We are having a gender ultrasound this Friday and (confession: I am hoping for a girl since this is our last) and am hoping that if I have a boy name I love, it will help temper any brief disappointment.
DS's name is William (nn Liam) Lawrence L_______. I obviously want a name that "goes." Middle name will be James. Anyway, which name do you prefer?
I am also open to suggestions! DH has vetoed: Blake, Collin, Emmett, Oliver, Gavin, Graham

Between the 3, I like Elliott best; I think the L sounds go well with an L last name (Elliott Lemon vs. Ethan Lemon), as well as a sibling with an L nickname (Liam and Elliott vs. Liam and Ethan).

I voted for Ethan but also like Elliott. Excited for you to find out the gender!
@Hypatia: I have a Declan and we are thinking about Connor if #2 is a boy. I like your taste

@misolee: How did you decide whether to spell Elliot vs Elliott? It seems like both are traditional spellings.

I love Ethan!
I find Aiden/Aidan still super popular so it would sway me from that name.

Weston
Wyatt
Dylan

Liam is my all time favorite name but DH didnโt like it. We have a Matthew Robert and a Connor James. Connor was my number 2 name. Since I was so sad when baby 2 was a boy DH let me use my number 2 name.

I love Liam, and I voted Ethan because it's DS's name. Its Top 7 right now I believe, but I only very distantly know of 2 other Ethan's and they're a decade older.

I chose Ethan. There was very big wave or Aiden, Jayden, Brayden and other rhyming names a few years ago and I havent quite gotten over it yet.

Everett is a handsome name. Sounds wonderful with James and MN and I think goes well with sibling William NN Liam.

@LCTBQE: Yes!! All I know is being a boy mom. I went to the "forbidden" section of Target (baby girl's clothes) and it felt so weird! I bought these and felt a lot better.

@crazydoglady: congrats! So fun! I have one of each and while I love them both so much, my girl is sooo much more fun to shop for!

@crazydoglady: Congrats! I hope your wallet is ready As a mom of three (!!!) girls, the oldest of whom is about to be six, the novelty of shopping for little girl clothes and accessories STILL has not worn off.
