Names

So here we all are...finding out the sex of our blessings. Have any of you picked the names for sure yet? DH and I have been talking about it for the past couple weeks and can't agree on anything. I fear we will never agree. We have a 10 (almost 11) year old named Sebastian. Now with a name like that we cant very well name a sibling jack or mary if you know what i mean... There are so many names out there i love but he hates, but he has names he just likes and i hate...hmmmm, such a dilema. Any suggestions out there? Right now for a boy I like Xavier, Tristan and Cassian (middle name will be blair, my husbands middle name) and for a girl I like Adalaide, Ophelia and isabella (middle name will be elizabeth after my middle name). I will take any suggestions as we have hit a wall! LOL

I have found if you keep throwing the name you love into the pile, they come around. My dh hated Tristan but I have been saying it to him  for 3 years now. Just mentioning it here and there ( we have been trying for 10 years)! And now it's like HE decided on that name... Lol! Just thought i would throw that out there that constant mentioning and subliminal messages do work to get the name you love... LOL!!

AMINOHIO~ I know how you feel! My husband cannot make up his mind! We totally agreed on Lydia Alexandra and now he is saying no all of a sudden! He says, eh, I don't like it anymore. I'm like...It was the ONLY name we agreed on! lol He likes Rebecca, but personally I wouldn't name any of my girls that only because we know waaaaay too many girls named rebecca. =/ I am so lost with my hubby anymore. At this point, I would rather be having a boy because we totally agree on those names and they have never changed. haha
I feel like I am going crazy! lol I hope we figure it out soon.

Well, I thought we had our name picked out. It was going to be Paige Anne, then it was going to be Isabella Anne. Now it is going to be Isabelle Marie. It will be interesting to see how many more times it changes between now and delivery! LOL!

So I THINk...( and I mean think) we narrowed it down to 2 names. Either Matteo or Tristan, we went through multiple websites and wrote down all the names we liked (we both had to like the name) and went from there! We will see though, there is still so much time!

Me and my DH have very different opinions about names. When I was pg with my first DS we did not know the sex and we could not agree on a boy's name. We actually took the book of baby names to the hospital and after he was born started reviewing it AGAIN. We named him 2 days after he was born, right before we left the hospital. This time around we are pg with twins. I think we have 2 girl names. No clue what we are going to do if we have 1B-1G or 2 Boys.

I love Sawyer but dh doesn't. Plus our last name starts with an R so IRS too much rrrr if we have a name that ends in an r. So far Tristan is still in the running but becoming more popular out there so not sure, Cassian is out as it is not pronounced the way you see it it is pronounced Kash-en and our angel baby's name is kashton, dh likes Keanu which is ok with me but I don't love it or Matteo we both like. Decisions decisions!

We have picked out a first name if we have a girl, Kinley, middle name either Kate or Nicole! Our daughter is Avery Jo so I think Kinley Kate would flow better.
If we have a boy I don't know what we'll name him. My favorite boy name is Sawyer but hubby doesn't like it. Middle name would be David (family name).
3 more days till we find out!

Names! This is something my husband and I have a VERY hard time agreeing on...BUT I think we are making progress!! lol

kelli...my second son, who passed away, was named Jesse, I LOVE that name so much.

For boys, we are sticking with all J names. My first son is Jeremiah James, second son was Jesse Alexander.
If we were having a boy this time around, it would either be Jason Rennick or Joel Gillespie.

BUT we are having a girl and the only name we agree on at the moment is
Lydia Alexandra.
By using the middle name Alexandra, we thought it would be a nice way to honor and remember our second son. She would always have a part of her brother's name forever. <3

Ohhhh names!!!! Talk about decisions, well i always liked isabellA so i had said if its a girl her name will be isabellA. Well my dh woke up in the middle of the night from a dream and woke me up and he said that her name was going to br DANIELLA. He called her that name in the dream. So i had no other option than to bend for it at that time of the night. He said he saw a little girl long shiny black hair... Well there goes isabella haha, but so far im just glad hes as excited as me and was able to pick her name. Im ok with that.

We're having a little girl and her name will be Paige Anne. If she had been a boy the name would have been James David and we probably would have called him J.D. Both names are after close family members.

I think Adalaide Elizabeth is just beautiful!

We have come up with a name for our little one..
At first before we knew the sex i loved uni-sex names. as in Blake , jaime, jesse.
And we chose for a girl beahany leigh. Our fist is named bella-jeene so i think  bethany and bella go well together.
But we are having a little boy so we htoyed with Joshua Scott after a very close family member who passed away a few months ago aged 37.
I liked jesse and james.
But we have decied and started calling our LO Jesse levi.
I liked levi better than lee as jesse lee soulnds like a girls name..

SO JESSE LEVI IT IS

Good luck and remember a name is a name in the end and it will always grow on you.
