We had a terrible time agreeing on a girl name until we went with K. I also really loved Elise, Claire, Eloise. All of DHs choices started with a J.</p> <p>For #2, we had agreed on Milena (Mila and Lena for nicknames) if it were a girl. Other boy choice was Declan. I guess its not set in stone till he's here, but we're going with another K name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/3#post-2155247 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 01:23:59 +0000 lemondrop 2155247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 could have been Colin, Calvin, or Connor.</p> <p>#2 could have been Ethan, Harrison or Nolan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/3#post-2155137 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 21:40:45 +0000 sandy 2155137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 - Sophia and Evelyn </p> <p>DD2 - Quinn and Isla </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/2#post-2154941 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:57:59 +0000 catlady 2154941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she was a boy, I think she would have been Theodore. </p> <p>We didn't have any other serious girl name contenders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/2#post-2154940 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 19:57:56 +0000 PinkElephant 2154940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 - her "H" name or Hannah<br /> Dd2- really just her name...we put Hannah on the list but probably wouldn't have used it; I wanted to start fresh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/2#post-2154789 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 18:38:46 +0000 LovelyPlum 2154789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If LO were a boy, she would have been Xavier Ambrose.

Nora for girl and Wyatt for a boy. Other contenders for a girl were Luna and Cora - I can't remember the rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/2#post-2143203 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 09:19:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2143203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: that's my maiden name so naturally I LOVE it!

I'm amazed DH agreed since it's not his style at all. </p> <p>For Leah our second choice was Natalie but Brooke and Aubrey were on the list, though they didn't go with J as well in our opinions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/2#post-2143019 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:47:55 +0000 MoreCoffee 2143019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is Liam as a nod to my FIL William. We dragged our feet a little due to its popularity and strongly considered Ian and Graeme, but I think he was always a Liam. </p> <p>A lot of us have similar tastes - if we have another DS we are nearly positive he'll be Dylan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/2#post-2143016 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:45:09 +0000 lady grey 2143016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was almost Oliver. If he was a girl then Hazel. the next one will prob be Luca or Hazel (family name that I really want to use!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/2#post-2143000 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:34:27 +0000 illumina 2143000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S was almost Rose. We referred to her as Rose ever since we found out she was a girl and then started to waiver about a month before she was due. We couldn't think of a good middle name to go with it and I was convinced it didn't sound good with our last name...so it would need to be longer, like Rosalie, but wasn't as keen. Her middle name is Rose though because we loved it so much.</p> <p>If she were a boy, he would have been Dylan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/2#post-2142984 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:21:37 +0000 sumer08 2142984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love city names for girls, so our final list for baby #2 was:</p> <p>Siena<br /> Savannah</p> <p>BUT, we chose London. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-almost-your-kids-names/page/2#post-2142980 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 07:19:30 +0000 yin 2142980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 could have been a Henry, and LO2 could have been Calvin, Walter, or Theodore.
