that's too long and we that should call her Charlotte Leeloo, which I'll probably let him talk me into.

    Lilah is my favorite girls' name ever. My husband hates it though! Liliana was the best compromise we could come up with. So jealous that you get to use it though!

    We're still picking through names. We're not going to find out what we're having, so we have to pick for both.

    For a boy, the only name we have is Ian Arthur.

    For a girl, we have Maiya Elizabeth or Zoey Mae.

    We definitely need more names to pick through, but we've got time yet.

    I like Autumn. Before I got married, all of my favorite girl names were nature-related; Daisy and Rose were my favorites. Since we've chosen to give all of our children Gaelic names, we picked the Irish version of Rose for this baby. Her name will be Roisin Marie (pronounced "Ro-sheen"). I also like it because our current youngest daughter is named Aisling ("Ash-ling"), which is a type of poetry, and Roisin Dubh is the name of a famous poem of that type.

    We are still thinking about names. For a boy, We have thought about Alexander Jonathan and for a girl, it was Shoshanna Abigail, but my hubby isn't liking the girl's name or any other that I like... I also like Persephone and Penelope. Still a process bc I'm not caring about the boy name either, lol.

    We are having a girl & still undecided. There are only a few that we both have agreed were maybes. I love Jillian, but right now my husband's fav is Alexis. It's ok to me, but don't have the same feeling as I do for Jillian, but it may be an alright compromise.

    When Sawyer was a newborn my SIL came to visit and she started calling him Tom. I nearly flew off the handle. Thankfully DH told her to stop because I couldn't have done so in a nice manner. I was a bit hormonal and if I wanted my kid called Tom I would've named him Tom. We found the name in a baby book and it just rang right for him. I can't imagine calling him anything else at this point.

    We only have middle names picked out. If it's a boy, Kenneth. My husband's middle name is Kenneth, and both of our grandfathers are Kenneth. For a girl, Colleen. My grandmother, who died my senior of high school, was named Colleen and I've always wanted to use that name. Only, it's pronounced "Cul-leen", not "Col-leen" - just because my grandma pronounced hers that way :happy:

    We both like the name Logan for a boy, but still are undecided.

    Well my little girl is going to be named Sawyer as well...love the name and have never once linked it to the show Lost, lol!
