But DH knew a Theodore/Teddy and says we can't use it. UGHH. I'd be happy with either the full or nn of that. Hope you and DH work it out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/3#post-1418454 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:49:20 +0000 jill_a55 1418454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/3#post-1418450 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:48:58 +0000 jill_a55 1418450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: I hope he does too! Names are tough... I don't want to regret our name, or have my DH regret me making him name our baby something :happy: The problem is he doesn't like "typical/normal" names, so all those names on your list, even though I like them, he would say no to! Not sure how Theo is still a contender.. because I thought he would have said no to that one right away as well. The search continues... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/3#post-1418448 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:48:26 +0000 jhd 1418448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: I love Theo &amp; Theodore! Maybe DH will come around! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/3#post-1418421 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:38:23 +0000 nana87 1418421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: awww, I really like Theodore with Theo as a nn, I hope your dh comes around! :silly: I would think with your personal experience he'd be more open to the full name, that's a bummer! You've probably searched high and low at this point so this prob isn't helpful, but some boy names that I can think of that don't have nns but are "full" names are Simon, Seth, Noah, Aaron, Owen, Ethan, Eric, Adam, Ryan, Tristan, Dylan, Sean, Miles, Scott, Graham, Mason (I may or may not have come up with some of those by looking at my fb friend list, lol...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/3#post-1418364 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:24:39 +0000 jhd 1418364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: I like the idea of a full name with a possible nickname. Or finding names that don't really lend themselves to nicknames. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1418357 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:23:26 +0000 jill_a55 1418357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: My name is a nickname w/o a full name (Jill.. obviously :wink: ) My mom wanted to do Jillian but my dad wouldn't do it... I kinda wish it was so that I had the option, which is why I am kind of stuck on doing a full name/nickname option... My brother and sister both have full names but have gone by the nicknames their whole lives... </p> <p>I love the name Theo, and my husband likes it.. currently it's the highest name on our very short, terrible list of names lol. However, I would like it to be Theodore and just always call him Theo. I think part of my attachment is because Theodore is a family name but my DH doesn't agree at all! I can't think of any names we like that don't have set nicknames... most of the names we've thrown around have gotten shot down because I didn't like the possible nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1418313 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:11:50 +0000 nana87 1418313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: It depends on the name, but in general, I'm with you, I prefer a full name that has a nickname. Like, calling a Katherine by the nickname Katie rather than just naming the baby Katie; I'd rather officially name Katherine in case she wants to use a full name later on professionally or whatever (not that Katie by itself is unprofessional, my bff is actually a straight up Katie with no "full" name and she has a great, professional career :wink: ). Or Dan/Daniel, Ben/Benjamin, etc; there's nothing unprofessional about a Dan or a Ben but I'd still use the full name...But on the other hand, neither my name nor dh's really has a nickname associated with it--we go by our full names all the time (I'm an Anna; my parents call me nana, hence my username, but no one else does. my grandma called me Ann but she's the only one! no one ever called me Annie...) and I think that works too! dh is an Evan, and goes by no nickname at all (he doesn't like Ev). Are there any names without set nicknames that you guys both like? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1418249 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:51:11 +0000 jill_a55 1418249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you girls think about a nickname being the actual full name?? My DH doesn't like nicknames when the baby has a full name... but I do :sad: we are in the biggest name debate ever and am pretty sure our baby will not have a name when he comes. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1415540 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 16:12:11 +0000 jhd 1415540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: yay! i'm glad that all worked out ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1415096 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:56:45 +0000 nana87 1415096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so, phew!! I just heard back from my friend with the baby named Rose, and she was just like "oh how funny that their names are so similar!" so, all is good! haha, I knew it would be, but I'm glad anyways </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1403535 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:51:48 +0000 luckypenny 1403535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@preggomeggo82: awww I love those names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1403497 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:41:14 +0000 jhd 1403497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: i wouldn't worry about it. i love the name you chose! and like you said you don't see each other super often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1403489 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:39:06 +0000 jhd 1403489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@preggomeggo82: LOVE those names! