[name_m]Just[/name_m] found out we’re pregnant! 
I love baby names and would love to get some new ideas as DH will not discuss names until he knows the sex of the baby. We’re roughly only 3.5 weeks so I have plenty of time, but DH is extremely picky so I need a nice long list to run by him
Some things to consider: We would love names that are not prone to nn’s as I hate them (I know you can’t always keep people from nick naming a child, however we haven’t had any problems with DS and he’s 15 months old). I prefer biblical, but anything vintage and not popular is also a plus. I also want it to sound good with DS ([name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Richard[/name_m]) Our last name is a short 4 letter 1 syllable nature-y last name.
For a girl: Middle name will definitely be [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. It is not an option for a first name, and I do not want to use any variation of the name.
[name_f]My[/name_f] ideas for a girl are:
- [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (love the meaning)
- [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] (I just love the way it sounds with [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]) However, I’m almost certain DH will veto it.
- [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (I feel [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] has better flow than [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], however DH is set on the middle name being [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], does [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] flow okay?)
- [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] ([name_u]Love[/name_u] the double MA sound, but fear that [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] might come off as too nature-y with our last name?)
- [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] [name_u]Reagan[/name_u] (This has been my absolute favorite name for years, however I do not like the way [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] flows)
Other’s I’m considering to add to the list: [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] (can’t get over the meaning), [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], and [name_f]Astrid[/name_f].
For a boy: Looking for names that does not start with “T” or “J”. Possible middle name ideas as of now are [name_m]Frank[/name_m]/[name_m]Franklin[/name_m] (nod to DH), [name_m]Melvin[/name_m]/[name_m]Dennis[/name_m] (nod to my dad) however DS does not have a family middle name so I’m not adamant about those 3 names.
[name_f]My[/name_f] number 1 pick for a boy is [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Sherwood[/name_m], however I feel [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] is rising in popularity? I really want to use [name_m]Sherwood[/name_m] as a first name, however I know many people will hate it so I’m hoping to save it and find the perfect name to use it with. -[name_m]Sherwood[/name_m] is my favorite guilty pleasure name right now.
- [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] (DH already vetoed this name too
)
- [name_m]Samson[/name_m] (though I’m not finding a good mn I like with it)
- [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Frank[/name_m]/[name_m]Melvin[/name_m] (Maybe too stuffy with our DS’s name?)
Others: Rom (too nick name-y? I don’t like [name_m]Romulus[/name_m]), [name_u]Claude[/name_u] (again meaning),
Sorry it’s long! Guess I’m kind of picky too lol. If you have any suggestions on the names I like and if you could give me some new suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!

[name_f]Jeanette[/name_f]

[name_f]Constance[/name_f]

Thanks ladies these are some great suggestions!
[name_f]My[/name_f] mn as well as my maternal grandma’s is [name_f]Janette[/name_f], so I don’t think I want to use it as a fn. [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] is okay, but is dh’s grandma’s name.
I love Mirium, [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] but dh vetoed all of them when we were pregnant with ds, but maybe he’ll change his mind
[name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_m]Amos[/name_m], among a few others are growing on me. [name_m]Will[/name_m] definitely add them to the list.
[name_m]Moses[/name_m] is a gp of mine as I have cousins with this last name so I’m afraid it’s not too usuable for me. I adore [name_m]Abel[/name_m], but my sister named her son [name_m]Kain[/name_m] so I would never use [name_m]Abel[/name_m] now…
Any other ideas?
