If the baby is a boy I'm hoping for Daniel or Levi.
If the baby is a girl I'd like Esther or Abigail.

I have no freaking clue. DD didn’t have a middle name until after she was born. Like, we were walking around our neighborhood trying to make my contractions more regular, talking middle names. So.
But if it’s a boy I’d like Sam somewhere in there. Both of my grandfathers were Sam. Probably middle name because we lean towards a little less common first names.

sammichcat beautiful name choices! I especially love Levi and Abigail. DH and I struggled with naming DD big time, so we're bracing ourselves for another naming battle. We're finding out the sex this time so we'll likely wait to get into serious talks until we know. Our last name is long, difficult to spell and pronounce so all potential baby names need to be simple enough that the poor child won't have to go through life spelling/explaining all of his or her names. Right now, I like Lily for a girl and Gregory for a boy. We'll use FILs name (Carl) as our boy middle name, no clue on a girl middle name. All this is highly likely to change.

I am a little unsure about this. I’ve already got the girls name sorted and it’s lovely. Matches DD but not too closely and I love it.
But... if it’s a boy, DH wants to call him William. Nothing wrong with that name, very sensible and nice. But I swear, I must know 12 Williams under the age of 3. It’s a family name for him so I get it and I won’t fight him, I just feel like it’s super common at the moment and he’ll have to be 1 of 6 in his class at school.
So deep down secretly, I’m hoping this baby is a girl and we can avoid any issue 😆

We're about 97% set on Audrey for a girl, with either Graham or Rose as the middle name.
For a boy, we know we want Michael as the middle name, but we can't agree on the first. I LOVE Theodore, but H isn't a fan. Basically, he doesn't want a "Teddy".

Pretty sure H and I are going to have another boy only because we have no more boys names we both like. V’s was the only we agreed on last time, and still weren’t sure when I got induced.
We never really talked girls names last time because we waited to discuss until we found out what we were having. I LOVE Cecilia, and have for years (H has a cousin with that name, so maybe Cecily).

We love Henry for a boy, and the girl names list is a bit long. Top contenders are Ruby, Mabel, and Ophelia. (Yes, I just learned Ophelia is a popular song? I don't know, I never listen to the radio.)
My taste leans towards anything that might have been popular in 1914.

Girl name is set - Autumn Fay (Fay being a family name).
If it’s a boy, we’re decided on Owen. It’s been our boy name since before we got married, but he hasn’t agreed to the middle name yet. I’m oretty sure I’d win though. Owen Wesley (Wesley being my brothers name)

First off, that gif is terrifying.
DH and I actually had a conversation about this in the car yesterday. We never actually agreed on a boy name last time (luckily we had a girl or I'm not sure that kid would have a name 3 years later LOL). We probably won't start discussing names until around 20 weeks.

Our lists are long and constantly changing. MH isn't into serious discussions until we find out the sex. It feels like we will never find a name we love so firmly as DDs.

We won't even have this conversation until we know the sexes. The thought of coming up with 4 names makes my head hurt lol.

Our girl name is set:
Juniper May (May is my middle name, my mom's middle name, and my nieces middle name)
We are not set on boy names. Contenders are:
Forrest
Hugh Alexander (Hux for nn)
Alfred (nn Alfie)
Spencer
if not using Hugh Alexander, likely middle name is my maiden name.

Like, budders , I'm convinced we're going to have a boy because we can't find anything we both like. I love Oliver but our DS starts with an O and H thinks that'd be weird. Pssh. We started throwing around Calvin which is H's grandfather's first name and he's in hospice right now. His birthday is May 19 so technically could have a baby on his birthday. There might be a bit too much emotion with that name for many reasons though. We both really like Lydia so that's what she'll be if she's a she. Risscaboobs , I'm a big fan of Owen since it's my son's name. lemons, H has similar feelings on not discussing names until we know sex. Every time I bring it up now he says "You know I'm not ready for this conversation." |

DH and I like (for a boy): Clark, Liam or Henry.
Nothing for a girl though.

We haven't even started talking names yet. I do really like Emily if it's a girl. No idea on a boys name.

I have a list of girls' names that has never been whittled down, but my boy name list has been discussed nonstop twice. I will probably wait until I know the sex before I get too serious about thinking names.
I do love the older-era girl names and simple boys'names. I've always liked Mae and June for girls.

We were green last time around and went to the hospital with one girl name and five boys names (and had a boy). It's a perfect fit though.
This time around I don't know if I still like our girl choice (Adelaide) but I do really like Everly and Penelope. For boys, we still don't know. My H wants Wolf (Wolfgang) which is a hard no for me. I like Bastian (nn Bash) but haven't been able to convince him yet.

We have discussed it a few times, but we will hold until we know the gender.
We have several girl names, Margot, Maud, but no boy names ! We liked Hugo last time around but it seems to have passed.
ETA: we do want a name that works great in both english and french, so it is not that easy, ah !

Husband is French Canadian with a very French last name so they want a name that is nice in English and in French. Hard! Especially for boys, I think. Hugo is great. Margot too. They have a girl called Zoe. |

I am currently loving Cecilia, Annika, and Margaret (nn Margo) for girl names. Middle name will be Lorraine.
For boys I have absolutely no idea except that middle will be William. I don't mind Ronan and Connor but they don't jump out at me.
It's hard too because my 2 now have quite popular names, which is fine, doesn't bother me obviously but we can't very well have Olivia, Alexander, and like Andromeda. Needs to be on the same wavelength, KWIM? Gets tricky.
Suggestions appreciated! Prefer longer names and no colours because our last name is one.

The last two weren't named until I was in labor or they were born, I don't expect differently this time.
I have no idea about a boy. We already have two and I don't really want to hash through those boy lists again, you know?
For a girl, I'd love Morgan. I have no idea where DH stands on girl names though.

@toncupchalice, I love Morgane for a girl too, i would write it with en E at the end. H thinks it is a guy name in the US so he is not sold. Glad to see you have it in your girl list name |
