With DS his name was pretty much set in stone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-landed-on-the-cutting-room-floor/page/2#post-2395224 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 20:34:17 +0000 petunia354 2395224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ruled out everett, noah, Eleanor and colette. We'd probably consider using noah, Eleanor, or colette in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-landed-on-the-cutting-room-floor/page/2#post-2395216 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 20:09:11 +0000 BandDmommy 2395216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We turned down Camden and Cameron. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-landed-on-the-cutting-room-floor/page/2#post-2395210 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 20:00:45 +0000 travellingbee 2395210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We considered Thomas and Ryan for Ds1 but not for DS 2.

We are pretty settled on Claire. </p> <p>For boys names, Colton was our #2, but Weston always felt right to us. We'll see what this LO ends up being! Most of those names are still on the table for future LOs, although I'm hesitant about Lola and DH isn't a big fan of Lydia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-landed-on-the-cutting-room-floor/page/2#post-2394857 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 01:10:38 +0000 HLK208 2394857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was almost Jack or Landon.</p> <p>DD didn't really have other possible names.

I'm not actually as in love with it as a I was before so I don't think we'll use it but I'm not sure! Especially not because there's a princess and our middle name choice for a girl is Ellisabeth, which is a play on FIL's middle name!</p> <p>We tossed around Emmerson, Amelia and Ella, husband completely veto'd those so we probably won't use them this time either </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-landed-on-the-cutting-room-floor/page/2#post-2394547 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 11:22:52 +0000 farawayyama 2394547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Harriet, Harrison and Clara don't go at all with DH/DD's last name</p> <p>Marceline was our runner up for DD but I'm not a fan for a future LO</p> <p>Eli and Elodie are our fronteunners for a future LO.

We now have (I think) a name we prefer, and will probably use if LO 2 is a girl. I wouldn't rule out Josephine for this one, or a hypothetical next one, either.<br /> I thought it was trendy at the time, but haven't actually met a lot of kids with that name, so maybe I was wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-landed-on-the-cutting-room-floor/page/2#post-2394237 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:17:23 +0000 lady baltimore 2394237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Annika was our front-runner for a while, but DH and I couldn't agree on the pronunciation (he rhymes it with Monica, I rhyme it with Danica). That disqualifies it for any hypothetical future LO as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-landed-on-the-cutting-room-floor/page/2#post-2394225 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:10:29 +0000 FaithFertility 2394225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sapphire: Same boat DD's name we had for ages!!! If future LO is a boy we are OK as he will be a Jr.<br /> Another DD who knows?! lol </p>
