Picking Name for Baby #2 - Boy & Girl Ideas Welcome!

[cat]

Congratulations!!

I have two boys, Ethan Joseph and Evan Andrew. Ethan will be 5 in October and Evan will be 2 in April.

(Kristin, same here!! When we picked the name Ethan, we didn't know any others. NOW we know 4 other Ethans (all younger than mine)!! Evan is also getting pretty popular too!!)

I am pregnant with baby #5.

We are THINKING about trying for #3!

 

[Bexs50]

I don't have kids yet but the girl's names I like are Brielle and Aubrey and for boy's names I like Kayden and Kalob.

 

[ChefJoeCool]

I have a Joseph (Joe) Michael and an Abigail (Abbey, like the road) Claire. Girl names are way more fun than boy names...espeically with our last name of Niklas...the boy always ends up with 3 first names!

I also love: Samuel, Molly, Clara, Bethany (that is beautiful)...boy names that are the older names: Gus (my father-in-law), William (my dad, too), Leo...I love strong boy names.

 

[SilverCeladon]

Mine are Gage Garand and Camille Caprice. I also love the names Quinn and Jack for boys and Chloe, Genevieve, and Ivy for girls.

 

[apriljc]

My boys names are Mason Dean and Andrew Lawrence. I think picking out a name that you and your significant other can agree on is the hardest thing. We are done having kids but if we would of had a girl it would have been Jaime Elizabeth.

37 weeks!

That's a good day to have a baby... It's my birthday. But then again, you're probably hoping to go a little sooner than that!

I have had my first three at 37 weeks and my youngest at 36 weeks 6 days. Although my doctor for my third child stretched me out during an examination and that caused my water to break. It wasn't natural and so they had to give me that dreaded potosin. It made my labor hard and longer than it should have been. I don't have that doctor anymore!!

I heard that the more children you have the faster the delivery and labor. Well that does seem true for me. Considering my oldest took 11 hours and my youngest took about 4 hours.
By the seventh child we should be driving by the hospital each day in my last month just in case!!

Debbie

 

[gilliandanielle]

I hope that is true about each coming faster!! My first was 43 hours (induced with pitocin, uggg!) at 36 weeks 4 days and my second was 11 hours at 37 weeks!

Maybe you can just move into the hospital the last month by the time you get to seven!!

 

[PamperedBrandy]

I have 2 girls, Brooklynne Elizabeth and Kaelyn Michelle. We're not planning any more, but if K was a boy, she was going to be Connor Henderson (after DH's dad)

 

[Brigitte]

My two year old niece is Zaryn Lane (Lane after my father's middle name, my middle name being Elane after the same and a friend of the family named her son Evan Lane nearly twenty years ago) Evan is becoming very popular but still one of my favorites.
I do not have children but some of my favorite names are Illeanna, Audrey(great-grandmother), Aeryn, Addison, Travis, Sam, Simon.
Some of my friends that have recently had children have named them:
Jason James
Sarah Jane
Marleen (Marlee) Nicole

Congratulations to all the mothers to be!

Charlene,

I'm so sorry to read about your loss. I have a four year old son and just couldn't imagine.

My 2 are Matthew James and Aaron Daniel. Matthew was my maiden name, actually if you add an "S" to the end of it, and my DH and my brother are both James. Aaron is a name that both my DH and I really liked and Daniel is for my father. The only names that we have ever had pick out were the middle names. I have always had the baby before picking a name out. With Aaron we went thru the 5 names on our list before deciding that he looked like an Aaron.

Charlene,

I'm so sorry to read about your loss. I have a four year old son and just couldn't imagine.

Diane

Thanks Diane.

My son Jason was born with multiple heart defects. We were blessed to have him with us for as long as we did. All our other children and grandchildren have had no heart problems.

[Koolotus]

Congrats!
You too debbie!
I have three
Brinna lynne
Melody Star
Calvin Thomas
I thought my Calvin was going to be a girl and I would have named her Piper
I have a hard time picking out names too. They are stuck with our choice forever...good or bad.
My oldest daughter thinks she and her siblings are destined to take over the world...
They all have 6 letters in their first names , they were all born on the 16th of the month and they were all born in a J month....January, June and July!
Very freaky, not planned but cool for them, especially when they are little

 

[jaye]

I have two boys, Jacob Daniel (9) and Ryan Thomas (<1).

Jacob's name was picked out when I was just a 14, I loved that name. Then when we had him, it shot up to #1 on the charts, and hadn't even been on the charts the year before that.

I never wanted to do that to my kids, because I was a "Jennifer" growing up in the '80's! OMgoodness... too many of those! So, lo and behold, I name a Jacob and there were SEVEN Jacobs born the same day in the same hospital!! Unbelievable!

Then when choosing Ryan's name... I just couldn't find one that I liked, that was it for me.

My hubby and I are deciding whether to have one more child, boy names we have NO idea, but for a girl I love;

Alexa
Gianna
Erica

But, with my luck now that I have girl names all ready to go, I would end up with another boy!

Good luck!! Best wishes to all the mommies to be! Wish you well!!
Jaye

[cookinthehouse]

I am enjoying this thread - I am due in 8wks, and we're still arguing about names! I have a 3yo daughter named Molly Jean - Molly for Mary, her great grandmother, and Jean, for the other great grandma, and it's my middle name, too. I wanted to name her Soledad, and call her Sunny, but DH's last name is long and polish, and he wanted something easy for her...

For this new one - a boy would be Theodore (Teddy) or Noah.
A girl - currently we like Margaret (maggie) and Zoe.

Funny story - I kept my maiden name, Grady. The other night, my husband and I had a revelation about a girl's name - we loved Grey. We were so excited - finally, we agree! Then, when I was trying to fall asleep, I pointed out that we could name her Grey Diana and then she'd be Grey D., like my last name. DH is not fond of puns, so he's crabby now, but I think it's hilarious!

Good luck to all you with new impending babies!

I like that idea. Sheesh, what does he know? LOL

 

[jrstephens]

My son's name is Russell Luke and we call him Luke.

If we have a girl when we ever try for the 2nd we are going to name her Heather Callie. I want to call her Callie and my husband wants to cal her Heather.

Of course we were certain on a boy name and then when we got pregnant we change it. It was going to be Randall Austin. I had a brother that was killed in a car wreck when I was 5 and his first name was Randall. I decided against naming our son that b/c there was a guy in high school that I "chased" for years that was named Randall and I did not want people to think I was naming my son after him! My brother was called Scotty but my brother had already used that name for one of his kids.

 

[mbkraese]

My boys names are Mason Dean and Andrew Lawrence. I think picking out a name that you and your significant other can agree on is the hardest thing. We are done having kids but if we would of had a girl it would have been Jaime Elizabeth.

I had my 3rd boy October 2nd, 2006 (2nd child since signing on as a pc consultant). His name is Colton David... If he was a girl he would have been Addison Sarah

His big brothers are:
Mason Phillip (8)
Gunnar John (3)

If they were girls I would've chosen Madison Elizabeth but Madison became so popular were I am ... I decided to switch it around a bit... but needless to say I was only blessed with boys and the only unfortunate part is that my husband will never have his "daddy's little girl".... but we are very happy.... even though he won't let me have anymore
anyway

 

[luvs2sellit]

My sons are Hunter Gant(12) and Cooper Durand (8)
