Scarlett
Middle name up in the air
MH still brings up Leah which I like but I'm all in on Scarlett for a number of reasons and I'm not budging and he gets it.

Our name for baby boy is Oliver James. Oliver just because we like it, and James after my dad. Our last name is pretty tricky so we wanted a relatively easy first name!

We have settled on Harper Nicole but I keep second guessing it. Second choice for me is Carson Nicole.

We are team green, so our girl name is Noelle Frances and boy name is Nolan Sean/Cory (Family names for H he's choosing).
We've been team green every time and I don't think we've both been so content with both the names this early haha, so I'm happy it's one less thing to think about. Both are names we never had on our other two kids' lists either. We're probably at the point where we already know what we don't like so it was easier to think of names we do haha.

I'm actually needing suggestions.
Middle name will be Garritt in honor of my FIL who passed last year.
We are thinking of a name starting with a K or J, leaning towards a K. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Ideas that have been brought up but vetoed or not loved by one of us: Kaleb - I love this, DH is meh Korbin - I'd probably call him Kory Karsten - DH says it's trying too hard, whatever that means
Big brother is named Kolby.

We still haven't decided what to name DS2!
Our top names ATM are Elliott, Adam, Nicolas and Max.
The middle name is definitely Steven after H's great uncle.

Girl name is Alice, still deciding on mn. Alice Anita/Annette/Annabelle/Annalise
Boy name is most likely Joel Joseph. Alternate name is Nelson Nathaniel.

My current fave is Aiden.

sweetsurprise all your choices are good but I like Adam and Nicholas the best. If we were having another boy both of these names would be high on my list!

+1 to James and Julian for J names jessijean! DD likely would have been James had she been a he. And we both like Julian but it's much too similar to our son's name to use.

I’m fairly certain this one is Lila Marie. We haven’t fully committed to it yet, but we don’t have any other names in the running.
The only other name we have liked is Hannah, since it’s kind of a little nod to my maiden name. But I’m kinda bored by the name.

DD3 will be Josephine Faith. I waver because of the popularity of Josephine, but it has significance to us. This same kind of thing happened with DD1's name - we knew it was more popular than we would have liked, but it was meaningful to us so we stuck with it and have had no regrets.
Another reason I waver is because I have a soon to be nephew named Joey (not Joseph, just Joey) and I worry Josephine is too close but oh well.

Josephine was on my list as a nod to a family friend named Mary Jo and everyone called her Jo. DH vetoed that because his dad and grandfather are Joseph (grandfather has passed) and he has a cousin named Joe, but we only see the cousin 1-2 times a year.

We’re having a boy and right now he will be Sam.uel Geo.rge (nickname Sam).. Our 2.5yo DD is Cla.ire Mich.elle.
@jananigans are y’all doing an open adoption? Curious bc my younger brothers were closed adoptions as infants and as far as I knew their birth moms didn’t have any input on their names. But it would make sense for her to want input if she’d be seeing the baby after adoption.

We're Team green, and we haven't really come up with a big list yet. My favorite girl name right now is Eleanor, with either Anne or Renee as the middle name. pinkcat, my DS is an Oliver James. I think you've made an excellent choice!

DD is Em.ma R.ose ... No idea on little girl number two. We are toying with Ruth or maybe Rachel (the female form of Richard) because DDs MN honors my family - my g -grandma. So this time we thought we'd pick a name from MHs side. Any ideas? We liked Brielle Ruth. But Brielle is more of a nick name. My given name is a nick name and I didn't like that I didn't have an option.

I've loved the name Theodore since my second son was a baby. I've been "reserving" it since then, if I were to have another boy. It was the name we chose when I was pregnant with dd3. Westley, inspired by one of our favorite fantasy movies, has been a top contender and H's favorite. H wasn't really feeling Theodore this time, but it's grown on him and everyone else loves it. Now the decision is between Theodore Westley Corgiat (family surname) or Theodore Edward Corgiat. Decisions, decisions.
My other kids' names:
Grace Elizabeth Katherine Evangeline Lily Marine Duncan Lewis Garibaldi Henry Allen Greyson Ruby Matilda Rose
I was also excited about choosing girl names, but I just knew I was having a boy. The top contender was Genevieve Eleanor Love (family surname). All of my kids have at least one family name.

Right now I'm leaning towards Arden Virginia or Gemma Rae but I just can't say that I'm terribly in love with either.

It’s so adorable. I have a coworker who I can’t stand with that name tho so it has totally put a damper on it for me. I’m leaving that job now so maybe by the time this baby comes around, I’ll be over it haha. I might have to put it back in the running

Baby will be: Thea Clementine
My mom's middle name is Therese and Thea can be a variation of this. Thea is also a family name on H's side.
DD1 is Penny Alice
Penny is a nod to my maiden name, Nichols. Alice is my maternal grandmother's middle name

We change our minds almost every day. We found out last week that we are having a boy and of course boy names are the hardest! So far the only name we agree on is Aiden. Finding boy names that fit both France and the US is so much harder than one would think.

acarpediem I have the same problem! Boys names are hard and all the good Italian ones are taken by a relative! We will probably just name him 24 hours in like we did with my first!

We have no names yet, not even any finalists. I think I'll go search through some baby names lists now.
Unless anyone wants to name her for me! DD1 is Id.a Ophe.lia.
