Help us pick a name and vote!!!

[Tanker Chic]

DH and I are really struggling to agree on names.. we put up a board to track our ideas and allow friends and family to vote for their favorites....

Please vote and tell me what you think...

I really like Grace Elizabeth - and Allison (Ally) - I'm sure if we use Grace Elizabeth - she'll be Gracie - lol - oh well - two months to go - nothing is done and for now she remains "Frank"

Rebecka - you know I super, duper love Allison - just change it to Allyson and well, you have an Ally!!!  My Ally's an Allyson - I never wanted her to be called Ally but that's what happened over time.  Anyway, her name's Allyson Denise and I totally agree w/your mom - you carry her, you name her!!!

I love the name Ava but OMG it's so popular.  I personally blame Reese Witherspoon - LOL.  I love both Grace and Elizabeth - I love Grace Elizabeth better though than the other way around.  My best friend in 7th grade was named Gracie - she was a sweetie even though I liked calling her Grace better.

Nathan is my front runner also.. DH really loves loves loves Gehrig and I kinda like it to, but I can't get past the idea that there is a disease named after it.. I'm okay with Nathan Gehrig tho and I think DH might be okay with that too... i think it will also be good because jacob's middle name is Nolan, so then they would both have baseball middle names. I'm not a big baseball fan but DH is..

For girls my favorites are:

Miranda
Camille
Helen
Ava
Kamryn
Audrey

Ok Jenn - let's do the run down - I like old fashioned classic names - Allison is actually in consideration - funny you mentioned it - I wanted to use Kathryn with Abby and hubby vetoed - I love Emma - hubby vetoed - My latest suggestion was Grace Elizabeth - so of course hubby this morning says - how about Elizabeth Grace and then is ticked because I said Grace Elizabeth - MEN - my mom's suggestion is I carry the baby - I name the baby - preferably filling out the birth certificate when he isn't in the room - lol - guess she's Frank for a while longer

Rebecka - why didn't you say so??  I want to help!!!  Personally I like some old names that were popular in the '80's like Alexis or Megan but my kids hate them so I dunno.  Wade watched this fantasy movie recently and likes the lead girl's name called "Lyra" (pronouced lie-ra).  It's pretty but unusual.  Are you wanting a name beginning w/an "a" to go w/abby?  There's always Amanda, Allison, Amy - it depends on which way you want to go - do you want to go w/most popular or time-honored?  Like you, i always think about how it's going to sound as the child gets older/grown.  I used to like the name "Lacey" but changed my mind when I thought about a grown woman called that.  No offense to the Laceys in the world!

There's also Rachel - I love that name that's an older name but popular in the '90's.  Sara's also nice - I'm starting to sound Biblical what w/naming my own kids Rebecca and Noah.  I love Emily and Emma but again very popular.  Madison & Madelyn- super popular but pretty.  Sydney's also pretty and so is Stephanie and Samantha.  You know I'm partial to Leslie. One more name - Carolyn or Caroline - that name sticks out for me.  How about Kathryn?  Also melany?

I love picking out names - good luck! - jen

Go with Nathan - its a beautiful timeless name that is sweet for a little boy - but strong and manly when he is grown - Garrett is WAY TOO popular right now - very trendy - guarantee you that by the time he is school age he will have at least one other Garrett in his classroom - Quinn is cute and really like it - but I know several little girls with that name - hard to picture a boy with the name now - so Nathan has my vote!!!!!

Now will you suggest some names for us please!!!!  I am tired of calling our daughter Frank because we can't come up with anything !!! lol

I had a friend named Quinn growing up and he had the best personality so that has my vote.

I voted for Garrett. I think it's a great name...in fact, I may steal it! I don't know any Garrett's though, so probably not that common in California.

Hi Hannah!

I picked Quinn. I know a lot of Nathan's and Garrett's. I don't recall any Quinn's. I like the sound of it. Any thoughts on middle names? hee hee

[blessedmomof3]

I voted for Gehrig, just because I like different names.

[bny807]

i love the meaning of nathan - we were thinking of using it as a middle name if we had a boy, it means gift from God, gotta love that! :)

[PamelaBee]

Love Quinn!!!

[airforcewife]

My son's name is Nathan-so I think it is a wonderful name and I voted for it!  Can't wait to hear your decision.

I voted for Garrett-  but there is a cool ware-panther in the sookie stackhouse series named Quinn-  and I really liked him!  ;)
