So gorgeous! :happy: avivoca on "What did your family think you were going to name your baby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-think-you-were-going-to-name-your-baby-something-else#post-2238276 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 09:55:35 +0000 avivoca 2238276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We told them her name was Hyla, but before that I think they thought we would go with a family name (I'd love to do Echo, but my aunt beat me to it!).

Some of our family/friend guesses were: Mila Jo, Eloise Jo, Evelyn Rose, Adelyn Jo, Elyse, Eliza, Eva, Elsa. Most thought we would stick with the an E (we did) my younger sister guessed right with Everly. Mila was actually on our list as well (Jo is my middle name which is why there were so many guesses with that!)

I guess they're both last names?!?! erinpye on "What did your family think you were going to name your baby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-think-you-were-going-to-name-your-baby-something-else#post-2237815 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 19:46:11 +0000 erinpye 2237815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mediagirl: that is so weird! Those (Quinn and Lauren) were 2 of my mom's guesses! My dad and step mom thought we were going to use Sophie. My grandfather freaked me the eff out and guessed "Sloan," so I had to tell him he was right, just missed the E at the end, and I swore him to secrecy.

Her mom thought Josh, lol. No one else really guessed.

So they both think they had a say in naming him. I had the name picked when we started TTC though. ;) Foodnerd81 on "What did your family think you were going to name your baby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-think-you-were-going-to-name-your-baby-something-else#post-2237408 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 13:10:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 2237408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No one really guessed- they just got annoyed that we didn't tell. :) @Bluemasonjar: I did share that if it was a girl (which she is) we would have some version of Mary in there, after both our moms and my grandmother. Her middle name is Mae, which is my grandmothers nickname.

This kind of makes me want to ask to see what people think. We are TG and are not sharing our names but I have told our families that we will use Mae as a middle name if it is a girl after my favorite Aunt and DH's grandmother. My mom keeps sending suggestions and they are all totally not our style so I think we might surprise her with the names we've picked.

I'm pretty sure it's a boy, so I'm not sure where she got a girl name, or Pippa. I do really like Poppy for a girl... Again, I'm quite sure it's a boy.

Edith after my great-grandma was mentioned by a couple people.

Little do they know he will be Lachlan, a tribute to my maiden name :) they will be so surprised ! mediagirl on "What did your family think you were going to name your baby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-think-you-were-going-to-name-your-baby-something-else#post-2237131 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 10:17:54 +0000 mediagirl 2237131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If you didn't tell before birth....what did family/friends think you were going to name your baby? My mom recently told me she thought we were going to name our daughter Quinn. My best friend thought we would name her Lauren.
