Anyone have any thoughts on names? I have a good list of girl names, but I am really struggling with boy names. We’re team green.
For a girl, my front runner is Eliza. H likes Lillian. I don’t love it, but I like it well enough that I could go for it.
I like Theo for a boy, but I don’t love Theodore (1. That’s a chipmunk 2. Teddy as nickname is totally out). I feel bound by some arbitrary rule that you can’t just name a kid the established nickname of a longer name, but I just need to get over that. Because, really, who cares?

I have a running list of names on my phone, but if this goes anything like last time, that's not going to matter. We were Team Green last time, too, and ended up tossing the whole list when kiddo was born and had to start over anyhow. 😂

We have our names picked I think. They’re after family members (DS was named after a grandfather) so it’s a bit simpler. Still looking for a boy MN. We’re pretty sure it’s a boy based on last ultrasound but the tech said she was only 80% sure because kiddo was being shy.
Hazel Joyce (H’s gma, my gma) Campbell ___ (H’s great uncle)
DS is Fin.ley Holl.is. He goes by Fin usually and I love Cam and Fin as a sibset.

mothafuckinteatime, Hazel is H’s grandma’s name. We put it on our short list. I like Cam and Fin together too. Great choices Rama, that’s funny! DD is named Cora, and I just knew in my bones from the beginning of my pregnancy she was a girl. She was Cora from the start, and luckily it fit her perfectly. I don’t have any sense one way or the other this time around so we might end up throwing our list out by then too.

The funny thing is, I was also completely sure what we were having and we still had to start over on meeting her. 😂 Not a single one of our names fit her and she was nameless for about 12 hours. 🤣🤣

MH suggested it since he's currently obsessed with Hamilton but I'm not into naming after movies/musicals/books. I almost agreed And I know a little Theo. Just Theo, not short for anything. Never thought twice about it so I say go for it!

We were team green last time so we went to the hospital with 2 boy names and 2 girl names and came home with one of each.
The names we didn't use last time aren't on my list this time, though I do still love them: Gloria and Henry.
Right now I have 3 boy names and only 1 girl name. DH and I haven't even discussed names yet in depth but I hope he agrees!

culinarycanary,I love Eliza! mothafuckinteatime, my son's name is Finn! With my son we went to the hospital with 5 names picked out and then right before he was born we chose because I had been in labor hell for 2 entire days before a c-section and it just felt right to go ahead and name him and we both liked the same name best. We're going to do the same thing this time and so far we have 4 solid names picked out that we both like - Harper, Madelyn, Lilly, or Adeline. I really love all of those so I have no idea which one we'll land on! All our names are a secret from everyone we know so it's nice to share them with you guys!

culinarycanary ohhh Eliza is great! I need more girl names. I kinda like Claire, or Heidi. But DD2 has an H name and I worry it would be too matchy... and they’ll be pretty close in age. We can’t come up with anything else though.

Welp, MH nixed 2 of my 3 boy names. He's "yeah, that's fine" on the last boy name and one girl name I suggested. So...I guess we've kind of picked them out?? He's offered no serious suggestions.

My H was non-committal and unhelpful with names, but vetoed everything. 🙄 and then then "eh, it's okay names" turned to "no"s near the end because AUUUUUUGH
