Tara, what about Poppy as a first name... hmmm I like that - will throw that atmy DH - he hasn't liked any of the bludy names I've suggeted... including my beautiful Angelina

This baby will be named something 'uneventful' like Jane... he likes that...

Previously I have liked 'Jon Marie' - so I'll probably end up with Jane Marie

I do like it, just worried it's a bit too "soft" for a first name? I was kind of hoping our little girl would be a tough little cookie like her Mummy :p

Tingles

03-05-2007, 12:59

I emailed DH - as I normally do with my baby names...

'Poppy'

He replied - Goes the weasel!! Ha!

He is such a SH-IT head!!!

In re: Jon Marie - he said, WE ARE NOT FRENCH! *BangHEAD*

ETs mum - love your avatar - is that a beagle I see? I love beagles - they are soooo cheeeeky!

I love Poppy too Tingles, and DH loves it too - but a friend of ours' dog is called Poppy so its out for us. Tell your DH you want to be french for this baby re: Jon Marie!! LOL

Tara - dont give up your LOLA, la la la la Lola, La la la la Lola.

I am also suggesting Lucy for anyone who wants a girls name - I think its sooooo sweeet.

DP likes Laura, what do you think of that?

I love Rio for a girl, it is so cute. My beauticians little girl is called Rio. (The only other one I know is Rio Ferdinand and Soccer player in the UK.!!) A spanish name is lovely, when it is said with a spanish accent and they roll the RRRRR...YUM!

I like Laura. I had Alorah and Elorah on my list... but I think it is running about 4th now.

I kept thinking Rio sounded like a soccer players name!!!

I love James, it is Kyles second name. It sounds good with most names. I don't like Jay all that much, I am a bit like your hubby! I also like George as a second name. Does it have to be a family name? We choose James cos it went well with Kyle!

ETsMum

03-05-2007, 19:46

No it doesn' t have to be a family name - it is just that we've come up with nothing and I'm trying to start somewhere. DP rejects everything... he's sure it is a girl...

04-05-2007, 05:44

I've been trying to pick a boys middle name. I've looked at my family tree and they all seem to be William, James or John. Now... no offence to anyone, but, I don't like William and I think John is boring (but I might still choose it if I get desperate). I like James, and it is on DP's side too, but DP's nephew has that for his middle name - so same generation and all that.... So, I am thinking about using Jay. What do you all think of Jay? DP says it is an initial or a letter of the alphabet not a name...

I like Will for a boys name, could you compromise and shorten William?

MammyMammy

04-05-2007, 13:52

Oh i wanted to Go "Will" for a boy, but Mark wasnt sure about it. I love Will! Reminds me of Will Hunting....

sorry you felt unloved re: middle names - hugs for you :hugs:

can you post a pic/photobucket thingy of lil kirra the beagle...i am dog-mad can u tell?

It sounds like Miss Bug is going to sweep a few august boy babies off their feet if she is a RIO...its a HIT!

I liked Lucy but i wanted to share it because we arent using it (long story but the short version is my BF wanted to use it and right at the BIRTH her hubby said NO.... so i cant go stealing it now....she still LOVES Lucy!!!)

Hey Tara - I love Tan's suggestion of Rio Scarlett. It was the first thing I thought of when I read your post. (Matches quite well with Tara too don't ya think?) Sorry mom2bee, but Rio Coco reminds me of Rio Tinto. Isn't that a mining or steel company or something like that?

Scarlett - I love! Was on my 1st name list at one point.
Allega - was also on my 1st name list but DH doesn't like it.
Star - love it! funny, there is a bit of a star theme happening in the nursery too ...

I was thinking about "Bella" yesterday ... what do you guys think?

Rio Monet, and you could use that little thing on top of the E...u know this thing `
What is that called? The thing that makes names sound french:laughing:

I just said the whole name out loud...it sounds so sweet...

I liked it for Ava Monet, but DH poo-hooed it...this coming from someone who suggested Ruby (SOHO)
Sorry, if i offended anyone who likes the name Soho...:p

With +/- 7 weeks to go we still are no closer to picking a boys name.
I'm still like Alec & Finn and Angus likes Patrick & Flynn.
But even those names we both only like- not like our girl's choice or last time with Hugh- where we were absolutely sold and loved the names.

So if I was to have a girl it would be really helpful!:laughing:

xpress2

16-06-2007, 11:20

16-06-2007, 12:43

Thanks Hayley-
it's not that I don't like Flynn, I just don't want it for my baby's name-IYKWIM?

