Just curious, would you prefer just 'Franklin' or be okay with Frank, Frankie, etc? That's where I'm struggling a bit.

It feels crazy to have it done so early, but .... we followed our gut with Georgia and she is SUCH a Georgia, haha. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-current-top-5-names#post-2562323 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 01:27:00 +0000 Amorini 2562323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're TG and are going for a classic Italian or Old World name that would be mostly pronounced the same in Italian and English. (Half the family lives there, half lives here.) Sounds like it should narrow down the field but we're going in big circles with DH rejecting all of mine without offering too many in return. The names I love are too common for him (Leonardo) and sometimes vice versa (Sofia). However, recently I asked him to get his family's input (SO against common wisdom but in this case helpful) and they spontaneously offered many of my favorites... And now he likes a lot of the ones he rejected!!!</p> <p>So here's some of my (not necessarily our) favs from the ever-evolving list...</p> <p> :girl:<br /> Gemma<br /> Pietra<br /> Eliette<br /> Nova</p> <p>Middle name 'Emilia' (family name). It doesn't work with all of the above but at least something is decided on.</p> <p> :boy:<br /> Alessandro<br /> Luca</p> <p>Middle name 'Enrico' (family name). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-current-top-5-names#post-2562319 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 23:49:45 +0000 simplyfelicity 2562319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar: I can't wait I find out!

You have some great boy names. Sebastian has always been a favourite of mine. @thestairs: I hope you find some inspiration here! I think Sierra is a very beautiful name!<br /> @LindsayLou: hah I could have written exactly what you did. My girl name is ginormous! At least 4 times the size of my boy list. Why is it so hard to come up with boy names?!<br /> @MrsKoala: Natalie is our top runner. It's one that both DH and I agree on!<br /> @caterw: Your final choices are great! Can't wait to hear news from your scan!<br /> @lawbee11: I've always liked your name choices. We have similar taste. I love your DD's name and it was in my top 5 as of recently, but had to get bumped last week when my BFF named her daughter M!<br /> @Goldengirl: I hope you can find some ideas here! Do you have any favourites? If you like Ruby so much you can name DS Reuben. I actually know 3 Reubens! I much prefer Ruby though......<br /> @lady baltimore: I never see anyone else who loves Vanessa like we do! That's another fav of both DH and I!!<br /> @Mrs. Pen: your names are wonderful. The way you feel about Madeleine is how I feel about Sebastian. Just not digging the nickname.<br /> @MrsRcCar: how have you been able to come up with 3 boys names already?! :silly: It's so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-current-top-5-names#post-2562063 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 03:36:30 +0000 MrsRcCar 2562063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Team pink:<br /> Penelope (nn: Penny)<br /> Aurora<br /> Ava (family name)<br /> Pearl<br /> Luna</p> <p>Team blue:<br /> Theodore<br /> Henry<br /> Jacob<br /> Jasper<br /> Thomas</p> <p>I excluded our boys names.
