notelsie I love Lucas, it would have been on our list were it not for a guy we know named Lucas who is a total douchecanoe. Damn douchecanoes. Ruin everything. And thank you!

I think we're now down to Eliza Jane (which my husband thinks should all be a first name for some reason) or Beatrice/Betty Opal. I may wait until she's born to pick at this point hahah.

Baby boy brienne has a name....
Dylan Charles.
Charles was my late grandfather's first name and I am so, so thrilled to carry down a piece of him. I can't even begin to explain. I am all up in my feelz.

I love both the names foxtober and ladybrienne I adore the name. It’s really great to be able to give your child a name that has such a happy memory for you.

I’m still stuck on Lily James, but H isn’t on board for James as a middle name. He’s like, “If it’s not a boy, then we just won’t pass down the name.” But... IT WORKS. Why not?

Dramaphile I'm sorry! That sucks! I have never in my life given people an alternative suggestion when they've said what they want to name their kid. I just don't get it.

Middle names are perfect for these situations I think. And though i dont like typically masculine names on girls, I really like the flow of Lily James and think its perfect. But if H isnt on board, then that won't work. Boo.

Why is there a Penelope Kardashian??! Uhh
I think this is going to bother me about the name i thought my H and I agreed on.
Why can't they stick to making up names ? Eta well techincally she has the dads dad's name but you know what i mean.

Eta well techincally she has the dads dad's name but you know what i mean. Honestly, she has the least recognizable name of the Kardashian spawn. If you were naming your kid Stormi, True, Reign, Saint, North, or Chicago I would side-eye, but Penelope is "normal" enough that I wouldn't even think to associate the two.

So apparently my entire family has decided on Olivia. I love the name but dislike how popular it has become. But as my H points out, we don’t actually know any Olivias. I’ve literally never met one.
I do love the nn Liv or Livvie.

We seriously can’t agree on a boy name at all. I hate every name H picks! He is indifferent to all of the names I like. H suggested I narrow my name list down to 5-7 names and he will veto 2 of them and then we put the final 5 up and do a FB poll for our family and friends. We both don’t have an extensive friends list so it’s not like it will draw in hundreds of votes. I am trying to get on board with the idea just because I think that may be the only way we can decide on one and they will all be names I like.
Here’s my list so far, please give me you honest opinions on love/hate.
Rhys Kieran Lucian (nn Luc) Felix Finn Arlo Reece

I don't care for Lucien because of the similarity to Lucifer/Lucius. I also prefer Rhys to Reece--which doesn't actually matter, but you might split the vote if you include both in your poll.

I think you have a solid list and think Finn and Reece are super cute. I strongly encourage you to reconsider opening up a poll for family. It could depend on your family dynamics but for me, this would be a disaster. It will open the doors to people criticizing names on the list and really making it harder for you. It also gives the opportunity for comments on the names on the list and you might find it even harder to decide.

I actually decided against Lucian sometime last night. I think H willl veto Kieran and Arlo but he hasn’t decided yet. mikaela20 I had/have had some reservations about opening it up to a poll but we don’t have much of an extended family that’s on FB and it’s not their style to criticize our names. My mom has approved of all the names and the ILs aren’t outspoken about anything other than me breastfeeding past 4 months...

People are so weird that we'll never be able to guess if they're agast at four months because it's too much or too little. Lol

Argyle MIL asked me and MH repeatedly if we would be switching to formula and starting cereal after 4 months of BFing. She would ask if I was done each time she talked to either of us. I assume it will be the same this time even though she knows I went to 18 months with DS2.

sarcaztic10 Well that's weird. Hopefully they have a little more distance this time. People, be totally straight with me. Realistically, if I have a Philip nn Pip, what are the odds I will end up with a Phil? We live on the west coast if it matters.

I live in the South and was raised in the Midwest and if a Philip wasn’t just called by his full name it would be Phil.
