The Name Game

I know it's still early in our pregnancies, but have any of you settled on names? From the other post I know most of us have to wait until November until our gender u/s, but I was just curious. DH and I have been throwing a few out there, but we haven't settled on any as of yet. :)

We arent definite on anything yet but we've been stuck on the name Lily since day one (after my bf's gram whose raised him & is named elizabeth but has always been called lily/lil) or Eily to make is a little different. & we like the boy name Grey but want something longer. I have a feeling we wont really decide will we find out what we are having though.

BradyAm.. I LOVE the name Shamus!  I'd never heard the name until I moved out to the east coast of Canada (huge Irish background here).. great pick.

We're settled on:

Girl - Aurora Sage (yeah.. my screen name was chosen faarrrr in advance.. haha)
Boy - Royden Jarvis

So, the stories behind these choices..   Short forming both first names gives you Rory and Rora.. just so that they have a good reason to hate me.. hahahaha!  

Aurora has always been a fave of mine... and the Northern Lights have always been seen right around my birthday on the years where I've been back home in Northern Ontario.. I love them (Aurora Borealis).. and sage just because we're both chefs and wanted to have a great reference in there.. plus I love that it means wise.

Royden is a common boys name on my paternal side... usually a middle name that gets used as a first.. and it was my fathers, who passed last fall.  Jarvis is DH's favourite grandfathers name, who passed a few years ago... andddd I love that name as well.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's picks!

For a girl we've decided for sure on Kayleigh Patricia. We haven't settled on a boy's name yet though. We know the middle name will be David for DH's brother (he died 8 years ago) but we haven't decided on a first name yet.  I like Aiden, but its SOO popular right now.  We also both like Kieran, but we haven't decided 100% on that. It will be Irish though, whatever we pick.

hubby's nake is Shamus so were going to either have a Shamus or Dublin James for a boy. but for a girl we cant really agree on anything. I like Kaylee or Jennifer, he likes Brittan (hate it!)

GOD NO!!! Hubby and I do not agree on anything. He wants Matthew and I want Nathan, neither of us hate the others choice in names but we CANNOT agree.

I like Olivia, and he does too but I know I will call her Liv or Livy and I don't like these short forms. I am lazy for names and always shorten them. Hubby likes Taylor and I am against. We have stopped talking about names for now and will name the baby when we find out the sex in a few weeks.
