For those of not expecting or planning on trying for a while, do you think you will actually use your current top names? [name]How[/name] long have they been your top names? ---

Well I’m expecting but all of the top names i like now, I will probably end up using one of the same names I have loved for years. 🙂 ---

If my husband says he loves one of my favorites, it gets gold stars and put into a list of its own. Those are the names I’m most likely to use. So, [name]Theodore[/name], for instance, is almost certainly going to be the boy’s name we use should we ever have another boy. No girl’s names yet though. ---

There’s a couple of names that have been on my list for years that Most likely I’d use. But the rest of them change pretty frequently and I might like them this week and not next. and since I’m not planning on having children anytime soon, I most likely won’t use those names 🙂 ---

I don’t think I’ll use my top names and combos when I do have kids. My taste tends to change a lot. When I first got into names I liked [name]Marley[/name], [name]Charley[/name], [name]Harley[/name], [name]Kayden[/name], [name]Mackenzie[/name] etc. Which now I really dislike. In a few years my top names will probably seem really odd and unusable, though I do dread the day when I won’t like [name]Rita[/name], [name]Meredith[/name], [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Miranda[/name], [name]Cormac[/name] and [name]Dante[/name]. ---

I like names from almost all different styles. (I never really know if I’ll like a name until I hear it.) But as much as I hear new names (and I have A LOT since I became a berry!), I can still only picture 6 different name combos for a possible child. [name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Douglas[/name] - I really like [name]Benjamin[/name] nn [name]Benji[/name] or [name]Ben[/name] and [name]Douglas[/name] is my dad’s name [name]Jackson[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] - I know both are pretty popular, but I still love both [name]Josiah[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] - nn [name]JoJo[/name] (I picture him as a twin to [name]Malachi[/name]) [name]Malachi[/name] [name]Ry[/name]??? - nn KaiRy (not sure which spelling I like better for the nn, pn kye-rye), I love that nn but haven’t found a boy name starting with [name]Ry[/name]— that I like very much. I don’t really mind [name]Ryan[/name], but I don’t like [name]Ryder[/name], [name]Rylan[/name], [name]Ryland[/name], [name]Ryker[/name] or [name]Riley[/name]/[name]Reilly[/name]/etc. [name]Peyton[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name] - [name]Peyton[/name] is very unisex for me, which I really don’t like, so I’d probably find another name that sounded good with [name]Marguerite[/name] (I want to honor my grandma, and don’t like her fn of [name]Iola[/name]) All of this said, I’m not dating much less married, so it’ll be a while before I have kids. And then I’d have to take my husband’s opinions into account. If it were solely up to me, though, these would be the names! ---

I’ve wanted to use the name [name]Tabitha[/name] for a girl for about ten years now. I don’t want kids any time soon, but I would love to use it. Although my future husband would probably have to have some say in it… ---

I’m not expecting for a few years now, but I think I can accurately say I will use my top name [name]Alexander[/name]. [name]Alexander[/name] has been my favorite name for maybe five years and I have never heard another name that has come close to my love for [name]Alexander[/name]. [name]Owen[/name] was my only grandfather’s middle name and I absolutely adore it alone and with [name]Alexander[/name] . . . however that middle name has changed a few times so I have no idea if it will change again. My second combo, [name]Mark[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] has only been in my favorites for a year or two, but I do have a strong passion for it. I may lose my love for [name]Mark[/name], but [name]Thomas[/name] being my fiance’s father’s name will probably stay forever. From there, [name]Jack[/name], [name]Evan[/name], and [name]Adam[/name] are all great boy names . . . but I probably will have “moved on” by the time I have a third/fourth/fifth son! haha For girl’s I’m 100% certain I will not use my favorite names. I’m already losing interest in [name]Bridget[/name], [name]Leah[/name], AND [name]Paige[/name] - which are the only names I love. [name]Claire[/name] will almost definitely be the first girls’ middle name, however and I’m really starting to [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Soleil[/name] (as it’s a reference to my own last name). And on one last note, my fiance loves [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Owen[/name], [name]Mark[/name] [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Evan[/name] \_\_\_\_, and \_\_\_\_ [name]Claire[/name] . . . so that makes the possibility of using them in the future even higher. ---

[name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] has been one of my favourite combos for years. The first names have differed though, a couple of years ago I preferred [name]Giulia[/name] [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name], then came [name]Maude[/name] [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name], then came [name]Philippa[/name] [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] and now it’s [name]Anna[/name] [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]. I reckon I’ll stick to [name]Anna[/name], but you never know. However I’m pretty sure I’ll still love [name]Ingrid[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] when I have kids. ---

I think it’s fairly likely since we’re not too far off from starting to try, at the soonest about 6 months! Crazy! But I think my fiance will like most of the names I like. Definitely going to get a list from him once we really start planning and compromise on what we both like. I’m hoping he will like my favorites as much as I do but I’m not opposed to new ideas if there’s something he likes a lot. ---

I doubt it. It will be at least 10 years before I have kids and at the rate my favourite names are changing I doubt I will still love them anywhere as much. However I do think I will use the family names ([name]William[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Leah[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Seth[/name] and [name]Mya[/name]) that I use in almost all my favourite combos now. ---

I think I will, I’m not expecting, nor will I likely for at least 6 years, but I do think it’s very possible they’ll be used. My top names are pretty sturdy imo, and aren’t GPs. ([name]Alessandra[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Katerina[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Elena[/name] are the top 5 for girls. [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Eden[/name], [name]Leo[/name], [name]Eric[/name] for boys.) I tend to love names for a years at a time, so it’s very possible. And if I end up with children with my current SO, then they’ll definitely be used. He loves a lot of these names as much as I do, and even grows attached to them as if they already exist. He’s referenced to our potential first child as “[name]Nathaniel[/name]” a handful of times. ---

Well, [name]Elliot[/name] has been with me for years, so I imagine that I will use that one. The others are a little more up in the air–girls especially. I change girl’s names like I change socks.
