Our current choices are Audrey Josephine or Caroline Josephine (Caroline is winning!

Maybe I read too much Archie?</p> <p>Also Abigail. Still love it, but the popularity turns me off. That wouldn't be a no go for me, but I don't think DH likes it. My main problem with it now is I'm not that into Abby. And I think it's harder to control people giving your kids nicknames than we think! And what if she would prefer Abby? Nothing I can do then!</p> <p>For boys - James and Patrick. Still love love love James, but it sounds terrible with our last name. So so on Patrick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-you-liked-when-younger#post-1636276 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:04:17 +0000 catlady 1636276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a child, I desperately wanted a sister so I could name her Tiffany (as if my parents would have let me).</p> <p>I liked Lily alot as a teen. </p>
