We've decided we're going to wait until birth and see what fits him. Then we won't stress out so much in the next two(ish) weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2167850 Tue, 05 May 2015 13:54:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2167850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know my bias ;) However, Leo and Luca were high on my list too. Ultimately, we settled on the flexibility of Theodore-- so many options for finding a nn that fits your little dude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2167844 Tue, 05 May 2015 13:51:39 +0000 illumina 2167844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>William. If it wasn't my Dad's name I'd use it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2167779 Tue, 05 May 2015 13:26:03 +0000 autumnleaves 2167779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love all of your ideas too! Though it's stressful now, it may be fun to decide after your LO arrives what name is best for him :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2167478 Tue, 05 May 2015 10:25:07 +0000 lamariniere 2167478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them all! I voted Theodore, but the choice was tough! I prefer using the full name William to Liam. </p> <p>@hilsy85: our boys share the same MN. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2167213 Tue, 05 May 2015 08:14:43 +0000 Anya 2167213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of Liam personally. I like the idea of Henry Theodore- Henry and Teddy are both cute with Lyla too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166692 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:44:22 +0000 wrkbrk 2166692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: Theo, William, and Henry were on our list as well! Theo is my FAVE and if it helps mesh with your last name - people have described it as a softer sound. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166672 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:31:05 +0000 SeptMomma12 2166672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you can go wrong with any of those names - including Teddy! - but I really love Henry. One of my best friends is married to a Teddy and I've never thought it was an odd name for an adult.</p> <p>I also love Liam, but I'm not sure I love it with Lyla. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166650 Mon, 04 May 2015 15:10:15 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 2166650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you guys! And it's actually refreshing to see a variety of responses because it makes me feel like we can't go wrong in any direction. I think we'll know for sure when he comes, but this takes some pressure off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166437 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:58:06 +0000 littlejoy 2166437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE Luca!!! I actually really, really love "Theo", too. Henry is beautiful, just a bit popular right now. Leo is really cute. William is a bit traditional, but I LOVE Liam. You have some REALLY solid names here!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166414 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:42:34 +0000 NovBaby1112 2166414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love all of your names! I LOVE Luca, so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166391 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:27:38 +0000 nana87 2166391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE Theodore! It was dh's uncle's name, so it's on my radar of names to use. I love the nn Teddy, but not Ted, so that's my only hesitation about using it for if we ever have a boy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166359 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:17:10 +0000 lawbee11 2166359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Henry. I like Leo and Luca, but your daughter has an L name so not of fan of those together (though I know some people like that). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166357 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:14:51 +0000 Smurfette 2166357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Henry!</p> <p>Not a fan of Theodore. I think Liam is way to popular now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166347 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:10:04 +0000 Mamasig 2166347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Leo because that is what I have (short for Leonardo after my grandfather). Henry then William are my next two favorites. I'm not a big fan of Luca - can feel girly to me for some reason and Theo (still think of the annoying guy from Louisiana on Road Rules).<br /> Eta - Teddy is cute as a child but I wouldn't like it as he got older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166337 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:06:59 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2166337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Henry is one of my absolute favorite names that DH vetoed. Terribly upset about it! I love seeing little baby Henry's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166328 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:04:27 +0000 sapphire 2166328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Liam as a nickname for William is great! But go with your gut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166322 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:03:04 +0000 CakeLady 2166322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: I totally understand! We thought we picked a fairly uncommon name for DS and I think it might end up being pretty popular. You should just pick the name that you love - if Theodore has been on your list for a long time and you still love it, then just do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166294 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:55:28 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 2166294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: I think that's why I'm struggling so much! I really don't want to pick "the popular" names, but at the same time, Lyla was down in the 100's on popularity when we named her 2 years ago, and now I know 3! So, it seems like I can't really win either way. We actually don't know any Theodore's, but I see it climbing so I'm sure we will soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166288 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:54:16 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 2166288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: haha thanks! Seems we have similar taste! I don't know how I feel yet about two L names, though I've thought about it a bit. We are considering naming him Henry Theodore and still calling him Teddy, because I agree Lyla and Teddy is just so cute together. Oh, also, is your Leo just Leo? I don't really love any of the longer versions of the name but have wondered if it's too short? </p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: Thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166287 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:54:13 +0000 CakeLady 2166287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Luca and Leo! I tend to prefer less common names and I know lots of babies named Henry, Theodore/Teddy, and William/Liam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166280 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:52:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2166280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Henry or Luca - but Leo is equally cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166276 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:51:47 +0000 hilsy85 2166276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is Leo, so I am biased. He is actually Leo Henry! I love Theodore (Theo or Teddy) as well. Luca is also one of my faves...you have great taste!</p> <p>ETA for me personally, I didn't want 2 L names, so I would do Theodore--I think Lyla and Teddy sounds super cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please-1#post-2166261 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:46:12 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 2166261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were so close to being settled on a name! But then we both just realized it may not be it. We were settled on Theodore (nn Teddy, or possibly Theo). I'm due in 2 weeks and a bit stressed that we aren't settled on a name yet! So, I thought I would solicit some HB feedback. </p> <p>DD's name is Lyla and our last name is a shorter, but somewhat "harsh" last name that is hard to pair first names with (sorry so vague). </p> <p>Below are some names we are considering. What do you think, and any other options we should add? </p>
