We've chosen others names that we like the sound of/meaning of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-20295 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 12:34:48 +0000 ginger 20295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi! First post to say that my name jealousy is over Grayson. My husband's first name is the same as his father's, which will likely be the same as our first son - I just love the combination of Robert Grayson. But lately I've seen it everywhere! Our next door neighbors recently welcomed a new nephew - named Grayson. </p> <p>@jessiejo17: Emerson &amp; Everly - a lovely pair of names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-20258 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:55:20 +0000 mamabolt 20258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to use the name Benjamin for a boy, but our last name sounds similar to Franklin. And we live in Philly. So yeah, that's out for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-20234 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:24:57 +0000 junebugmama 20234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I started dating DH, he told me that if he ever had a daughter he wanted to name it Lillian after his deceased Grandmother. I didn't have the heart to tell him, that my sister was pregnant and planning on naming her daughter Lilly. I remember the first time he heard it, he looked at me and said, well we're going to have to break up. Obviously that didn't happen. However, we are planning on using it as a middle name if we have a daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-20229 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:21:01 +0000 themcmom 20229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it bad to say that I don't have baby name envy? We came up with our boy and girl names and are really happy with them. And, I haven't met anyone in person with those names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-20226 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:16:05 +0000 LuLu Mom 20226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@8o8Love: I know, I'm still working on it. I think if we had two girls Emerson &amp; Everly would be adorable, but he thinks it sounds too much like Beverly. I think it's beautiful and strong! And we could call her Evie :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-19984 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:48:52 +0000 808love 19984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: Oooh I like Everly. I never heard that name before. Sounds very romantic and the right touch of femininity and strength. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-19606 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:40:49 +0000 LatteLove 19606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBee: I love the name Milo! My husband is convinced we're going to name all of our kids (all sons, of course!) after his favorite, very obscure, Biblical characters. I have no idea how this will work out when I actually am pregnant, but in the meantime I get a teeny bit of baby name envy when I hear a name that I'd never be able to convince my husband to use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-19602 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:34:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 19602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mynoahbear: wow! what a great surprise! there's so much pressure from his family to have the first girl, i have this niggling worry that a boy won't be as exciting for them :/ but I would love either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-19587 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:02:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 19587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Ellison and call her Ellie, but we have a niece named Ella and DH thinks its too confusing. And my best friend (and MOH) is Ellie, so he thinks it weird, I think its a nice little tribute. But it's a no go. Along with Piper,Paisley, Elody, &amp; Everly. Like all these names as well. For some reason I love P, E, &amp; N's for names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18847 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 13:03:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 18847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have it as of yesterday. One of my husband's friends/coworkers just had his 5th daughter and named her Eleora. I think it is beautiful. </p> <p>My husband and I are still TTC but we talk about baby names all the time. Girl's names are so hard to come up with for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18761 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 10:15:33 +0000 EloiseKE 18761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, yes. A good friend named their daughter Laurelle. I was so envious, why didn't I think of it first, it's a great name and rare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18757 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 10:06:55 +0000 Maysprout 18757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18647 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 23:03:43 +0000 mynoahbear 18647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: my husband and I thought we would only have boys too because he is one of 4 boys and only has nephews. But we are pregnant with a girl. Hubby was shocked. So you never know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18641 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 22:58:29 +0000 eeh 18641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have name envy primarily because it means they have a baby to name and I don't...yet. :) I do have real name envy over names that don't go well with our last name but that I love so much. Basically ending with an N: Hudson, Nixon, Deacon, Harrison, etc. I also feel an abnormal about of name envy to people who have made my maiden name popular to point where I'm not interest in using it anymore. I had talked about naming my child that since I was in middle school but feel like it's gotten wildly popular now. Thanks a lot Beckhams.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18594 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:17:45 +0000 autumnlove 18594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked the name Ellie/Eleanor but my family and DH despised it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18563 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 18:35:19 +0000 sorrycharlie 18563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have baby girl name envy in general! DH is one of three boys (and has 2 nephews) so our likelihood of giving birth to a girl is nil ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18434 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 11:56:34 +0000 Scudabble 18434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes- If I have a girl next I really want to name her Gracie, but our good friends just named their daughter Gracie... I'm so bummed! I have name envy every time I see her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18427 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 11:31:28 +0000 Mrs. Bee 18427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mr. Bee has baby name envy -- he wishes we'd named Charlie Milo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18424 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 11:27:37 +0000 mrsjazz 18424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have baby-name envy for Ella and Miles. But we won't use those names now because we know a few babies/toddlers with those names. But I love the names we have picked out now, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18391 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 10:05:44 +0000 cyneswith 18391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we know an Elise (friend's baby - I'd LOVE it for a middle name), his sister is Rebecca, his brother is Nathan, my godson is Andrew, my aunt tried to name my cousin Anne Sophia (she was adopted, and the process took long enough she already had a name she recognized), my second cousin will name his daughter Lilian, my nephew's middle name is Ray... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18354 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 08:55:29 +0000 MH.Abroad 18354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE Olive, but it doesn't "go" with the rest of our names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18352 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 08:52:21 +0000 tessabella76 18352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Elise but I'll never be able to use it because it is very similar to our last name and I just can't do that to my child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18339 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 07:27:50 +0000 lindsaytall 18339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive is a lovely name. </p> <p>I have MAJOR baby name envy over the names Stella, Molly, and Owen. I love them all, but my husband hates them :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18296 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 02:40:27 +0000 heffalump 18296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny, I just told my hubby tonight how much I like. Olive<br /> We use family names though so it could never be ours</p> <p>I always liked Sadie and hubby said no. At first I was pretty heart broken, but I love our lo's name so much now<br /> She wouldn't have made sense with any other name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18286 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 01:41:08 +0000 mrbee 18286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: It would've been so fun to have baby Olives together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-envy-anyone#post-18284 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 01:38:06 +0000 808love 18284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok...I am now an 'olive' as far as Hellobee post status goes. Hooray!! Sooo......I've been wanting to get something off my chest for awhile! I really wanted to name our baby, OLIVE. Soooooo much. We had ruled out many names right away, yet try as I might, I couldn't persuade my husband with this one. He wouldn't budge. In fact there was only one name we both agreed on 100% which we named our daughter before we knew the sex. Anyway, I'm so happy the Bees named their little one Olive because now I 'know' someone with a child with that name. Yay!! Whenever I see it...I feel a twinge of name envy. And now Olive is everywhere on this site, I feel it very often! She is such a cutie too. :~) Wish I could have had that name. Weird?! </p> <p>Was there any name you really wanted but had give up for any reason? </p> <p>By the way, this post is mainly to say.... I LOVE THE NAME, OLIVE. And I am happy I get to be OLIVE (my post-status) if only for a little while. </p>
