None of the names we were considering for a boy are on our list this time (we had a girl last time). There are some girl names on our list that we considered, but the forerunner is new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177574 Wed, 13 May 2015 21:56:44 +0000 birdofafeather 2177574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will reuse the list we had for LO1, but I already know that the second runner up for LO1 is out for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177545 Wed, 13 May 2015 21:04:58 +0000 simplyfelicity 2177545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends. If we have a girl next, she will be named our "girl" name. Another boy? It was hard enough coming up with the one currently baking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177506 Wed, 13 May 2015 20:10:22 +0000 MamaBehr 2177506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @PurplePeony: Us too! Our first ended up being a girl, and when she was born DH turned to me and said "I really hated the boy name!" I was shocked! Needless to say, we never used that name :) </p> <p>Our girl name from the last pregnancy will be what we use if this one is a girl! If this one is a boy, we are doomed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177487 Wed, 13 May 2015 19:58:56 +0000 Pirouette 2177487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay I'm so glad you are finding out! (I can't wait that long :silly: ). We didn't discuss names until we knew the sex, so we only discussed girl names, and there was only 1 other we liked. I think it would be on the table next time because it actually goes nicely with LO's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177461 Wed, 13 May 2015 19:39:31 +0000 catlady 2177461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a couple we'd consider for boys but we came up with our name for DD very quickly so we don't really have too many backups. Plus our other main choices for girl names don't really fit with LO's name (they were more trendy and hers is classic/old-timey). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177444 Wed, 13 May 2015 19:24:56 +0000 Truth Bombs 2177444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. None of the names we had left over from baby 1 have made the list for this one at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177442 Wed, 13 May 2015 19:20:39 +0000 anbanan15 2177442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. We had one boy and one girl name picked way before getting pregnant. Used the boy name for our first and the girl for our second. Now with the third we are really struggling with names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177441 Wed, 13 May 2015 19:19:58 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2177441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: we had a 100% boy name for baby 1, and this time around it wasn't really even a consideration! We might use it as a second middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177438 Wed, 13 May 2015 19:18:40 +0000 danda 2177438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a boy and girl name mostly but not entirely picked out before finding out gender with DD. We're taking our previously established boy choice for DS due later this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177415 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:48:30 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2177415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agreed on a boys name that we loved before finding out LO is a girl. It is 100% on the table for future LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177413 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:46:33 +0000 Torchwood 2177413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. This LO's name will be one we considered for R's first name but decided we didn't like with her middle name. I'm glad we made that call, since I'm already a little sad that a name I loved so much didn't get used for a child that will get to actually use it, so I would be even more sad I we'd used both my favorite names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177409 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:38:38 +0000 youboots 2177409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But our big list is 20. Since my name and Ts name end with n, we won't use another name ending in n, so that takes a few off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177406 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:36:45 +0000 lovehoneybee 2177406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We retired most of our girl names. I either don't love them anymore or they won't work (like Evelyn...too close to Evan!)</p> <p>We didn't really have other boy names. Evans is a family name, and was going to be used somehow, it just ended up being what we could agree on. I think we've almost settled on a boy name this time...girl names will be harder to pare down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177378 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:22:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 2177378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: this is us too. We were both a little relieved in that we loved our girl name but we're meh on the boys. If we had loved it I think we would still be considering it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177359 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:06:41 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2177359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We came up with a new list for dd2 and when i compared it with the list for dd1, it was almost exactly the same. Maybe one or two differences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177358 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:05:33 +0000 78h2o 2177358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are still considering some "leftover" names, but also still looking. We only have about 2, maybe 3 weeks left, so hopefully we figure it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177357 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:03:25 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2177357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Would/will totally use the "leftover" names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177355 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:01:48 +0000 Jess1483 2177355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both LOs are boys, but our "back-up" name wasn't in the running this time. Some others may be the same, but we'd just kind of moved past the one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177353 Wed, 13 May 2015 18:00:03 +0000 Ra 2177353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our girl name for B was Camden "Cami" Rose. If we were to have another it would not be an option. Our good friends have a boy named Camden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177332 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:21:28 +0000 autumnlove 2177332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 2 was named off my list for LO 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177328 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:17:56 +0000 Ginabean3 2177328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, we had a whole two names on our list for LO #1 (two girl names, we knew she was a girl) and we used one of them. We are now pregnant with #2 (also a girl) but the second unused name I'm now "eh" about.....so back to the drawing board! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177325 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:16:29 +0000 Corduroy 2177325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have some names from LO1 on our list but DH says they all seem stale now. Too early (ha- 35 weeks) to tell if we will end up using one or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177323 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:15:12 +0000 PurplePeony 2177323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. We were Team Green and had one girl name and one boy name. After we had our daughter, DH said he was kind of relieved we had a girl because he had started to not like the boy name much anymore. I had never loved it but it was one of the only names we were both even okay with. So I think if we decide to have another kid, we'll be starting from scratch on names again, which is almost enough to make me want to be one and done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177317 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:09:02 +0000 Charm54 2177317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were TG with DD and we will reuse our boy name if this one is a boy. We are TG again so we had to come up with a second girls name. It wasn't one that was in the contention at all with DD, but I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177316 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:07:53 +0000 getjazzy 2177316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were TG with our first and had a boy, we decided to find out this time and it's a girl. Our name options for girls for our first pregnancy are on the table again this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-list-of-potential-names-for-lo-1#post-2177315 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:05:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2177315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will you pull from that list for future LOs? </p> <p>We were team green, had one girl name, and two potential boy names but didn't totally love either boy name. After our daughter was born, we both pretty much decided those boy names were out. </p> <p>Now #2 is on the way and it's back to the name drawing board! This time we will find out the sex so at least we only have to come up with one. </p> <p>I know other people who were TG and kept the opposite sex name for the next one. </p>
