your LO #1 would pronounce the name of your LO#2+? Did it influence your name choice?
We're just starting to throw around a few names here and there. It definitely crossed my mind, imagining DS saying baby's name 
But it wouldn't dissuade me from using a name, since obviously he'll learn to say it right at some point!

haha, no, we didn't think about it. Xander can't pronounce Ls, so he doesn't even attempt to say Logan's name. He just calls him "baby."

YES! We are stuck between 2 names and 1 she can say perfectly (Hayden) and the other I've only gotten her to say a variation of once (Sawyer, pronounced Sawa but very hard to understand!)...

No, although DD1 can say little sister's name perfectly but not her own (L is a tough letter!)

huh, i never thought of that! but if i picked a name that LO could pronounce perfectly, that would narrow the list to, like, 2 names. one of them being poop.

I asked E to say baby's name and she kind of mumbles it and smirks and when I ask what her name is she goes "baby sister" so I think she will be known has baby sister for quite awhile after she's born 
I think it's cute though, when people ask her what her sister's name is going to be she gets super excited to say baby sister.

Argh, not another factor to consider. I haven't thought of that. There's too much to think about already.
My LO calls her cousin Henry Hunny which I think is the cutest thing ever. She pretty much says everyone else's name correctly - including mine which is pretty difficult. Look at me try to talk myself into not caring.

It never even crossed our minds! Hence, Charlotte was known as Shart for the first nine months of her life

Not really. Aurora isn't an easy name. He calls her Rory or Rora.

My younger daughter calls my older daughter See-ya. It's so cute. Both daughters can say the baby's name... But even if they couldn't, it wouldn't have stopped us.

@PrincessBaby: @Mrs. Champagne: @Shutterbug: I know, it cracked me up all the time! I'm actually a little bit sad she has now graduated on to Char-wot...

We're not on LO #2 yet but what i didnt think about was how hard it would be to say her own name at first.... Fiona has become either No-na or E-O-Na at 17 months

No, mispronounced names by LOs makes the best nicknames. We have an unintended "Sweetie" and "Cake" in our family.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: yes! My best friends aunt is still "sasa" because she couldn't pronounce her actual name over 25 years ago. So cute.

@PrincessBaby: Both of those names are beautiful. I would totally choose Sawyer, especially if LO1 pronounces it a little wrong (because, hellooooo, it's ADORABLE!!).
