Mr. Bee liked Jack before Charlie, and after we had Charlie he fell in love with the name Milo. I was just really stumped when it came to boy names and let Mr Bee decide.
For Olive Mr. Bee really liked Ella. It's a beautiful name, but I wanted something a little less common. I actually came up with Olive, but was considering Billie for awhile! (Charlie has two jazz names, hence Ella and Billie).
What was your second runner up for your LO's name?

Second runner up was Asher but I couldn't get the main character from Pokemon out of my head, lol. So we have Wesley Glenn!

I wanted to name LO Wyatt but DH didn't like it. I love it! I think LO looks more like a Wyatt too. Levi was also a contender for me.

Mr jacks really wanted to name Maisie Zenobia. I love it, but it's a really big name. I loved the nickname Zen dearly though!

@Sweet T: I love the name Wyatt! But DH has a cousin who's only 5 years old named Wyatt, so that wouldn't have worked for us.

The name Harrison was in the running until my doctor announced We had a girl (we were Team Green).
Our girl runner up names were Allison and Alexandra
The funny thing is I don't know if we would use any of those names the next time around.

Runner up was "Audrey" (it became LO's middle name). After that, I liked Claire or Clara

Our runner up was James and if we had decided to use an American middle name, Wagon Jr would actually be RJ! (stands for Robert Junior, but his middle name is his korean name which starts with an S, so he's actually RS). I sometimes regret not choosing the American middle name (Robert James just sounds so cool and classic) but both Wagon Sr. and I have korean middle names and we wanted to stay consistent with the whole family.

Sophia but we nixed it because it's just WAY too popular!

We were pretty set on our daughter's name and never seriously considered any other options. There were others I liked but my husband's heart was already set on Nora. My backups were Clara, Ruby, and Harper. For boys our number 1 was Luke with Wyatt as a backup.

Mia. We love it and will probably use it if we have another girl.

Lily. But I plan to use it for our second girl. Hubs loved Ella as well, but I know too many people with "El" nicknames.

We didn't have one. We picked a boy and girl and were done.

Jarrett was what we were initially deciding on. Cooper was supposed to be his middle name, but I started to like it more as a first name. I love his name now! Cooper Austin *insert badass last name*

@Navy_Mommy: I would have been singing brimful of Asher on the 45 all the time if we named our kid Asher. 
It's a lovely name, though.
Hops really wanted to call our daughter Emily but, it's SO popular, I nixed it. I think it's a beautiful name, as well but I don't want her to be the Jennifer of my generation! (no offense to all those Jennifers of the late 70's out there!)

I'm still pregnant (33 weeks tomorrow!) but DH veto'd my favorite boy name Chase and I veto'd his favorite Jackson/Jaxon.

I'm also still pregnant (almost 15 weeks) our second contender for a boy is Easton, it was number one until a friend used it for their little girl a couple weeks ago. Luckily we loved out other boy name just as much so we will use that one.
Girl, we are still torn between Emerson and Lynden, but I think we will be going with Emerson. DH vetoed my 2 favorites of Everleigh & Elody & I vetoed Kendall & Gracie.

For our first we picked one boy name and one girl name; we had a girl and we're not sure if we'll use the boy name with the next (currently 17weeks pregnant) but since we're team green we have to come up with at least another girl's name.

We kinda liked Beatrix, but so glad we didn't name LO that! It totally doesn't fit her!