The worst thing is if I have a boy I can't see him being named straight away which means we'll get lots of suggestions from my Mum & m-i-l:rolleyes:
But you never know- if he's a he- he might pop out and we just 'know' what to call him straight away!:fingerscrossed:

ETsMum

Alex and I haven't discussed names since our 20 week scan! :laughing: We still have our list of 3 but only got to N in the baby name book (although one name starts with a T...heard it and liked it) before we got bored.
It's funny cause with Emily we discussed names ALL the time....even when we had it down to our final 2 names, we still threw other options out there.

alena

16-06-2007, 16:45

This baby naming is such a challenge! I also like Finn (more than Flynn), I have friends with a little girl called Finley (not sure on sp).

We have just encountered a funny situation - our top girl name is Jasmine, would be shortened to Jazz. My parents have a poodle called Jazz (short for Jasper) and we are buying a Honda Jazz. DH says we will have to start listening to jazz if this continues :laughing:

greengables

16-06-2007, 16:48

eek! I am really struggling with names too. We have 1 option for a girl, and have no boy names at all!

Areca

16-06-2007, 21:00

I went through the baby name book this afternoon and only found one other name I'd add to the list. DH isn't sure about it so we might just be sticking with our 3 names unless he decides he likes it, then we'll have 4.

I had 3 boys names picked out last time (I was so sure I'd have a family of boys before falling pg) but I only like one of them now so I need to find at least on emore we agree on JIC. I have to have my options...just one name isn't enough!

Lucky for us any girls we have won't have middle names so that makes it easier (DH doesn't have a middle name and loves not having one so he didn't want his children to have them). The boy's names we did have picked all had grandfather's names as middle names. We just like the names so that will stay if we do have a surprise, providing we like boys names that go with them. If we don't they'll be scrapped!

Hello All,

Kazza and ETs mum - we are in the same boat, needing to find names for both sexes - it would be so easy if we didn't know anyone!!! We can sort of agree or at least come to a compromise on girls names but boys names are completely useless as DH was in the army he knows someone with just about every name i come up with and won't use the name. It is so frustrating.

So I have a boys name I would like opinions on:

Waylan What do you think - it could be spelt other ways as well????? You won't offend me in any way I just want honest opinions please. Oh yeah and the middle name would be James as well.

Thanks

Have you found with girls names they agree quite easily, then when it comes to boys names its a completely different story?

Ally Jane

18-06-2007, 20:43

definatly!we have so many girls names we agreed on.....someone has gotta give in with the boys name....ill have to bribe him i think

Areca

18-06-2007, 20:47

We are such opposites! Boys name we agree on faily easily...girls name we are hopeless. I think that boys are so much easier to name, I'm not that big a fan of many girl's names.

We have the issue that whatever we go with has to sound nice in Spanish too and can't mean something ridiculous. Like years ago, before we really planned on having kids I loved the name Tia and DH said staright away 'yeah, I'm not ringing my family and telling them we called our kid aunty.' Other names he suggests I just can't even pronounce properly and then there's the issue of me not liking the way it sounds with the Argentinian accent etc.

As far as Waylan goes.....sorry not a fan. It's too much like Wayne to me and I don't like the name Wayne either (sorry to anyone here that does!)

MammyMammy

18-06-2007, 21:51

We are SET on 4 names now, which is a great relief.

I am not sharing, as I am just funny about it, but I did want to share my joy that my two boy and two girl names are narrowed down!

We love both our girls names equally, and we'll see what happens when we SEE our bubba...and with out boys names we have decided that because they are similar, one is the softy version of the other, so we'll go by whether we have a softie boy or a robust boy....(from what one could tell in the first couple of days of baby!)

So we're wrapped because we know that we're definitely getting either a Boy or a Girl and thats for sure!!!!

I hope you are all starting to narrow names down! Good luck

19-06-2007, 08:12

Boys names are definantly the hard ones for us. We can always compromise on girls names and can agree but not boys names they are just so much harder. It is so annoying. DH always says: yeah that name is okay for a boy when he is still a kid but not when he is an adult, it is so frustrating. DH keeps saying - we have plenty of time to make the decisions there are still 9 weeks to go!! Well that isn't working with me, I can't even get him to agree that any names are okay - not good but okay for boys as he doesn't like any and there are 30 on my list for him to look at! Not good!!

mom2jake

Lots of names Angus won't have cause "I went to school with a guy called that and he was a jerk" etc

Sorry Trendy, not too keen on Waylan either! But i like Hunter. :thumbsup: my DH would never go for any names like that though!

