It's called "Baby Name!" Kind of like Tinder for names and you link with your partner to see common matches.

My top favorite right now is Callum, but MH is not sold, so I have work to do lol. I really like Cal. You may not even be considering a nickname but I’ve always like that name. Yes, love the NN Cal which is a big part of why I love Callum so much.

We downloaded the app easternshoregirl mentioned and have one match.... Kody. I like the name but DS is Kolby and I'm afraid it's too similar. I was considering Kory. I WISH he would get on board for Kaleb. I'm bitter that he's not. haha

helloerrbody that was my top concern, that I'll mix them up all the time. Back to the drawing board. haha

So we have decided to no longer use Harper as the baby's name since it's so popular. DD1 is Dylan Carol and DD2 for now is going to be Brooklyn Nicole with the option of using Brooke as a nickname.

We are at an impasse. My DD1 is Em.ma R.ose.
My H likes Caroline as a FN. It's what he named his first motorcycle. I'm really not happy with that because of the correlation it already has. He's been very in my face about it too and so has his family. I'm not happy with this.
I am not sure on ANY names I like. I liked Madison bc I could call the girls my M&Ms and also, it's a nod to my Hs family as Maude is a family name on their side. But our last name ends in "son" so it's too much alliteration.
Basically I'm inherently saying NO to Caroline and not even considering it at this point because of how he's acting.

We are down to 3 names and MH basically said for me to decide because he can’t. We’ve got Nora, Penelope and Hannah. MN is going to be Joyce/Marie depending on the first name. Our last name is one syllable and starts with a P. I LOVE the name Penelope but I don’t know why I’m so hesitant. At first, I thought no way, we can’t use Penelope because our last name starts with a P, but then MH was on board with it. And then I started to think it was a cute name and like how it goes with our last name. I love the nickname possibilities and with the other 2, I don’t think there are nicknames. DD is Charlotte and goes by Char/Charlie.
So basically, I made a thread to convince myself that Penelope is the name...🤷🏼♀️

Unless we come up with something better, DD4 will be Gemma Rae. I just don’t LOVE it. Second first name on the list is Arden. DH would pick Rae as the middle name, I’d pick Virginia. He says that sounds awful but I think he’s nuts. Beyond that are a bunch of names we don’t both like.

We talked about it with DD but didnt use it so we were 100% it would be this one. And then we are having a boy lol.

I *think* we might be getting closer. I looked at names again during nap time and Karsen is growing on me and I believe that's on DH list. I'm not in love with it but I'm at least considering it now.

I happen to like alliteration (my first and last name start with the same letter and that didn’t change when I got married).

One named Char and one named Penelope so obviously I think that's a great sibset 😂😂

What do you guys think of...
(last name sounds like Handsome, DD1 is Em.ma R.ose)
Brynn Caroline (Havent bounced this off MH yet)
Madelyn/Madeleine Rose (combines Madison and Caroline, Rose is same as DD1)
???
I'm really at a loss for girls names.

Brynn is definitely NMS. I like Madeleine Rose.

sunfrogger, I actually love Brynn. I like both of your options. I was going to say I like Brynn too. I also like Madeline Rose but that is such a popular first name and even middle name combo by where I live. This could be very regional though. Brynn is pretty, different but not in a trying to hard kind of way.

Im all in on Scarlett but the name Wendy keeps creeping on me. No one likes this name but me.
Just a random thought. I’m not wavering but I felt the need to share.

sunfrogger I like both Brynn and Madeline. I am more of a fan of the traditional spelling of Madeline though since it would annoy me if someone was always misspelling my name. rebeccabunch I looooove Scarlett. Wendy is cute too though. But Scarlett!!! Love.

We still really like Ian as a first name. My sil told MH she didn’t like it as an alternative to John. His response “you don’t have to like it, we do.” I love him. Our current list is: Ian Lawrence Ian Lars Ian Vincent or Anthony John nn AJ. Our last name is 3 syllables, Italian and starts with L. The the problem with the first two names listed is that his initials would spell ILL.

rebeccabunch I love Scarlett. It’s getting more popular it seems but still not super popular. I like Wendy too and I feel it’s very under used.

Thank you all for the Scarlett love! I needed to hear it more than I thought!
Once I finally reinstall tapa I’ll pic a couple of the Scarlett O’Hara nursery decor pieces I bought.

sunfrogger would you pronounce Madeline and Madeleine the same? To me the second is a "lenne" sound while the first is a hard "line". My DD1 is Adeline Rose so I obviously love that option but Brynn is pretty too and seems more original so I would be torn!

DH and I sat down and went through a ton of names last night. A couple of names on his list were misspelled, like don’t come up on behind the name, and he was miffed that I called him out on that. Oy. Here is the list of what we’re left with.
Adelaide Ann Arden Virginia Gemma Rae Genevieve Ann Isla Rae Molly Rae Penelope Rae
As a sister for Ry.ann Eliz.abeth, El.sie Jo.ann, and Th.ea Lor.raine.
