Since we were never able to name that baby, I felt ok using the names for our lo. If it was a boy it would be Jack Isaac after hubby's grandpa and my greatgrandpa, and our girls name was Rose Helen, for our greatgrandmas. Yes, I know they're Titanic names. </p> <p> It was a girl, so if we have a boy next we'll use Jack. We haven't agreed on a girls name. I'll worry about it when I get pregnant, not before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-58100 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:34:06 +0000 BSB 58100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two girl and one boy name picked out. We have the middle name picked out for the boy but not for the girl yet. We are not pregnant yet, so we have some time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-9302 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:09:30 +0000 chopsuey 9302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jbhops I say you name your baby boy Jack! That's too cute. :) My husband was dead set against giving our daughter a middle name, but after seeing me go through labor, he was literally putty in my hands. He let me have whatever I wanted the first 24 hours after my baby was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-9256 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 21:02:35 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 9256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have more girls' names than boys names for this baby... Poor child, if it's a boy, my best name has already been used on Big Brother. </p> <p>I have a really strong feeling it's another boy, but last time it was a strong feeling I was having a girl. Wrong! So we'll see in about 11 weeks if my strong feeling is correct. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-9133 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 17:10:09 +0000 PBandBaseball 9133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really like the names Henry and Charlotte but we'll see what ends up happening. I'm a lot more in love with our boy name because I think that calling him Hank would be adorable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-9129 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 16:55:45 +0000 Colekbl 9129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had a boys name picked out since we were dating but since becoming pregnant we've had the hardest time deciding on a girls name. I have a feeling if we have a girl we'll end up naming her in the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-8953 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:59:40 +0000 Meridian 8953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had the girl name "Audrey" picked out for years and years (and I'm not even TTC yet). I know many people don't often share their potential baby names to people because they don't want people to be commenting on the names. However, I have been telling my friends for a while because I don't want anyone else to "steal" it, HAHA. :)</p> <p>We are stumped on boys names though... we came across the name "Grayson" yesterday (there was a chef on Top Chef named Grayson, albeit a female chef), and we kind of liked the sound of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-8907 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:32:54 +0000 Mrsbells 8907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wont find out the gender for another 3 weeks, but we already have one girl name in mind, but I'm a little blank about boy names. I guess we still have plenty of time to decide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-8889 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:10:11 +0000 MH.Abroad 8889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't think I'm nuts, but we have five full girls names and five full boys names picked out, and have since before we were even married. I know it sounds insane, but that's kind of how we approach everything in life - research and planning - way before it's needed. On the bright side, it's one less thing to argue about when we're pregnant! We'll wait till we see our LO before we decide which of the five names for their gender fits them the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-6295 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 11:55:49 +0000 Jenna 6295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the past few years, every time I've heard a name that I liked I've saved it to a file on my computer. I have quite the list now, but Hubs isn't quite on board with all...erm, most of them. </p> <p>For a long time Oliver/Olivia and Eleanor were my top picks, but now that they're becoming more popular I'm not so sure anymore. In my office alone we have two baby Olivers, and an Eleanor! </p> <p>Right now I'm really liking the name Adelynne but I'm not so sure on my top boy's name : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-6281 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 11:37:55 +0000 Adira 6281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not even TTCing yet, but we've talked names. I think we have a boys name figured out 100%, but the girl's name is in flux. I had one picked out that we had both agreed on, but it's actually the same name as one of my husband's cousins, so I'm now thinking I don't want to use it. I think I have a new name picked out, but haven't figured out a middle name to go with it! The boy's middle name was easy because my husband's family has a tradition of giving the same middle name to all the first sons, so we'll use that too for our first son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-6259 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 10:13:17 +0000 PitBulLover 6259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first son will be named Benjamin Douglas (after DHs grandpa and my uncle) If we have a daughter I'd like to name her Charlotte, maybe Charlotte Jean and if we were to have another boy we like the name Marshall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-6032 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:39:47 +0000 jennylynn 6032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started looking at names as soon as we found out I was pregnant. We are both picky, and have conflicting taste when it comes to naming style, so I knew it'd be a challenge. We've got one for a girl, and one for a boy, so far that we both agree on. We're still looking though. I'm terrified we will see our baby and only have one name picked out, and it won't "fit"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-6022 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:23:23 +0000 katdevargas 6022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The husbone &amp; I also started talking about baby names when we were still dating @enjollah :)<br /> we aren't finding out the gender, so if it's a boy, it will be josue {joshua} henry - my husband loves the name josue &amp; henry was my grandfather who died last year<br /> and if it's a girl it will be lola kay {my great-grandmother &amp; both of our moms' middle names is/are kay &lt;-- not sure of proper sentence structure here}<br /> after these names are gone, though, we got nothin for the future kiddos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-5764 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 19:34:07 +0000 eeh 5764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're TTC and our name list changes pretty frequently. Anything that ends with an -n is out because our last name ends with an -n and it just seems like a mouthful. All the names I love end with an -n though so I might end up changing my mind.</p> <p> We're pretty partial to more traditional sounding names for both boys and girls. For a boy we want something very rugged and manly and husband wants it to be kind of western/cowboy sounding. We like Wyatt a lot. I also love, love, love the name Nixon but that pesky n gets in the way. Middle name will be Wayne because husband, his dad, grandpa, great gpa, etc. all have that middle name.</p> <p>Girls: More all over the place here. My maiden name is Harper and I've always wanted that before it became popular to use your maiden name and before Harper became popular. Now, I don't want it anymore. We're leaning toward something like Charlotte or Nora or Ruby with the middle name being Louise after my grandma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-5579 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 07:22:36 +0000 hreichard 5579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont have another name picked out for a boy, but i do for girls.

Of course, we found out today that we're having a boy... We're thrilled, but having a hard time coming up with a name that we love that isn't too common, but isn't weird either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-5517 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:22:34 +0000 enjollah 5517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I started talking about names we liked in our later stages of dating (I know... a little weird). We just found out that our little peanut will be a boy but I've always liked names for girls that are typically known for boy names such as...Jordyn, Rian, and Billie =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4843 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:39:28 +0000 mrsjyw 4843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're 99% sure on a boy's name, Ethan. We like Sophie for a girl's name, but I have an ongoing list that changes monthly. Good thing we are just prepping for TTC :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4832 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:24:21 +0000 mediagirl 4832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted to have a boy and name him Jack. My husband vetoed that from the first day we even considered talking about having kids. Why? My name is Jill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4827 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:14:37 +0000 Running Elley 4827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a boy Jeremiah is pretty definite for us. Our top two girl names are Aubrey and Hannah. Who knows if that will change though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4823 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:07:59 +0000 DpeachLu 4823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I am currently 15 weeks pregnant so dont quite know what we are having yet. We have both a boy name and a girl name picked out.<br /> For a boy we would like Noah Anthony (Anthony is my husbands middle name as well.)<br /> For a girl we have the name Zaira picked out (no middle name yet - pronounced like Mayra would be but with a Z.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4805 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 10:15:49 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 4805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had names picked out way before we starting TTC. But when it came down to it, we never chose the names on our list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4802 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 10:09:25 +0000 Mrs.VW 4802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a girl name picked out and 2 boys' names. Hopefully whenever they are born they actually 'fit' those names or I don't know what we'll use :) BTW, i LOVE the name olive. Great choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4788 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:53:10 +0000 DillonLion 4788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The names I've had picked out FOREVER have climbed to the top of the Most Popular Baby Names list and I hate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4786 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:45:38 +0000 Rock n Roll 4786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had my daughter's name picked out two years before I was even pregnant! This time, we have no clue for either gender, but I like to have a name picked out for each one before the ultrasound reveals which one it is, so we'll probably come up with something in the next few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4785 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:35:03 +0000 rawrasaur 4785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an ongoing list of names I like. I really want to avoid a popular name, so I don't want to decide on a name and have it become too popular by the time I have a baby. I hope once I'm pregnant we will decide on a name earlier on in the pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4784 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:33:05 +0000 sandsandmore 4784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we found out the genders, we picked names for both. So if we have a girl next, I'm going to suggest one of the original names, either Sydney or Savannah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youdo-you-have-names-picked-out-for-your-future-children#post-4777 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:15:53 +0000 chopsuey 4777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maisymay I know!
