I am pregnant with my third baby and due in [name]July[/name]. We opted to not find out the gender this time. I am having an
incredible amount of trouble thinking of names for this little one. My husband has taken a liking to the name [name]Phoebe[/name]. In fact, it is the only name he has liked. I like it too, but I am not sure I am ready to commit to the name.
My husband has said no to the girl names [name]Greta[/name], [name]Blair[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Rowan[/name], [name]Portia[/name], [name]Callista[/name], [name]Freya[/name], [name]Lola[/name], [name]Athena[/name], [name]Arden[/name]. He has also vetoed the boy names [name]Lincoln[/name], [name]Duncan[/name], [name]Graham[/name], [name]Ephraim[/name], [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Stone[/name]. While pregnant with our daughter, we liked the name [name]Sullivan[/name] for a boy. He says he is just lukewarm about that one now.
My kids names are [name]Milo[/name] [name]Silas[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]. What sounds good?
Wow, I am very intrigued by your naming style. You like great names and both of your kids have first and middles that flow really well and are almost matchy. So it sounds like most of this depends on your husband.
[name]Phoebe[/name] is good, but you can’t name a boy [name]Pheobe[/name] and maybe you would like something other than [name]Phoebe[/name]. [name]Daphne[/name] is similar but different. I guess I don’t really know what to say since it seems like he will veto anything. [name]Do[/name] you know any boy names he likes?
My husband is being particularly difficult this time. He wanted to find out the gender but reluctantly agreed to wait. [name]Daphne[/name] is a name that I like and have suggested on a new list waiting for him to review. He doesn’t like [name]August[/name] because he says it sounds weak. I love the nickname [name]Gus[/name] and he doesn’t. We were actually pretty set on [name]Drake[/name] for a boy until tonight. He says that he doesn’t like it now because of the rapper [name]Drake[/name]. I think it is too much current pop culture. I love, love, love, [name]Conrad[/name]. It is also on the list awaiting his approval.
I just asked him what boy names he likes. He said [name]Milo[/name] and [name]Aaron[/name]. [name]Milo[/name] is our son’s name and [name]Aaron[/name] is his name. Please. Help.
I also must admit that I am probably making the naming process no fun. I really wanted to name the baby [name]Olive[/name]. He really hates it.
Men! They don’t want to contribute but they don’t like anything we come up with! I hear you, sister!
Boys
[name]Milo[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name] and:
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]/[name]Ike[/name]
[name]Linus[/name]
[name]Norris[/name]
[name]Avi[/name]
[name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Cedric[/name]
[name]Cyrus[/name] (too close to [name]Silas[/name]?)
[name]Rufus[/name]
[name]Rex[/name]
[name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name]
[name]Milo[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], and [name]Phoebe[/name] are a lovely sibset so I’d say go for it! [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Claire[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Jane[/name], or [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] are possible combinations. Some other possibilities:
Last night I made my husband narrow down a very extensive list of names. He liked very little of the names on the sheet, but thankfully he liked many of my favorites. I am debating on two girl middle names at the moment. My four year old has called this baby [name]Annabel[/name] since the beginning of the pregnancy. I thought it would be a cute middle and good story. The second middle is [name]Eliza[/name]. My mom really loved this name and my dad hated it. She suggests it to every single pregnant person. I know it is extremely close to [name]Elizabeth[/name], but that doesn’t really bother me. Middles for boys would possibly be [name]Aaron[/name], [name]Michael[/name], or [name]James[/name]. For girls we now have:
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Scarlet[/name]
[name]Betty[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Sasha[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name] with the nn [name]Dottie[/name]
For boys:
[name]Sullivan[/name]- this was out, but apparently is now back in
[name]Montague[/name]- I don’t love
[name]Montgomery[/name]
[name]Briggs[/name]
[name]Pierce[/name]
[name]Flynn[/name]
[name]Jensen[/name]- randomly picked by my four year old
[name]Conrad[/name]
Which do you like best? Any others I could suggest?
