Names?

It's been quite a while since we had one of these. Is anybody set on names? Are you sharing before birth or waiting? Names you love but you SO hates?

Since we found out the sex, it's officially Finn William! I told my parents (my dad says he's going to call him Billy lol) and will let everyone else know once the cat is out of the bag on the fact that he's a boy =)

we are going to be choosing between 2, which we aren't sharing before the birth. I love both names (maybe one ever so slightly than the other), but here's the deal - the one I love ever so slightly? her initials would be HEL. H thinks I'm overthinking this and no one is going to ever care/point it out. I told my neighbors the initials and one had an "oh shit" face after admitting that her son's initials were MFB (and no one has teased him yet - but he's only 10), and the other said it was no big deal.
thoughts? I joked with H that baby girl is getting a travel themed nursery and travel themed initials to go along with it (Helsinki airport).

I actually just told H over the weekend that we need to start talking about this again. We had one conversation on New Year’s Eve, crossed off pretty much the entire list and haven’t revisited it.
Even if we do figure it out before I’m in the hospital, we won’t tell anybody IRL.

It’s not an embarrassing combo, so I would think that if kids notice it at all, they would think it’s cool.

I’ve had a name since DD was born cause it was my back up. But I’m a bit torn on the middle name. I had one I really liked but DH does not. He suggested something else which I kind of like but I’m not sold on.
Any suggestions for a one syllable girls name? I’m all ears.

We're about 97% set on Emily Graham Lastname, with Graham being after my late grandpa that passed away about a year ago. I am 100% set on Graham as the middle name, but I'm not 100% sold on Emily yet.
Our older kids are Lucas Gabriel Salvatore Lastname and Adelyn Reese Lastname and I think Emily flows nicely with them, but again, not 100% (please DNQ, I'll probably edit/delete shortly).

I'm set on Lydia. H has had zero other ideas so I'm fairly sure she's Lydia. We cannot agree on a middle name though.
My favorite name of all time is Paige so I'm kind of pushing for Lydia Paige.
H's family usually does family names for the middle name though but all the female family names we like are also L's so it'd be Lydia Lee lastname which stars with L or Lydia Lynn last name with L making her LLL.

What vibe of name do you like? Traditional? Modern? Classic? Pretend?

This baby will have a less modern first name than DD, almost a bit hippy, so I would love to use something like Reese (so cool) as mentioned above but worried it’s too mismatched. I loved Mae, DH doesn’t.

jessila great list. DH’s favorite is there. I need to practice saying the two names together for a bit with different options to see what sticks. Thanks!

We have a middle name: Joan. For a close relative who passed away last year. I would use it as a first name but she has 2 teenage grandchildren who were super close to her and might want to use it.
First name, IDK. DH vetoed most of the names I liked in the only conversation we had about it. And suggested none himself. So 😒 I really like Fay, Sylvia, Sybil, Ramona, Tessa, Laurel, and Fiona. I think the only ones DH will consider are Fiona and Tessa.
We won’t tell anyone the first name IRL. We will tell the family the middle name in a couple months, so it’s not a surprise.

We are set on Margot although we won’t be sharing the name IRL before the birth.
We have to find a middle name though, I finally took the decision to add a MN for DD1 so better to do it from the beginning rather than doing the paperwork afterwards 😬

Great names, ladies. We are all over the map. Just when I think we have it narrowed down, we start all over.

We are narrowed down to Hattie Leigh Or Essie Leigh
Although, the more I sit on them the more I’m unsure. I’m trying not to think about them much anymore because i think i just need to meet her. Which is weird, with DS we just picked his name as soon as we found he was a boy and that was that. I’m such a planner type A person that it’s strange i don’t have a set name yet.
Other names in our top list were Tessa Paige
Sadie (my fav but DH vetoed)
DH fav was Harper but I said no.
A few others noteworthy were: Gentry Ellis Camille (Millie)

itsmemeg, I somehow missed the rest of your list. Obviously, I really choose Paige but I guess Hattie is a good second.

28 weeks and I still can't get DH to talk about it. I sent him my list and he said some of those names were good but he won't say which ones.

We have a pretty long list right now and we won't share our choice IRL anyways so I'll definitely be asking you guys for input along the way.
Quick question. Is it tacky to name a baby born in June June?
We'll do a family name for the middle name but haven't decided what it will be yet.