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1403373 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 12:02:49 +0000 preggomeggo82 1403373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our little guy's name is Calvin Charles. Named for each of our grandfathers. :heart: </p> <p>But it's a secret so shhhhhh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1402726 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 09:10:05 +0000 nana87 1402726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: @luckypenny: thanks ladies!! we aren't going to change her name, we love it too much and even though she hasn't been born yet it feels like it's too late, she already is our little Rosalie! I already wrote my friend back (we were emailing all this) and she hasn't responded yet, but I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not really the same thing, but sort of similar in terms of what could be considered stepping on toes; we're still friends after she planned her bridal shower on the same day as mine (she got engaged after my wedding and shower dates were set). Neither of us is very dramatic so I don't think she'll be upset. And I also don't think we'll use Rose as a nickname anyway, I gravitate more towards Lee or Lee-lee, or just using her full name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1402391 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:37:27 +0000 luckypenny 1402391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: aww man! I think they're different enough that it doesn't matter but I can see it would be a little bummer. But I love love LOVE Rosalie and don't think it will be an issue for you guys :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1402353 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:14:10 +0000 LovelyPlum 1402353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: that's not too close, in my opinion! I love the name you picked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1399859 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 07:47:37 +0000 nana87 1399859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SOOOO.....just found out that my good friend (lived next door to each other in college for the first 2 years, bridesmaid in my wedding, etc) named her daughter who was born in late Dec Rose....pretty dang similar to Rosalie! We hadn't shared our name ideas with each other and we aren't going to change ours, but I hope she doesn't think it's too weird? We actually live really close to each other now (less than 2 miles) but rarely see each other (few times a year), though I am hoping that changes since we'll have little girls the same age, and our social circles don't really overlap at all...Hmmmmm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1350812 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 17:27:16 +0000 LovelyPlum 1350812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: fair :) And I come from a long line of indecisive namers, so I really shouldn't be surprised. I just have *no* ideas now, so we're sorta stuck. I know we'll come up with something, just not sure what! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1350054 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:04:51 +0000 jhd 1350054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: LOL well my parents were all set on a girls name and had NO boys names at all. they told me it was a good thing I was a girl! ;) seriously I know you will find a great name. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1350037 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:00:55 +0000 LovelyPlum 1350037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSpadusa: I love that name!</p> <p>@gilmoregirl: and I know that you can't use it, but I do love Nora :)</p> <p>So remember how I said our boy's name was set? Yeah...not so much anymore. DH decided he wasn't comfortable with it, so it's back to the drawing board we go. Which probably means we're having a boy :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1347757 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 20:47:27 +0000 jhd 1347757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSpadusa: two of my favorite girl names! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1347734 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 20:42:20 +0000 nana87 1347734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSpadusa: what a sweet name!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1347594 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 19:51:28 +0000 MrsSpadusa 1347594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love all the name choices on here- a lot of them are very unique!<br /> We decided to name our little girl Emma Grace. Probably will just call her Emma but DH and I figure that she can use her full name later on in her life if she wants to be more "sophisticated", lol.<br /> I am so excited for everyone!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/april-2014-names/page/2#post-1317024 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 10:21:13 +0000 gilmoregirl 1317024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PEAPIE: That's really cool! That's where we got Patrick -- it's my husband's middle name. He and his dad share a first name and have different middles, but it's been a total pain for them. So we're thinking we'll give the baby his middle name instead. :)</p> <p>@nana87: We were hoping to pick a family name for our little guy, but we have limited choices b/c of other names. Plus our families have some recent immigrants and the names were a little TOO Italian/Irish for us :) But my husband's grandfather was Padraig, so Patrick's a happy medium haha.</p> <p>Our girl's name has been settled since before we were married -- Nora Margaret, for both of our grandmothers -- and I just love seeing so many little Nora's being born. I hope we'll get to use it someday :) </p>