Tara: my Dh is the same - doesn't like any suggestions for names that I throw at him but can't suggest any alternatives for boys names. Frustrating. I think we might just leave the boys names and concentrate on girls. I have definate favourites and DH has said he doesn't mind a couple of them.

Our middle names are solved which will be: May (my mums middle name) if it is a girl and James (my dads middle name who passed away when I was only a month old). DD (Zahli) has DH's mums middle name so this time we decided the middle name would come from my family. So that is all we have agreed on!! And that wasn't really open to much compromise on my behalf!!

We are waiting to meet her before we decide :yes:

I love Georgia - DH is not a big fan as it is quite popular around us at the moment and at DD's school in the pre-school class there are 3 Georgia's all spelt differently!! I like all of your names that you have chosen.

I just love it, dh actually suggested it when i was pregnant with Tahlia but i didn't like it that much then, then when i fell pregnant this time he said NO i don't like it anymore.

When I was pregnant with DD the winter olympics were on or getting close - don't know where, but they were featuring the skiiers and other athletes and they had Zali Steggell (hope that is spelt right) and DH just said that's it that's the name I like and it stayed. We had 2 girls names and just had to wait till she was born to see which one suited and it was Zahli. I am really happy with her name - we get alot of comments on it and we have actually met about 4 other Zahli's as well. I don't know what it means though as it hasn't been in a names book that we have seen. We just added the H into her name so that it was spelt different. Glad you liked it.

19-06-2007, 11:51

Tan, Payton is actually the name we have picked out.. thinking of spelling it Peyton though. I'm still not an absolute 100% sure on using it cause it doesn't go with my last name at all...Will more than likely stick with it if we come up with nothing else in the next 8 wks.

We have definitely decided on Rio for our little one. Just can't agree on a middle name - actually, DH doesn't like anything I suggest but hasn't come up with any suggestions himself :banghead: . So, I have told him to come up with something or she isn't having a middle name!!!

I even bought little R-I-O letters from Bunnings yesterday which I'll paint for her room ... awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ... :p

Tara - i made a suggestion for Rio's middle name, but you may have missed it because you have been off having fun being a SAHM :yes:

Anyhoo it's MONET (like the painter)

Rio Monet Neisler...I think it flows really well, if im pronuncing your surmane correctly

Kev and I decided to not share our names with family or friends...

Because we're not finding out the sex I talked Kev into letting us share with a select few and I have to say it was the worst decision of my pregnant life:yes:

We get opinions and "I prefer" or "have you thought of" or "you can't call him that, he will get teased"....

To be honest...I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ALL THINK..THIS IS OUR CHILD AND WE'LL NAME HIM OR HER WHATEVER THE **** WE WANT....:thumbsup: (swap finger for middle one)

So now we aren't sharing:no:

:banghead: Has anyone else had this....

Mom2bee we are on the same wave length this morning - I was trying the 'revive' a baby names thread but each time I did it crashed!!!:banghead:

ATM our baby name is 'JonMarie Elizabeth'

Everytime I speak to my mum I get - I like Mary... 'Princess Bluddy Mary'... (no offence if you are a bubhubber Princess M)...

Oh and Mary Kate...

WTF!

After we named our #2DD 'Ellie Rose' a :devil6: evil relative kept suggesting other names WTF!!! (my uncle - someone with no bearing on our baby name choice!!!)
She has a name!!! He actually told us he didn't like her name, and it would have to GROW on him... it no longer has to grow on him as we no longer see him:p

04-07-2007, 09:23

I know, seriously...

My mum yesterday said eeewwww thats a dogs name...(says she who wanted to call her dog Ruby, Sydneys top 5 baby girls name:confused: )

And a friend of Kev's, girlfriend (or shall I say his weekend shag) said "Mac....He'll get I-Mac" WTF:confused: ..."who are you anyway"....

BTW...I love your name:yes:

mcb

04-07-2007, 09:36

We've been having this problem- my family especially- every name we come up with they can't get their heads around it. In some ways I wish we had kept the names to ourselves but at the same time it's been good getting peoples feedback too.
Anyway we now have a list of 3 for a boy:
Ronin
Corbyn
Seth
We hope that the little man will come out looking like one of these on the day:thumbsup:.

Oh and i love Ruby!!!!!!! Why is it that all the names i like are the really popular ones, i didnt know they were popular when i put them on our list...at one stage we were going to go with Charlotte Ruby, then i found out that Charlotte was the 2nd most popular name for last year :crying:

Oh and BTW, who would ever think of I-MAC??????? EEJIT

Next time we wont be sharing our names...i got fed up with all the negativity...even from my mum...NOT ON!!!!!

