Hellobee Boards

We didn't have any boy names picked out, but we jokingly said that we would name our future son "Jean Claude Van ____ (our last name that sounds like Damme)." As for girl names, I loved the name Ella for Ella Fitzgerald. Too bad it has gotten so popular over the years.

@ ChopSuey - Warner makes me think of Legally Blond!

We have Timothy James and Michael Scott for our boys when they happen. For a girl we have Amelia Marie. The boys' names are based off of Hubs' dad and brother (bro passed away) and my mom's maiden. The girls name is just a name we like.

@Maisymay I know! Too bad the Warner in Legally Blond was such a douche. HAh.

I have an ongoing list of names I like. I really want to avoid a popular name, so I don't want to decide on a name and have it become too popular by the time I have a baby. I hope once I'm pregnant we will decide on a name earlier on in the pregnancy.

The names I've had picked out FOREVER have climbed to the top of the Most Popular Baby Names list and I hate it.

We had names picked out way before we starting TTC. But when it came down to it, we never chose the names on our list.

For a boy Jeremiah is pretty definite for us. Our top two girl names are Aubrey and Hannah. Who knows if that will change though!

We're 99% sure on a boy's name, Ethan. We like Sophie for a girl's name, but I have an ongoing list that changes monthly. Good thing we are just prepping for TTC

We've had a girl name picked out since before we got married. Of course, we found out today that we're having a boy... We're thrilled, but having a hard time coming up with a name that we love that isn't too common, but isn't weird either.

We're TTC and our name list changes pretty frequently. Anything that ends with an -n is out because our last name ends with an -n and it just seems like a mouthful. All the names I love end with an -n though so I might end up changing my mind.

We're pretty partial to more traditional sounding names for both boys and girls. For a boy we want something very rugged and manly and husband wants it to be kind of western/cowboy sounding. We like Wyatt a lot. I also love, love, love the name Nixon but that pesky n gets in the way. Middle name will be Wayne because husband, his dad, grandpa, great gpa, etc. all have that middle name.

Girls: More all over the place here. My maiden name is Harper and I've always wanted that before it became popular to use your maiden name and before Harper became popular. Now, I don't want it anymore. We're leaning toward something like Charlotte or Nora or Ruby with the middle name being Louise after my grandma.

We started looking at names as soon as we found out I was pregnant. We are both picky, and have conflicting taste when it comes to naming style, so I knew it'd be a challenge. We've got one for a girl, and one for a boy, so far that we both agree on. We're still looking though. I'm terrified we will see our baby and only have one name picked out, and it won't "fit"!

We're not even TTCing yet, but we've talked names. I think we have a boys name figured out 100%, but the girl's name is in flux. I had one picked out that we had both agreed on, but it's actually the same name as one of my husband's cousins, so I'm now thinking I don't want to use it. I think I have a new name picked out, but haven't figured out a middle name to go with it! The boy's middle name was easy because my husband's family has a tradition of giving the same middle name to all the first sons, so we'll use that too for our first son.

Don't think I'm nuts, but we have five full girls names and five full boys names picked out, and have since before we were even married. I know it sounds insane, but that's kind of how we approach everything in life - research and planning - way before it's needed. On the bright side, it's one less thing to argue about when we're pregnant! We'll wait till we see our LO before we decide which of the five names for their gender fits them the best.

I've had the girl name "Audrey" picked out for years and years (and I'm not even TTC yet). I know many people don't often share their potential baby names to people because they don't want people to be commenting on the names. However, I have been telling my friends for a while because I don't want anyone else to "steal" it, HAHA.

We are stumped on boys names though... we came across the name "Grayson" yesterday (there was a chef on Top Chef named Grayson, albeit a female chef), and we kind of liked the sound of it!

We really like the names Henry and Charlotte but we'll see what ends up happening. I'm a lot more in love with our boy name because I think that calling him Hank would be adorable.

@jbhops I say you name your baby boy Jack! That's too cute. My husband was dead set against giving our daughter a middle name, but after seeing me go through labor, he was literally putty in my hands. He let me have whatever I wanted the first 24 hours after my baby was born.

We picked out names when I was pregnant the first time, but I miscarried before we found out the gender. Since we were never able to name that baby, I felt ok using the names for our lo. If it was a boy it would be Jack Isaac after hubby's grandpa and my greatgrandpa, and our girls name was Rose Helen, for our greatgrandmas. Yes, I know they're Titanic names.

It was a girl, so if we have a boy next we'll use Jack. We haven't agreed on a girls name. I'll worry about it when I get pregnant, not before.
