If LO had been a girl we had a short list to choose from after birth:
Rowan Elizabeth
Harlow Rose
Arden Catherine
What would your LOs name be if you had had the other gender?
You might also enjoy...
-
Teague Landon. Still wish we would get a chance to use it
-
We were pretty set on Benjamin Judah.....
I still like it, but Benjamin is sooo popular & he'd likely end up a Ben (which I do. not. want) so we're leaning toward Judah as a first name this time.
ETA: For G, I didn't have a girl name picked out at all b/c I couldn't find ANYthing I liked! I vowed to only search for one *if* they told me he was a girl! lol
-
We had these 3 on or short list when he was born:
Grace Catherine
Eleanor Grace
Amelia Grace -
DS: Cameron
DD: Theodore -
Henry James
-
Nora Elizabeth
-
Henry was our #1 boy name but its so popular now I'm not sure we would use it now
-
I love your naming style! Rowan was on our short list, and Arden... well duh. Awesomesauce.
Viviana Wren probably would have been Orin Reid or Rohan Kade.
-
Delaney grace or Beatrice ______
-
I liked Benjamin a lot.
-
Hadley Paige
-
@sera_87: I like delaney
-
@Mrs. Jacks: it's a family name
my mom told me I was *almost* a delaney myself.
-
@sera_87: it's fresh but does have a gravitas to it that makes it somewhat classic. Good family choice. I might have to put it on my very favorite list!
-
Eleanor
-
@Mrs. Jacks: lol feel free! I think it's a pretty awesome name (obvs)
-
@sera_87: we considered Delaney because I like the nn Lainey.
Andrew Edgar (Edgar after my grandfather)
Connor Thomas (Thomas after my Dad)
William Michael (Michael after my FIL) -
For a girl it would have been between Evangeline (unsure of mn) or Adelaide.... Possibly Gemma Cheryl (mn being a family name), but DH wasn't sold on that one.
-
Jude Timothy
-
No idea, thank goodness he's a boy because we couldn't really come up with girl names other than a middle name of Helen.
@Arden: +1 for the use of awesomesauce! One of my favorite words
-
She would have been Michael James. Michael is my mom's maiden and James is my FIL.
-
Luis Alexander
-
We couldn't agree on any boys names so I'm glad she is a girl!! Top of my boys list were Miles and Callum.
-
I wanted Adelaide. DH didn't. other than that we had no idea
-
Colton James
-
@sera_87: @Mrs. Jacks: I wanted to use Delaney as DD's nn, but everyone complained that it was too long and she just never seemed like a Delaney.. Her nn is (obs) Lainey.
-
I love that there were Rowan's on the list! I've only heard of one other IRL and he's a boy!
Pretty sure that if she had been a he, we would have landed on Joaquin. Still in our queue for next time.
-
Owen Matthew (Matthew after my uncle)
-
Mia Catherine McCarthy was the girl name but now Mia is just too popular.
-
No clue cause we didn't discuss names till we knew the gender.
-
Our short list was:
-Camden Rose (Cami)
-Irie Rose
-Elle Harper -
Dominic Lucas was the one that got the most play before we found out we were having a girl. Im not a huge fan anymore, so thank god we didnt have a boy!
-
Most likely Oliver. Not sure about a middle name though.
-
If we had a son we would have named him theodore. That was the only name DH and I agreed on
-
DH liked Emma. I liked Clementine, Audrey (best friends name), Iris.
Thank goodness we didn't need a girls name, we couldn't decide. -
Harper May or Clara May
-
Claire Elizabeth. I hope I can still use it someday. We also loved Emma.
-
We were team green, so DS would have been Nora Fair.
Both are family names. I really hope I get the chance to use it!
-
@grizz: omg Harlow is one of my favorite names!!
@HLK208: Cameron is adorable! We thought about that an Connor but w/our last name we decided nooooo
@rahlyrah: oh Camden rose sounds so sweet and feminine! (I like C names...darn our last name!)
If j had been a girl we would have named her Aubrey Ann or Brooke Elizabeth