Imisschampagne - we were gonna go Charlotte too - but yes too popular... maybe it was Charli from hi5? that made it so popular:confused:

Mom2bee - re: IMac - I said to DH whats an IMac (thinking of an Ipod)... I would think he would get Macca from his mates - I think he would be really 'popular':yes:

And Ruby, I like this one too - I couldn't imagine a dog being called Ruby - My team at the hospy is called 'Ruby':D

Last time round we only told immediate family our name choices and told them to not tell anyone. Well my mum didn't like any of our girl's names and kept telling us that she didn't like it. Seriously, have your opinion and then shut up! We only need to hear it once. Then, even after telling them to not tell anyone I found out both my parents and my sister were telling people that lived far away and so wouldn't be able to tell anyone else. I wasn't telling strangers in the street that I was never ever going to see again so I was not happy Jan!

This time round, my mum is the only person who knows our name choices and that's only cause after I got up her about being so bratty about our names and then telling other people she promised that she wouldn't do it again and apologised profously!
Not even my dad knows the name choices (funny cause my p's are happily married) and my sister never even bothered to ask this time...just asked how many were on our list cause she knows I'm not telling her.
I only told my mum incase we were missing something and had a name that would cause our daughter to be teased forever and she's been very good at just stating her opinion once (it was a simple 'I prefer those two name choices, but in the end it won't matter if you name her the third choice cause I'll still love her and then name will grow on me'). A big turn around from my mum who every single person she spoke to last time 'one name they have picked is soooooo common and boring and the other is different but I don't like it, have any suggestions for them?'
Guess what...we chose the boring and oh so common name and she loves it!
The only comment I got after Emily was born was from my uncle (and it wasn't even to me, but to my aunty and then we all laughed later) who said 'why didn't they call her Emily Rose? I really like Emily Rose' and even after my aunt explained that she doesn't have a middle name, just like her dad, and has a difficult last name he still kept saying 'I like Emily, but Emily Rose is sooo pretty.' I was actually laughing at his comments!

Thanks Nic - but we have agreed on a middle name !!! I told DH he had to decided or a) I would decide; or b) she wouldn't have a middle name ... and he has chosen Poppy (what he used to call his grand-dad). I am very happy with Rio Poppy as our little girls name :yes:

We have not told ANYONE our name choice (except for you gals - and DH would kill me if he knew I was discussing it on here :o ) so TOO BAD if they don't like it. They can call their kids what they like and we'll do the same. If people keep asking we tell them we are calling her "Baboushka" and they shut up pretty quickly;)

Our beautiful little french bulldog is called Ruby and it suits her to a T! I always sing that song to her "Ruby-Ruby-Ruby-Rubbehhhhh" :laughing:

I love all your name choices ladies and TBH as long as you and your DH love them and they have meaning to you, then that is all that matters !!!

Tingles

05-07-2007, 16:52

That's beaut Tara - I love Poppy (that was one of your name choices in the begining, I think):yelclap:

We're still tossing up names:o

Livy

05-07-2007, 17:43

I love most of the name suggestions - I love really different names :yes:

We too have given up telling people our choices cos there is always someone who screws their nose up. It would be a really boring world if we all liked the same names I reckon.

So I say stuff everyone else as long as you and you DH like the names you have picked then it's all good :thumbsup:

Hi Nikki,

Tara i think Rio poppy sounds just gorgeous :thumbsup:.

Jamb i have probably already said it but i love lilla it is very pretty :).

We haven't told anyone our name choices, so it will be a suprise when bubs is born.

I cant get to grips with how some day soon we'll stop calling our baby :

the baby
bubbah
bubs
baby in my tummy
baby button
tadger (we're not calling it that at alllll anymore because we found out it means ****!!! OMG)

and then from one day it will be known by a REAL NAME

well spin me out!

Now that we know it's a girl we have decided on Emma Rose.

Renee is really nice though - oh well.

06-07-2007, 20:15

WTF:confused:

Tell her you're pregnant and hormonal and don't need to hear neg comments about the name you have choosen:yes:

Or until the baby is born tell her you've changed your mind and you're going to call the baby after her:laughing: :laughing:

Tingles

07-07-2007, 08:04

BTW she offers names like F-ing

Christie

Jennifer

Melissa

Everyone, relatives, friends... You name it, refers to him as "peanut"... Too cute! :D

I'm going down the Ruby path now!!!

