    @KelLeeLeee: I *loved* Connor, but it's my BIL's oldest son's name, so it didn't even make the list

    I have a few I love, but at the moment I would opt for Harvey Joseph Daigh (two middle names, after family).

    Our faves are:
    Harvey
    Lawrence
    Denver
    Rory

    We used my two favorites for DS. But in the unlikely event we had another boy, probably something classic like Alexander.

    @Elderberrygin: I love it too! We considered it for our DD, but decided against it once we saw her.

    @Mae: coincidentally I have a friend who is Alexander James IV (and has a son who is a V) and a completely unrelated friend who has also used that combo of names. Really strong sounding names!

    We just used our boy name on our one month old son, but other names we have liked have been Lukas, Elijah, Justus and Blake. We'd go with Jaden and Keith as middle names to honour particular people.

    I really like Conner Smith(family name). No clue what DH would vote for.

    If I had to choose, I'd say Owen and my maiden name. I don't think DH is sold on Owen though.

    We have had a girls name picked out since prior to being married!! Boy middle names are decided and we have a short list of first names - Xander ( DH fav but as a teacher I have issues with names of some previous students, this is one!) Blake, and Carson. Middle names are very traditional English names after relatives.

    @bushelandapeck: yes! Except we will probably do two middle names with my maiden as the second. DH doesn't love the name and he is also concerned that he knows my brother likes it.

  26. bushelandapeck

    pomelo / 5720 posts

    @AmeliaBedilia: The only problem is that my maiden name starts with an O so Owen O might be too much....

    I have no idea. It was so difficult coming up with T's name. I don't feel like we'll ever fall in love with another boy name as much as we did with T. Hopefully we have girls next!

    If DD was a boy we were going to use Cole and I still love that name!!

  29. looch

    Peter. Not sure about the middle name.

    If my husband didnt have input I like Barrett, Sutton, or Xavier currently. Asher and Jasper too are nice.

    I would probably use Barrett Karl (after my dad)

    As it is if we have another boy he will be Rex Karl William (both dads)

    Right now, the only boy name we seem to agree on is Luke.

  32. hotchildinthecity

    nectarine / 2272 posts

    Colby. But since we're adopting, we'll probably either keep the name they have or see what they "look" like. I think you have to look like your name, if that makes any sense

    @twodoghouse: loooove the name Blake. It's my #1 boy name. My husband hates it

    I'm stalking this thread because our anatomy scan is soon, and we still don't agree on boy names!

    My husband is 100% pulling for the name Adrian (named after Adrian Peterson--sigh) if we ever have a boy. I hated it at first but am coming around. My dad's names was James, so Adrian James with our last name sounds pretty good. BUT, it doesn't really go with our other LO's name and DH wants a middle name from his language (but I maintain that he doesn't get to pick both names, so if he gets Adrian, I get whatever middle name I want).

    When we were considering names that are somewhat common in his culture/language and not too bad in English, we though of Keiran. But one of his close friends is named Kiran (pronounced the same), so it's kind of awkward.

    Boy names are hard and dealing with another culture/language makes it so much harder!

    @Mrs. Chocolate: if C had been a boy she probably would have been Xavier. That's the one we were most set on, like on the way to the hospital going, "so, Xavier? Yeah? Is that it?"

    After reading this I'm loving Noah, plus I love Xander (nn for Alexander) but Dh vetoed it. Also really like Lucas but worried it's too popular.

    @Mrs. Jump Rope: Blake was one of the only boy names we could agree on!

    @farawayviolet: That's funny, my sister has a son named Lachlan and right now Oliver is her first choice for #2 (she's 7 mo pregnant). I think Everett is on her list as well!

    I remembered that I still had my list of baby names saved on my phone from when I was pregnant with LO.

    These were our top contenders, had she been a boy:

    Andrew
    William (Will)
    Conner
    Calder
    Lawsen
    Brent
    Jake
    Trent
    Gage
    Collin

    @twodoghouse: he likes Colin but I don't love it the way I loved Chloe's name when he suggested it.
