We're team green, so it's always hard to settle on anything until the end.
DS is I.an, DD is Lo.uisa
Right now we feel happier/content with our possible girl names:
Megan Frances
Camille Frances
Boy names are always sooo hard for us. No real top contenders, but some we currently agree on:
Asher Cory
Jeremy Sean
Gabriel Sean
Scott Anton

blueskiessmiling rebeccabunch I definitely appreciate the vote of confidence!! If I was 9 months right now I'm pretty sure Megan and Asher would be the names we took into the delivery room. So there's a good chance they will be, but we are both still open to the convo right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because of this thread I've started a list of possibilities on my phone.
Logan
Braden
Kelsie
Rebecca
I have a gut feeling it's a girl which freaks me out some because I know how to handle a boy and all of our clothes etc are very boyish.

I feel like I should update that we're now onto Layla Marie, instead of Lyla/Lila.
My only reservation is that my nieces name is Kayla, but she's 14 now... Not sure why that age gap matters in this scenario, but I felt like I should add it in there haha. My sisters don't think it's too close at all. Afterall, I do have 2 siblings by the names of Tim and Kim.

I'm one of those simple-spelling people to just spell it like it sounds. id prefer just the Layla spelling since it's the most simple. I could see people butchering the pronounciation of the name with a different spelling lol |

Hey, you're talking about my first name! Well, the Lyla spelling. It's so strange to me, because growing up I *never* knew anyone with my name (was never on any keychains!) and now it's popping up in babies everywhere 😊 Just to make sure, amesie you know those are different pronunciations, right? Layla sounds like lay-luh; Lyla sounds like lie-luh. ETA I think I misread, I see you know those are different names. 😉 |

Ok here is our list (team green)
Boys
My favorite: Emmett (h vetoed because there is one on the Dallas cowboys?!?!)
Hs favorite: Cole ( I think this is too popular and offered Colin, nn Cole and H said no (why?) )
○ Nelson (this is a family name. It checks all the boxes but I don't LOVE it)
○ Benjamin
○ Patrick
○ Joel
Girls:
1. My Favorite: Eliza (H vetoed)
2. H’s Favorite: Annie (Again I offered options with the nn Annie and he said no. He wants it to be the full name. But DD is Molly and I think Molly and Annie is not a good sibset.
3. Joint Agreements:
○ Samantha
○ Eleanor (too popular I think)
○ Alice

benandjerrys Emmitt (yes spelled that way) Smith was a very famous Dallas Cowboys running back in the 90s and early 2000s. I think the name is fine to use. Lots of people won't make the association but especially kids!

Also helloerrbody I suggested your son's name and H didn't veto it! I'm hoping for that or Asher. (He isn't a fan of Asher at all) |

Okay guys I have to share this here where I'm mostly sure no one I know will see it.
Someone one in my family just had their third daughter and second straight premie (32 weeks for the 2nd daughter 33 weeks for this baby) due to low amniotic fluid. Baby is doing fine but they didn't have a name ready so she went almost a full day without a name. Sister's names are Kendall and Kylie (eye roll for the Kardasian sib set alone) so I figured they would go with another Kardasian name. I was wrong and it is worse than I thought. They named her Kooper. I'm judging so hard now... I don't like male names for females in general (not even a fan of the gender neutral names but those aren't as bad) but to take "Cooper" and then change the spelling.... Ugh, that poor baby.
There are so many perfectly nice names that start with a K... Kendall and Kylie are trendy but normal so I just don't understand why they went off the deep end with this one.

I would absolutely do it if you like the name! |

We don't see them too often, but I think it would be weird for my Dad to have two grandchildren with the same name. |

Our parents only have one other grand kid (other than our kid) on either side so that name is definitely off the table. Now cousins kids I would feel less weird about but on my side only one boy whose name is ok but I don't love it so we probably wouldn't use it.

If this one is a boy, he'll be wearing DS old clothes too. DS is an April baby but was large at birth so if this one is normal sized, he'll fit in all of DS's clothes. We still have most of them. Even if it's a girl, she'll be wearing most of DS's holiday pajamas and onesies as they'll line up. |

tiffrobot I LOVE Camille, I think it is such a pretty name. Frances is very likely to be our middle name for a girl. It's my grandmother's name. If it's horrible with the first name we pick we'd do her maiden name or something, but I feel like Frances isn't that difficult to match up with other names.

It's also my grandma's name (though she goes by her middle name), it's one of my middle names, and just by chance it's my MIL's middle name. So I feel like I'm hitting all parts of the family by using it haha! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
