My maiden name is a boy's name that starts with T. Since both my boys have T names, I thought about it for a while. Maybe I will use it as a middle name.

I don’t think it’s goldi’s style but throwing it out in case anyone else likes it. Aurora was going to be C’s name had he been a girl. Gawd, I would’ve had the most gorgeous sib set names. 😉🤗😋

Love Marley, @unicorn! Poppy is my very favorite, cagoldi! I've heard of Arlo for a girl, @wine. It's cute! I like Sloane, Whitney and Quinn! Never would've thought of it for a girl! We'd use it for a boy.

Veda is beautiful, but makes me think of My Girl, which makes me cry just thinking of it.

I love Nam’s suggestion of Amelie. Cute! I like Poppy as well. Persephone is nms as much as I love Greek mythology. But if that’s what feels best to you, I think you should go for it! Don’t let other ppl’s potential confusion and mispronunciations stop you. Ophelia is another one good one. ETA. Oh, I see Nam just suggested Ophelia too. We are in the same wavelength today! Amelie has been on my list since Dude but Pete keeps insisting he prefers Amelia. I love both of those names.

Re: Nicknames, both my boys have names that shorten easily to common nicknames. And of course I call them four million and five pet names.

I'm not a fan of when people call their kid by their middle name. Just name your kid that name then! Me too. *poof

My BIL swears that if they ever have kids and it's a boy they will name him Richard Marlon and call him Marlon. All the men in his family have the first name of Richard. He hates his first name and he doesn't even like his family. WTF? Just fucking name him Marlon. Exactly! I get its a family tradition, but just make Richard the middle name! So much less confusing.

If anything, if you want to carry on the family name, use that as the middle name. I have a friend who is goes by his middle name (his first name is the same as his father's, and like a million other people in his family). His mom always tells the story of his first day of school when the teacher kept calling his name for attendance and he wasn't responding. He literally had no idea what his name was. He came home crying b/c he was so confused!!

We are struggling a bit with girl names. The only one we have agreed on is Anna. I like it, but it's not anything super special or anything. I haven't even thought of any other names worth bringing up to MH.

I haven't even thought of any other names worth bringing up to MH. I love Anna and it was my top girl choice. But it did not go with our last name, so I knew we could not use it. And as it turned it it didn't matter since we had all boys

I love talking names, like that wasn’t obvious. Not even thinking about a third for the next 1.5-2 years, but Dh and I already have a girl and a boy name picked.

It’s silly but I can’t put them in writing, feels like jinxing. Ds would have been *** if he would have been a girl, dd would have been ***. Pdq I’ll poof the names, just in case.
