So our DD is Helen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-any-longtime-favorites#post-2466986 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:49:03 +0000 wrkbrk 2466986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: My favorite ever name when I was younger was Felicity. DW said no, and it was a boy anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-any-longtime-favorites#post-2466944 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:11:01 +0000 autumnlove 2466944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I &lt;3 Vivian! My aunt spells it a different way but I prefer the Vivian spelling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-any-longtime-favorites#post-2466931 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 18:52:58 +0000 stargal 2466931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Isabella. Before it was popular, it was the perfect name for a baby girl. Now i just can't use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-any-longtime-favorites#post-2466929 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 18:50:23 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2466929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't use any of my longtime favorites..</p> <p>For girls, my longtime favorite was always Vivian - since I was a little girl. I still love it, but when I got pregnant it was love at first sight/sound with DD's name. If we ever have another girl, Vivian would still make my shortlist!</p> <p>For boys, Joshua, Jonathan, and David were my long-time favorites. I lost interest in the name Jonathan when I got older, and although Joshua is still a favorite, we know so many... I would still consider it if we ever have another boy though! I love the way Joshua rolls off the tongue. As for David, we ended up using it as a middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-any-longtime-favorites#post-2466908 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 18:23:59 +0000 Torchwood 2466908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liliana went on my list a long time ago. I got lucky that DH loved it!</p> <p>When I was much younger (13?) I liked Anakin, but then Episode I came out so all the non-super nerds found out that was Vader's name. I still like Luke and Leia. DH vetoed them, not because he doesn't like them, but because one of the partners at his company has twins named that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-any-longtime-favorites#post-2466883 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 18:04:11 +0000 deerylou 2466883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've liked Gideon for as long as I can remember. My choices for girl names have shifted, so I can't say I'd use any of the names I liked as a teen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-any-longtime-favorites#post-2466878 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 18:00:42 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2466878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great choices! Those are my brother's name and my husband's name.</p> <p>My favorite name growing up was Caleb, but now my last name starts with a B, so it runs together too much. DS has a similar name, though.</p> <p>For a girl, we had always thought we would use Sophie, but now Sophia is SO POPULAR that I think we'll find another name if we have a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-any-longtime-favorites#post-2466870 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 17:51:52 +0000 autumnlove 2466870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never had a boy so we never used two of my favorite names...Benjamin &amp; Ian. I had those names on my "list" when I was younger and DH was ok with them!<br /> My girls have first names that we selected after we found out the sex. DH hates all of the unisex names for girls that I liked when I was younger. </p>
