[name_f]My[/name_f] DH and I are TTC and have had our favorite girl name picked out since we first got together many years ago: [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. We love this name, it was his idea, and we have agreed on it since the beginning. Leaning towards middle name [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] for a “space” tie or something 1 syllable since it’s so long.
We have never been able to agree on a boy name, or most girl names for that matter. I really want to feel confident that our son will have a strong yet uncommon name in US standards.
Surname is [name_m]Gardner[/name_m].
He loves:
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (like them both but some of the top US names)
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] (tempting for me but unsure of two C names)
[name_m]Orion[/name_m] (have several Ryans in the family but he LOVES space)
I love:
[name_m]Samson[/name_m] (he’s not sold)
[name_m]Otto[/name_m]
[name_m]Rowan[/name_m] (one of my favorites but so popular lately)
[name_m]Kit[/name_m]
[name_m]Wells[/name_m]
[name_m]Odin[/name_m]
[name_m]Evren[/name_m] (have a devin in the family)
If it helps, other girl names I currently like are:
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Loula[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f] (the flowers are more guilty pleasures at this point)
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
He likes [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], but is very open to my girl names because he is also offput by having every kid in class sharing a name.
We tend to lean towards older names but those are really the only trends we have noticed.
Throw out all the suggestions, especially for those boys friends!

He’s loving the [name_m]Mars[/name_m] idea with a formal name!! Also love [name_m]Milo[/name_m], [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], and I’m still loving the “Ro” names. Good ideas.
