Names

[becca022]

Has anyone thought of names yet.
We've picked Ella Lorraine Lee for a girl, but can't agree on a boys name yet. Boys names are hard :confused:.

[Ffrenchstar]

I have thought on and off about it....I think we will probably get serious about it after we find out the sex at the 20ish week scan.

I like heaps of names but DH hardly likes any haha.

[mum2ethan]

Hi we have picked Talitha Jean for a girl and havent got any names for a boy that we both agree on! I like Dechlan or Noah but DP doesnt he likes Reginald!!!! Sorry but no way is my kid going to be called Reginald!!! :no: but i keep changing my mind every week on boys names :laughing:

[butimacheerleader]

We found out we are having a boy!! :)

Boys names are so much harder to choose then girls.
We like Elwood, Ace, Digger, Benji, Jimmy and Buster at the moment.
But I dont think you could be taken serious with half those names so we are looking at alternatives that can be shortned to them, I am open for suggestion lol.

[kas3]

We like Zoe or Holly for a girl... Haven't agreed on a boy's name yet!

[PrincessT]

We like Araminta, Venezia, Eugenia, Seraphina, Amarni and Valentina for girls and GianCarlo, GianMarco and Lucciano for a boy... we are seriously stumped by boys names which is really bad as we have a feeling this one is blue and not pink!!

[YacinesMommy]

Hi
we are also having heaps of trouble picking boys names. Mainly because Yacine has such an unusual name and "nice" unusual boys names are so hard. Middle name is picked for a boy. It will be ......... Hans-Emmanuel. Both names are my DH's and Hans is also in my dads name and Emmanuel in my FIL's name. So everyone's coveres. For a girl its much easier it will be Soleil Christa-Marie. (Christa is my moms name) I also really love the name Gizelle, but dh is from Haiti and he says its a very common name over there and there are several girls in the family already with that name. But i still love it.

[Shera]

DF refuses to discuss names & keeps suggesting ridiculous names because he thinks it's funny. mmm, we will probably end up like last time -DS was unnamed for 3 weeks after he was born as we couldn't agree on a name, he wanted the name Zinzan I wanted Dante'.

I can only think of girls names, I find boys names so difficult! I love the names Giselle or Gizelle (like you YacinesMommy) and Katja - of course DF doesn't like them, he is sooo picky with names!

[Tina33]

We normally choose names about a week before the baby is due..so wouldn't have a clue here..:confused:

Just enjoying getting bigger...:smiliedance:

[84zsazsa]

:wave:

Halen James for a boy and the girl choices i just dont know??

Unlike everyone else im having trouble with a girls names!!

We will probably go with Chloe Christine or Sofia Laurel.

Danni

[BazzasMum]

DH wants Sophie for a girl, but then says if it's a girl it's going back where it came from... ummm NOT!!!
He also tried Brahma for a boy, but no son of mine will be named after cattle!!!:shame:

I truly don't know. Had DS picked out from conception, Alex either way, but this one, I don't have a clue. :confused:

Kirsty ;)

[kirra]

My brother went out with a girl called Valentina she was lovely and so is the name.

I have the choice with this child as DH picked the name Liam before we even met :yes:.
So i will keep him waiting and stir him with funny names. I am waiting to find out the sex can't be bothered with the effort of looking at names yet? In my older and wiser years I have really liked the fact my name is a little different to everyone elses (kirrilie) so might go down that track But not too different as if kids can't find anything about you to pick on they will go for your name :)

[SpudBoy]

nope were stuck big time we sort of have girls names but nothing were even 100% on but absolutely no boys names! grr! when we were having our 1st the day we found out we had both names picked out this time we cant. and its not like he likes wot i dont we both dont like any. :laughing:

[mum2ethan]

well DP and i have decided on a boys name but we just have to think of a middle name now...

[farmmummy]

Matt and I sat down today after lunch and came up with a couple...yep I think I'm set up for names now. Sarah wasn't named after any one but Jack was named John (Matt's middle name) Leslie (my dad's middle name and my pop's name)
Girls:
Nikayla Georgette (Nikayla is another version of Nicole)
Elizabeth Jane
Catherine Cosette (another version of Nicole)
Georgina Orieal
Emily Frances (Frances is my middle name and my nanna's and her husband my pop's middle name was Francis)
Boys:
Elliott Theadore
Thomas Martin (Martin is Matts Grandfathers name)
Bryce Anthony
Patrick Robert
Edward Robert (Robert is Matt's dad's name)
and believe it or not 5 minutes before I typed this I had another one for the boys but baby brain has kicked in and I can't remember it.

[kas3]

The only boy's name we've agreed on is Riley. I also like Eli, but DH isn't that keen...

