I wish I were joking. I have strongly vetoed it a million times but he won't stop bringing up, I think he really believes he might wear me down. Ha. Ha. Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1076243 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 11:11:01 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1076243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves Winston for a boy.</p> <p>For a girl he loves Hazel and Josie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1076224 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 11:01:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 1076224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Merlin Batman.</p> <p>Not even joking. </p> <p>His more serious name choices were Adam for a boy and Madeline Grace for a girl. I vetoed both, but his next girl choice of Amelia Grace was on our short list until LO came out a he.</p> <p>ETA : Also Grace Catherine. Now now Rory (for a boy) and William are on his boy list for the second child hypothetical he's so sure he doesn't want ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1076195 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:48:43 +0000 artsyfartsy 1076195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wants to name our son Archer because DH is a bow hunter. I said Nope. I like the name but everyone knows we are a bow family so it would be cheesy!!</p> <p>We both like the name we are going to name our son but if it was left up to DH he would be Archer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1076171 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:39:10 +0000 Anutka 1076171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH only wants girls, and really wants to name one Zelda.

For boys she wants to name him Noah after me (Noa) and she loved Isaac (what's with the I name fixation?) which I disliked at first but now has special meaning for me as it was our first hurricane we experienced together. Our names are decided but I'll put them on our extended list if for some reason we have 3... :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1076051 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:53:49 +0000 rattles 1076051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His top pick was Henry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1075983 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:30:58 +0000 autumnlove 1075983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Erika or Ethan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1075975 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 09:29:40 +0000 illumina 1075975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he would pick something like Hannah, Amelia, Lily or Olivia for a girl.

We picked the first name together (Cliff) and I gave him carte blanche for the middle name. He chose the middle name "Ryder" because it sounds like a SURFER name (he doesn't surf). True Story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1075880 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:54:25 +0000 bunnylove08 1075880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wanted to name our DD Leyna, I was on board for it for a while and then at the last minute I told him her name is the name we actually named her. I cried when he said we already agreed on the name and he caved and let me name her. She has Leyna as her middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1075878 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:54:08 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1075878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has said for years he wants the name Thor if it's a boy. I still can't tell if he's serious or not. I go back and forth on it. </p> <p>I just would hate to see what would happen if we go ahead and give a boy that name, then he turns out to be a tiny little thing! Talk about feeling like you're not living up to expectations! </p> <p>I do like Odin (Thor's father) perhaps a bit more. I think there was someone on here who recently named their son that?!</p> <p>At this point, if promising the Norse Gods that I would name my first born Thor would mean a bfp...I'd do it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1075873 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:51:51 +0000 MamaMoose 1075873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lily for a girl (was too popular for me) and Brock for a boy (which I just don't like at all). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1075866 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:49:35 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1075866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we have a boy, his name would be hubby's.

I don't want to discuss them until after we find out if it is a boy or girl, so we've had no serious discussions about it. But sometimes he brings it up and suggests things like Buck or Donald or Trixie (after his beloved deceased childhood cat, of course lol). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-so-could-name-your-lo-any-name-heshe-wanted-what-would-they-pick#post-1075786 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 08:24:00 +0000 MrsKoala 1075786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's picks are the number 1 choice for a boy and the number 2 choice for a girl.
