A few of y'all already know the sex, and hey there's no time like the present.
Have you started talking about names?
Second+ time moms, have you followed any particular theme with your kids' names? Will you continue?

We have names picked out already. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering why we decided not to pick the same girl's name we picked when I was pregnant with M. I may have to have a conversation with Mh about this.

**I will poof my kids' names at some point**
*poof*
So we obviously have a Texas theme going with first names. Middle names are MH's mn/my dad's fn and then my Fil's fn. If it is a boy, we will probably try to stick with the theme although I have no idea what we will use. It was very hard to come up with T's name so idk how we will do it again. Not sure what we will do for a mn...my brother is And.rew which I like but I don't know that I can convince my H to use another name from my family.
If it is a girl, we know we want Lay.la for the first name. I am bummed that it has become more popular but we like it enough to stick with it. Not sure about the middle name. I like Elizabeth after my grandma that passed away last year. She loved flowers so I was trying to think of something floral that went well with Lay.la but haven't come up with anything. I also like Grace. My mil already informed my H that if we don't name a girl after her she will be hurt since we used family names for the boys' mns. Luckily my H vetoed that before he even got off the phone with her because no.

We don’t have a theme with DS and DD’s names, and I’m really having a hard time coming up with new ones. It took forever for us to agree on DS’s name, and I’d picked DD’s way before we were even married.
The kids have come up with some, though... Girl: Muffin Girly Ally (as a nickname for Allison, it’s not that bad)
Boy: Police Officer (?) Billy - William is a family name, but we’re probably not going that direction.

**I will poof my kids' names at some point** Poof names My mil already informed my H that if we don't name a girl after her she will be hurt since we used family names for the boys' mns. Luckily my H vetoed that before he even got off the phone with her because no. Lol I went out of my way to avoid anything that sounded like MIL’s name because I’d hear about it until the end of time. As it happens my in-laws decided to look into their family tree and found someone with one of my kid’s names like 10 generations back and concocted some connection that way. Whatever.

My MIL is not my favorite person because of the way she has treated H and continues to treat him. Idk why she thinks that's even on our radar.

I'm in love with our top girl name, so I'm so excited we get to use it.
My DS is Za.ne
Our girl name is Za.ra (zar-rah) Ja.ne
Totally did not plan on another Z name initially. This wasnt even on our list last time we were pregnant. It's also a nod to my grandmother, who was Sa.ra Ja.ne which makes me love it even more!
DS wants to name this little one Baby Tiger 😂🤦♀️

My kids have no idea what they want to name a girl. For boys, their own names in different combinations, George, Luke, and star fish are the contenders.

Okay, so I’ve thought a little about names and all I can come up with is girl stuff. My kids are *poofed* (I feel weird typing that into the internet abyss and I’m pretty sure none of you know me IRL).
Holly Clara (an old family name) Vivian
Maybe Irene as a middle name (after my grandma and great grandma).