[javic]

Cheerleader - I love your chosen names:
Elwood, Ace, Digger, Benji, Jimmy and Buster - but they do sound like names for dogs a little bit!

PrincessT - those Italian names are all so lovely. One three year old I know is named Angelique and I think that is beautiful too :)

We found out we're having a boy - since his Dad is Muslim and he'll be a dark baby I thought a more exotic name would be fitting. Looking up a Muslim names database on the internet I found a bunch of names and the only one we agreed on was Faris. So we're calling him that for the moment! I only got up to the F's on the list though so more investigation might come up with another name altogether :)

[Twiglet]

my hubby likes Elwood

[kirra]

Riley was the popular name in Liam's mum's group that was the name of 2 of the bubs.

Elwood is a fantastic name i love it.

We have picked a name but not sure if it will be the first or second name. well i was thinking about it awhile ago But don't like the connection to an older name, anyway thought about it more as its a different version to DH's mums middle name,
when we went for the scan last week and she said it's a girl I looked up and on the curtain rail (was at the hospital so curtain around the bed) there was a sticker of the cartoon who has this name. I thought that was a hell of a sign. So I told DH what I was thinking. So the name is Maggie. Now we have to agree on another name too :crying:

[farmmummy]

Kirra - that is a sign if ever I heard one. Lol.

Well down to boys names and there are five to choose from. Matt and I ran over them with his mum, dad and aunt who kept screwing their face up at all but one Thomas Martin. That would be because Martin was Matt's mum and aunts dads name. I'm sorry but I don't care what they think. I'm going to name him what ever I want and I don't think I really want to follow the tradition of family members I did that with Jack so for me Elliott Theadore is still number one.

[YacinesMommy]

I really like the names you all haves picked for your bubbas.
Nikki I think Elliott Theodore is absolutely gorgeous,.. Love it, love it, love it!!!!
and Twiglet I like Elwood too. Kirra I also think Maggie is a really cute name for a lil girl.
For us its so much more difficult as I keep going on, and on, and on about it. The first name we had picked as Soleil but now DH doesnt like it anymore, but we need a name that sounds good in german french and english. and isnt too long cause the middle name has to be a double name like DD1. so no more than 3 syllalbles (SP) for the first name. I also like the name Arielle (pronuced Aa-ri-elle) and Samara but DH doenst like Samara. I think its beautiful. Oh well i think we'll come up with something before our DD2 is born!!!! i hope,.....

[kirra]

Elliott Theodore sounds perfect :o

[becca022]

I like Thomas Martin. Thomas is my DS's name :thumbsup:. Elliott is nice too.

Maggie is a cute name for a little girl :yes:.

[PrincessT]

Tina - Allegra's best friend is called Ariella and its close to Arielle and its such a gorgeous name.

[mum2peanut]

If we have a boy his name will be Cooper (which is what DD was going to be) Wayan (traditional Balinese name, Dad is balinese and he'll be wrapped, it actually means first born, but I'm going with first born boy, cause it's masculine sounding to me) McCowat (past on third name for the eldest boy in Dh's family- just a bit of pressure to eventually have a boy)
If it's a girl, we're thinking Sienna, it's so popular these days, but I really love it. Or if not Allegra. I like that both are Italian, as my mum's of Italian heritage. The girl's middle name will be Marie either way, it's my sister's middle name and my Nonna is Maria. I like middle names to have some family meaning. Even tho Marie is a popular middle name, I think I'll still go with it. My DD's middle name Liana, from mum, her name's Liliana.

[PinkLily]

Love hearing all these name suggestions! There's some really great and unique names :thumbsup:

Since this pregnancy I also love the name Sienna :) The only thing is that it is very popular at the moment... Arielle is on our list too.

[kirra]

Ok full name is picked out.

Maggie Kiara Flanagan....... :yelclap:

[YacinesMommy]

Kirra - maggie kiara sounds so pretty, I love it. I only wish we could come up with a name now.
Teena - Thanks for the Ariella suggestion I told Dh and he said nope too many syllables (SP?) I'm still trying to get him arround cause I think it sounds really nice
with the middle name. Ariella Christa-Marie

[farmmummy]

Kirra - I love it! Not that you need my approval :laughing: (sorry sore point atm). Love Maggie I'm sure bub is going to be as beautiful as the name.

[SpudBoy]

hey all we finually got a 1st boys name picked but dh wont let me say! grr! we will know on monday wot sex bub will be if jelly bean lets us see. lol.

[kirra]

Hahaha anth didn't have much choice i have liked both names for awhile told him so and its his choice what order it goes into :p But he is very surprised at maggie as it's something special to remember his mum by but he has his doubts as him and his family are huge collingwood supporters and they will think she is named after collingwood :laughing:

oh well we can deal with that for a few days its only his oldest brother who will never change his mind on that.

