His first name was more or less decided by DH. This time around, it's more up to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids/page/2#post-2142123 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:59:53 +0000 petunia354 2142123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I came up with both! We were TG and had a boy name picked out, no middle name. We ended up using a different first name and middle name that I came up with on a whim in the hospital after he was born. Good thing we still love it :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids/page/2#post-2142089 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:25:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 2142089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I came up with both names. DD1 was the name I had picked out long before DH came along, it took some convincing to use. DD2 we had come up with 3 options, and I gave him the power to choose. He chose my favorite, I'm still not sure if that was the one he wanted or he knew I loved it so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids/page/2#post-2141945 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 10:54:02 +0000 CakeLady 2141945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH suggested his first name, his middle name is after my dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids/page/2#post-2141942 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 10:52:20 +0000 birdofafeather 2141942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH came up with the middle name first and then her first name was my front runner all along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids/page/2#post-2141795 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 09:09:02 +0000 bunnylove08 2141795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suggested her first, DH her middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141789 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 09:02:45 +0000 mrs. wagon 2141789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wagon Jr.: I suggested it (it's Wagon Sr.'s name). Paternal grandfather chose the middle/Korean name.</p> <p>LMW: I can't remember who suggested it since we had a huge, ongoing list. It was probably me though. Maternal grandparents chose the middle/Korean name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141764 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:47:06 +0000 Chillybear 2141764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had a boys name picked since about a year into our marriage (aka: way before we even TTC LO#1) Hubs came up with it and I loved it. Its a combo of our grandfather's names William Thomas (nn: Liam) and we'd definitely use it on a future LO if we have a boy. </p> <p>As for our Daughter, we had the hardest time with her name. Around 16wks, we were having breakfast throwing names around and Hubs vetoed everything I suggested and I hated the ones he threw out. Were in the car on the way home and a Fiona Apple song came on the radio and I suggested Fiona, we both really liked it so it went on the short list. At 20 weeks, we knew we were having a girl and i ended up in the hospital so i poured over the Social Security list, again hubs nixed most of my picks. I was really pulling for Audrey or Carmen (after my dad and grandfather). A few weeks later, Hubs said that if we went with Fiona I could have carte blanche with the middle name. I held on to the right to change my mind until the very last minute, but in the end we went with it and she shares my middle name. The struggle was real and I hope that when we have #2 its an easier process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141746 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:37:04 +0000 snowjewelz 2141746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH had first name, I had middle name, my mom came up with her Chinese name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141707 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:21:43 +0000 yellowbird 2141707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For dd, Dh suggested a name and I sort of tweaked it. I came up with her middle.</p> <p>For ds we had a super hard time deciding. I have always loved his first name so I suggested it. It took Dh a little while to come around but it just felt right. Dh came up with the middle on his own and I loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141704 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:20:01 +0000 mrsjyw 2141704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both did! DH came across it on a baby name list, and it was a name I had on my list from when I was younger! (A character from a show :P) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141703 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:17:02 +0000 Smurfette 2141703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I suggested her first name when we weren't even pregnant. Then once we found out it was a girl, I said what about R and he said sounds good to him. He found the middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141702 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:14:54 +0000 Mamaof2 2141702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suggested and he okayed them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141699 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:13:59 +0000 skipra 2141699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember who initially mentioned DS1 first name but DH decided on it between our final 2. I chose his middle name.<br /> I came up with DS2's name. We had it narrowed down to 2 first names and 1 middle name and when he was born I suggested completely different names that we ultimately went with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141659 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 07:51:56 +0000 Alivoo01 2141659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a way, DH did. I was eh about the name, but through a process of elimination because DH has so many friends with kids, this one came out unscathed. lol Makes me wonder if that's what we'll tell DS when he asks how we picked his name.... Not a cute story at all. Eek! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141620 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 07:08:38 +0000 Ajsmommy 2141620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH suggested DD's first name, middle name is my pick/family name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141613 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 06:57:37 +0000 purrpletulips 2141613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH suggested DD's middle name and I chose her first name. DH's family always has George as a name for boys and with both FIL and BIL being called George I required it be DS' middle name; I picked his first out of a short list DH and I compiled together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141597 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 06:32:53 +0000 lamariniere 2141597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked DS's name and my DH picked our DD's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141578 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 05:46:01 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2141578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as I found out what DHs grandfathers real name was, I said we need to name our first son that! That was probably 5-6 years before having our son. </p> <p>Middle name options were all family names. I ranked my top three and so did dh. His number 1 and my number 2 were the same so we went with that! (My Grans middle name which was her moms maiden name). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141568 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 04:39:37 +0000 AngelicOne 2141568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I came up with the first name (named after my Grandma's Dad) &amp; we were looking at a baby name website &amp; found the middle name together. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141552 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 02:00:04 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2141552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For LO coming in July, DH came up with his name! First and middle :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141494 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 21:44:05 +0000 808love 2141494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. Can't even remember who suggested because we just both kinda just knew it when we found both the middle and first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141462 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 20:52:13 +0000 Mae 2141462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH asked me to make the first list, both LO's first and middle are on the list. He picked out the middle name immediately from my list because it happens to be a family name for him (I didn't even know) and he really liked it. We worked together to get down to a top 3 names. He expressed his clear favorite at that point but said he'd be happy with any of them and I could ultimately decide. He felt more strongly than me so I differed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141448 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 20:36:00 +0000 GrapeCrush 2141448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS: we saw it in a naming book and DH loved it and I liked it. He refused to entertain other names, and I couldn't come up with anything that I liked more, so we named him that name. So it was both of us, but more DH since he wouldn't suggest anything else. I told him what middle name I liked and after a little hemming and hawing on his end he agreed on the name. </p> <p>DD: we both had a favorite name and decided that we would pick her first name after she was born and we saw her. We chose DHs choice. Again, I chose the middle name. This time with much less convincing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141434 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 20:17:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2141434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suggest, he hones my list. At the end we say the names over and over and change up order and try some stuff out. It's an iterative process.</p> <p>But I would say 85% of naming is me. So I give him lots of veto power. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141430 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 20:11:40 +0000 Dandelion 2141430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me for D's first and middle and M's first. DH suggested M's middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141386 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:25:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2141386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All are names that I suggested and DH loved. That's our system. I do the research and pick favorites, he does the naying and the yaying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141373 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:20:40 +0000 Mrs. Taco 2141373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I first suggested her first name (a wild card on a list of traditional names-he of course chose the one non traditional, Reese). The middle name was his favorite name choice, but we had to use the 'E' version rather than 'A' so that DDs initials wouldn't be RAT (which by the way he thought was NBD). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141370 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:19:13 +0000 Rubies 2141370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband named both of our daughters! There was a lot of kicking and screaming on my part... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-named-your-kids#post-2141363 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:12:41 +0000 erinpye 2141363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suggested DD1's first name, DH suggested DD2's. We selected both middle names together. </p>
