tarheelmom, I like Eleanor a lot. We also downloaded the babycenter baby names app this week, it was really useful in giving us options we hadn't considered yet.

I like Eleanor best from your list tarheelmom. And I think Eleanor Gabrielle is pretty too!

So my H told me he prefers the name Camilla over Camille. I’m not opposed, but my cousin’s name is Camilla. She lives in London and we don’t talk a ton, although we do keep in touch, and we obviously don’t see her on a regular basis. I mean, I could see us going to visit her and her sister when the kids are older, but there wouldn’t be much regular interaction. Thoughts?

I, personally, wouldn't use a name that a family member has (first name anyway). I nixed several names because cousins or their children have those names, even though I haven't seen any of them in 10+ years. But that's me. If it doesn't bother you, then I'd go for it if you love the name.

cara in that instance I wouldn't be opposed to using it if you love it. For us, MH loves William, nn Will and I do too. But my uncle's name is William. Although he goes by Bill and has forever, I still don't want to use it. We see him a ton. Luckily we both love Connor just as much.

So the new royal baby is Louis Arthur Charles. 2/3 of those were on our short list for baby names. I guess I have royal taste! (Actually it's just that my family is British so lots of these traditional British names are family names). This baby won't be Louis though, so we're safe if that gets super-popular.

If you saw her a lot, it would be a no for me, but since she lives an ocean away, I say go for it if you love it.

I don't see Louis becoming as popular as George did - I think it's a lot more difficult to use in everyday (non-royal) life. But I'm super glad that it wasn't something on my short list!

I think my cousin is going with Colt for her name. I'm still not telling anyone our name until after her baby is born and named in July. But 95% sure we are going with Connor Ethan.

I have no idea what to name this baby. She might never have a name.
DD1 is Aar.a.lee (Air-uh-Lee) Marie DD2 is Bri.ley Amelia
They are unique, but have meaning to H and I. I don’t want to use a C name and if this one ends in “Lee” too, that will probably be way too matchy.

sugarkissed I kind of like the ending in a “Lee” sound! I like matchy though!

We just thought maybe it was too matchy with B’s middle name. Does that matter? Haha

Haha Unless I'm pronouncing one of the names wrong they don't sound matchy to me. I like Mila. Here's some that popped in my head: Thalia Dahlia Cora Adeline

ASFM and my naming problem. I have the Baby Name Wizard book and have gone through all the boy names and am working through the different sections in the back of the book. I wrote down every name I like even a little.
I told MH when I'm done with the book I'll narrow down to 5-10 names and he can pick his favorite from those and that's that. He seemed agreeable to that.

Mila is such a cute name. I know a little girl named Mila and the name fits her so well.

Heres my boy list after going through the whole baby name wizard book:
Dean Cooper Angus Argus Arlo Milo Miles Tobias Titus Niles Viggo Zeke Nico Desmond Dimitri Matthias Rocco
I don't love any of them, but they could work. Cooper and Miles are too popular and my husband doesn't like Argus, Angus, or Rocco but I might still try to get him on board. I need to narrow down a little more and then let him pick a winner.
Anyone care to help me narrow?

Anyone care to help me narrow? I like Milo, Tobias, Titus, Desmond, and Matthias. I would just nix the two that are too popular and the three YH doesn't like. Unless you love one of the three he doesn't like. That will narrow it further and it's still a decent list.