[KrissyM]

for a girl we have jacinta paige, sherridon jayne or teya laren. for boys we cant agree on anything i want blair lucas or ashley james but dp thinks they are girls names and we cant use them for a boy. i really like curtis and cooper but dp last name starts with a ch and they just sound wrong together, i really hope this bundle is pink otherwise i think it will be nameless forever lol

[*Chels*]

I keep changing my mind about names!!!
I was loving Archer(Archie)and was pretty set on that but there is another name I love,and when I had my scan,it immediatley popped in my head so we have it set in stone now!
Keeping it under wraps tho:D
DH like Jai,so I think that will be middle name.
If it was a girl,we had chosen Jorja Lily.

[farmmummy]

Hey for thoes thinking about unusual girls names I have one for you while laying in bed this morning I remembered I worked with a lovley lady who we all called Jan but her name was Jannan (pronounced Jan-ann-n) spelt Cannon in Turkish. My friend is a turkish/muslim/australian and one funky lady just an idea. I just have to figue which boys name I've picked that I like the most.

Nikki x

[mum2ethan]

hello all,

Well i have had my girls name picked out since i was pregnant with DS it is Talitha Jean (pronounced Tal-eeth-tha) i have only ever heard 2 ladies by that name and i just love it! and the Jean is from DPs side of the family all the females have Jean as a middle name (my middle name is Jane which is the same as Jean) and all the boys in my family (the eldest boys) have got John as middle or first name and Jean is a feminine form of John freaky!!! lol sorry im just :ecomcity::ecomcity::ecomcity: but we have to think of a boys name as a back up just in case we have agreed on Drew so far no middle names as yet...

Mel xoxox

[mum2ethan]

Ok full name is picked out.

Maggie Kiara Flanagan....... :yelclap:

I LOVE this name!!!

him and his family are huge collingwood supporters and they will think she is named after collingwood :laughing:

:laughing: thats very funny! My DP is greatly into cars he was thinking of heaps of "car" names to call the baby :rolleyes:

for a girl we have jacinta paige, sherridon jayne or teya laren. for boys we cant agree on anything i want blair lucas or ashley james but dp thinks they are girls names and we cant use them for a boy. i really like curtis and cooper but dp last name starts with a ch and they just sound wrong together, i really hope this bundle is pink otherwise i think it will be nameless forever lol

I also LOVE these names i had Cooper on my list of boys names but DP hated the name... and the surname will start with C as well.

[Lilys*mummy]

We have one boys name picked and it is Cohen. We absolutely love it! :D. We both think it's a boy anyway.....
We have a couple of girls names picked, they are Ava and Chloe. DH is leaning more towards Chloe though.

[Twiglet]

I love Cohen

[Lilys*mummy]

I love Cohen
Thanks! I love that it's not that common. But than again, I'll probably hear it more now that I like it, KWIM........:rolleyes:

[loulousmum]

Love Maggie as well!

We've been narrowing down the names now that we know it's two girls. We want to make sure that the names sit nicely with Louella Violet and Archie Patrick, so we keep trying to say the list...Louella, Archie, Name and Name!

I also like the Chief Justice, Prime Minister and Dr test. If the name doesn't work after any of these titles, maybe it's not a name destined for success!!!!

If Archie had been a girl, he would have been Harriet (shortened to Hattie) - so we're pretty sure that will be one of the names. The other names I'm toying with are: Edie (my great grandmother who was a twin), Beatrix (always loved it and works well with Harriet) and Quinn (very old fashioned but again, works well with Harriet - DH doesn't like it though).

I'm thinking floral names as middle names as Louella has Violet and it might be an easy way to choose. Each of the girls will also have a second middle name from my side of the family. Archie and Louella have them as well but the second middle name really becomes silent.

Have also found out that these babies will send us onto a second medicare card!!! Wonder who will get booted onto second card to be the odd one out!!

[jilavre]

We're having trouble with girls names too!
We both seem to like the unisex or masculine options for girls - although it might end up being unpopular family-wise we'll probably end up with Elliot for a girl...

And both my husband and I have definite tastes for boys names, but aren't quite agreed on a name yet (the war is ongoing and it'll be a battle of wills) :)

But I don't think we'll really know until we meet the little person!

[naebie]

I still have no idea of any names! If I have a girl, her middle name will be my mum's name (Donna), but we are so undecided on a first name, or on any boys names. I suggested using DP's dad's name (Gregory) as a middle name, but DP didn't really have much to do with him growing up, and so isn't sure if he wants to carry on his name.

