Let’s change DH’s mind.

[oliversbear]

Boy:
Dominic -- keep
Nicholas -- keep
Archer -- toss

It seems you guys are stuck on "Nic" names.
Suggestions:
Geoffrey
William
Merrick
Ian

Girls:
Cora -- toss
Anne -- keep
Katherine -- keep
Reid -- toss, very, very far
Reagan -- keep

I like the quirkiness & classic literature feel of Reagan, though I'm sure others would not.
Suggestions:
Matilda
Adelheid/Heidi
Daphne
Celia
Carolyn
Margaret
Ellen

Reid - for the love of all that is holy, throw it away!

Cora- beautiful
Anne- lovely
Katherine- gorgeous
Reid?????? Just. Why?
Reagan??? No

I like your boys names.

I like Reid for a boy, but not for a girl -- unless it's a family surname you want to use as a first name, then it's a quirky, but I love the tradition of naming daughters with their mother's maiden name.

Anne Katherine is lovely. Would you use it as a double-first name, or just call her Anne? Either way it's an excellent choice. I prefer Catherine, but that's because that's how the name has always been spelled in my family. In DH's family it's Katherine.

I’m really enjoying the Reid hate 😂😂 I’m coming back to An.ne Kath.erine (likely in that order as a full name.) I just can’t find anything I like better - I just feel like I have to try so I can be 100% sure it really is my favorite.

I think we both love Nicholas and Dominic and will just have to see what the baby looks like if it’s a boy. Either way, the NN will likely be the same.

I adore the name Reid. For a boy.

[Leaf 🌱]

oliversbear probably a double first name and we’d go with a K bc it’s a family name. I worry bc DD’s FN is one syllable though - but I guess if she really hated the length she could just go by Anne.

Our DD#1 was *thisclose* to being Anna Katherine.

This has been covered but still... Reid on a girl is not okay.
