His name is Dexter and the girl cat is Minny. My husband named them both. lovehoneybee on "If you have two kids, do you prefer one child's name over the other?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-kids-do-you-prefer-one-childs-name-over-the-other#post-427436 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 23:26:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 427436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We only have the one but I will say I loved every name on our girl shortlist more than DS's name, so if we have a girl in the future I'll like her name more.

I love it too though because it's not too common, not hard to spell or pronounce, and it's girlie without being too off-the-wall. So I have to say I like both names equally, but just for different reasons. cyndistar3 on "If you have two kids, do you prefer one child's name over the other?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-kids-do-you-prefer-one-childs-name-over-the-other#post-427364 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 22:21:19 +0000 cyndistar3 427364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I actually think I like both equally! Though I hope we have a boy next because I doubt we will come up with another name we like as much as Caidence and Lillian.

I think both their names suit them well and I love each of their names the same! sera_87 on "If you have two kids, do you prefer one child's name over the other?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-kids-do-you-prefer-one-childs-name-over-the-other#post-427191 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 19:25:42 +0000 sera_87 427191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Pen: well I wouldn't have agreed to anything too outlandish (DH likes to joke our next one will be named something silly like PopShbaz *roll eyes*) and we did agree to give him my middle name, so that helped :) sunny on "If you have two kids, do you prefer one child's name over the other?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-kids-do-you-prefer-one-childs-name-over-the-other#post-427010 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 16:01:52 +0000 sunny 427010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We had a hard time deciding between our favorite names for LO so I think we'll use the other ones if LO#2 is a girl. I hope she doesn't think she got the "leftovers" though! autumnlove on "If you have two kids, do you prefer one child's name over the other?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-kids-do-you-prefer-one-childs-name-over-the-other#post-426993 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 15:37:26 +0000 autumnlove 426993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love my LO's name and I don't think we can think of a good name for baby 2. :-( Rainbow Sprinkles on "If you have two kids, do you prefer one child's name over the other?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-kids-do-you-prefer-one-childs-name-over-the-other#post-426981 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 15:24:47 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 426981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I can't imagine ever coming up with a name that I like as much as my LO's.

DH picked both our kids' names but I like more girls' names than boys' names anyway, so that might be it.

Suits some people I'm sure but not me. I never would have trusted that to him. You were brave. I don't have two kids, but I LOVE my sons name. I did come up with it too! But the names we have chosen for a future DD are AMAZING and I love them just as much. However if we have a boy next, I don't think I can top my sons name.

I'm glad we had a boy first because we had 2 good boy names & 1 good girl's name. So no matter what gender 2nd LO is we've got names! sera_87 on "If you have two kids, do you prefer one child's name over the other?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-kids-do-you-prefer-one-childs-name-over-the-other#post-426404 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 23:21:43 +0000 sera_87 426404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ this is going to sound awful, but yes (once another one comes along). Mainly because DH got to pick his name, and I'm not too fussed about it. All other children I get to name - that was our deal :) chopsuey on "If you have two kids, do you prefer one child's name over the other?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-kids-do-you-prefer-one-childs-name-over-the-other#post-426367 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 22:58:18 +0000 chopsuey 426367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We still haven't decided on a name for DS. I really like my lo's name.. Not sure if we can find a boy name that we like as much!

Charlie is a great name and it suits him, but it is pretty popular. Plus I'm the one that came up with Olive. ;) If you have two kids, do you prefer one name over the other?