Normally the youngest child gets placed on their own card, simply because all of your existing family has a corresponding number assigned already. So which ever twin you put 2nd on the form will be on a separate card! My younger brother (The 4th and last child) loved it when the medicare card expired because he was allowed to keep the old one that just had his name on it, and he felt very special!

[QueensMum]

We still have our 1 boys name left over from when we were choosing names for the twins. In our case, choosing the boys name was so much easier that the girls.

We were still arguing over girls names at 37 weeks!!!! (even though we knew it was 2 girls at 20wks)

This time around I am 100% we are having a boy so we've stuck with the good ol' favourite JACK DAVID (David is Grant's father's name and Grant's Uncle(deceased) was called J.D. so it all ties in really well).

[Ffrenchstar]

JD sounds cool!

I already said this on the other thread but we have decided on Kaelan James. The girls names that I liked were Nevaeh and Aalia:)

[YacinesMommy]

Frenchie - I love the name Naveah and it was on my list of girls names this time, but I cant get Hans round to liking it. I think we are back to square one and will probably call her Soleil Christa-Marie.

[Ffrenchstar]

OOh Soliel, I haven't heard that name in ages!! Noice!

[QueensMum]

French - I love the name Kaelan. I really like the name Callum too but my close friend called her DS that.

[farmmummy]

Sarah helped us pick out Thomas and I know Matt would like it to be Thomas Martin (martin was his grandfather) but I think Thomas Matthew is better choice. Why shouldn't his second name be after his daddy? I'm not going to tell any one until I have bub and as far as I am conserned it's non negotiable. Unless he really wants Patrick or Elliott.

Katie - Love the name heaps

[alby2508]

Well we are pretty much set on one name and thats Edward so here are our choices and combinations what do you think?? (We would probably shorten Edward to Eddie)

Ideas

Edward William and Samuel James- Eddie & Sam (DH loves this)

Edward and Billie - Eddie & Billie

Edward & Archie (I Love this combo DH doesn't like Archie:( but i'm working on him)

Edward & Thomas - Eddie & Tom

Any other suggestions ???? I obviously like the more traditional names but am open to any suggestions & ideas :):)

[loulousmum]

Hi Alby - They all sound good to me. I obviously like Archie as I have one!! But my favourite from your list is Edward and Samuel (and not because my name is Sam!) I think they sound great together. I also like Tom but it's a lot more common - but you'll always get that with the more traditional names....

Hope you are feeling well etc. with the twins. Reality is starting to set in for me....

[Twiglet]

I like Edward William

Speaking of names. We have picked ours but keeping very quiet about them as we want them like the sex to be a suprise. Well when DH told his mum she got upset. Can't win somethings

[FirstTimeMummy]

We are keeping the sex and chosen name a surprise too. We have chosen the first name but are back and forth on a middle name... still lots of time to decide =)

It's funny, my Mum is the opposite - she is very adament about everything being a surprise! (which is kind of nice..)

[loulousmum]

My mum is very sneaky and last time around managed to get a very innocent 2 and a half year old Louella to tell her that the new addition was going to be 'Archie'. This time we're telling LouLou that we will call the twins Jemima and Mica (from playschool) - not our names but still quite plausible....we'll see if mum can help herself!!!

[Electric Mumi]

Our short list for our lil girl at 38 weeks is still...

Saige
Milla
Storm

[kirra]

I love milla and saige is fab I really like that name a little different.

Not too sure on storm sounds more masculine or is that cause its a male name from bold and the beautiful.

[PrincessT]

Mon - I like Saige too!

[becca022]

Milla is a beautiful name.
We're still going with Ella Lorraine Lee.:smiliedance:

[Electric Mumi]

Yeh Ive decided to scrap STORM. Fact of the matter is, she may be really a placid feminine girly girl and STORM would prob not fit that persona!

Pretty sure we will stick with MILLA...:yelclap:

[BazzasMum]

Moni - What about Milla Saige? Nice combo and you get to use both of them!!

For a boy I have Ryan Christopher. That's it. Have NOTHING for a girl.... can't get into that mindset. Going to be in deep doo-doo if this kids comes out with girly bits!! :laughing:

[Electric Mumi]

Kirsty: Geez girl u better have a back up girly name just in case!!

Bubalicious is gona have my mums name as her middle name..so will be MILLA DIANNE. Saige does sound better...but gee how often do we really use our middle names anyway!

[butimacheerleader]

Milla is a lovely name!

My lil man still does not have a name.

[myusernamewoohoo]

I think we have aname that we are going to go with its
Abby roisin
roisin is irish its said like this rosheen


pen:)

[kelly2781]

ive got Jayden James (for the moment) might change when i have him :laughing:

[Janeep]

Hi

we are having a little girl next week via c'sec and we have decided to call her Olivia Grace, if our second child was to have been a boy he would have been Thomas Isaac.