WE LOVE THE NAME RUBY

07-07-2007, 18:43

Have been playing the song Ruby (by Dion)... off and on today... driving DH nuts:rolleyes:

Thinking... Ruby Jean

Did like Ruby Star (and so did DD#1)... it's actually a type of echineca (sp?)... but kinda reminds me of a Porn Star kinda name:laughing:

... just did a google on the name... there's a horror story writer by the same name... great:rolleyes:

If we have another girl, she will probably be a Ruby :yes:

i think we have decided,we will probably call our little man Brodie James.....boys names are so hard to choose!

You are soooooo right about boys names...They are sooooo hard:yes: :yes:

Hayles - my mum calls her "Pistache" which is french for Peanut ... very cute :)

Ruby is a great name ... we were kind of bummed we used it on our puppy as we would have used it for our little girl.
Tingles - is Jean named after someone? Otherwise Ruby Jane could be cute ....?
Tell her you're calling her Baboushka ... that always works at shutting them up :laughing:

Ally Jane - I love Brodie!

I found boys names much easier actually ... we had 3 names we loved straight away - tooks us ages to decide on a girls name!

I was reading a book yesterday with birthstones and flowers and the poppy flower is the flower for August ... what a cool coincidence!!!

i like the first 2, i prefer zachary with names that are more than 2 syllables, flows better for me. hope that makes sense!

MammyMammy

10-07-2007, 08:19

We have chosen Zachary for our boys name but are struggling over a middle name.

So far we have gotten it down to 5 names, we both love the top 2 and like the rest

(Top 2 so far)

*Zachary Harrison Gee* (DH's top pick)

*Zachary Dean Gee* (My top pick)

Zachary Cooper Gee
Zachary Noah Gee
Zachary Ethan Gee

Any opinions / suggestions??

I think that Zachary sounds perfect with Harrison and Cooper. Just a thought though, Harrison is such a great name - are u sure you are willing to 'waste' it (ie - if you have a 3rd bub) on a middle name

I love hearing mums say "Zach" at the playground....its sooo funky....

spunkyboysmum

10-07-2007, 08:45

Mammy- I know Excactly what you mean by using Harrison!!! I have been thinking that we may have a third bub abd it is VERY likely we will have a boy (I have 3 brothers and DH has a brother (no sisters) so it is a very boy orientated family! and Harrison is the only other boys name REALLY I like for a first name is Harrison.

The reason we are concidering it as a middle name is that I have an issue with the nick name Harry ....I HATE IT!!!! (sorry to all the Harrys out there!) and I just dont think I could deal with people calling my son Harry. I know it sounds CrAzY but it is driving me nuts so DH suggested using it as a middle name.

Thanks for the opinions, Its really great to hear what other people think:)

MammyMammy

10-07-2007, 09:18

oh, I am the opposite - think of a lil man, say age 3....called Harry...oh i could eat him up!

But if you dont like it, you dont like it and that is that......

I would say that you then should use it as a middle name, and then you can pretty much guarantee that it will "stay" as Harrison

MammyMammy

10-07-2007, 09:20

or,,,,,you could "save" harrison for b#3....just insist that he be Harrison and not Harry

I am a Deborah and my parents always insist that I am ABSOLUTELY NOT a Debbie.....and I totally reinforce it - I hate when people call me DEBBIE....

People love to shorten names, but they really shouldnt unless asked! yah!

niesl_bug

10-07-2007, 09:35

Kellie - I like Zachary Cooper :)

Good luck with the decision making !!!

I am with you girls on the shortening of names. My mum hates it when people call me "Tarz" (I don't mind it though) ...

Super Trooper

10-07-2007, 10:51

Hehe i have a friend who is the opposite... her name is Jillian, but she hates it and insists she is most definately 'Jill' :laughing:

We call her Jillaroo, then sometimes Jillar**ter, and then R**ter, She loves it! :laughing: :laughing:

deb1234

10-07-2007, 11:06

Kellie, I like Cooper as a middle name :) I like Carter too.
Isaac was Harrison for the first few months of this pregnancy, but like you we didn't really like Harry. We are happy with people shortening Isaac to Zach though if that happens.

Deb - don't you HATE it when people call you Debbie?! Deborah seems to be one of those names that people feel they can shorten without asking. Even when i introduce myself as DEBORAH people still say...so, Debbie....GRRRRRR

exactly. I want to smash those people. I dont shorten other peoples names unless invited, so what makes them think they can "Debbie" me???? I always correct people straight away, even if it seems impolite, i'd rather get it out early than be called Debbie and CRINGE....hehehe

10-07-2007, 12:02

....and while I am on my Hiiigggghhh-Horsey, what is so short about Debbie anyway? Its two syllables, so they may as well use a tiny bit more effort and go for 2.5 by going for "Deb-or-rah"
