Names of siblings: my angle baby is Samantha Grace
types/styles of names you prefer: feminine/girly, traditional, biblical, modern, classy, hebrew/jewish, two part names for a girl i.e. adalyn, julianne
baby's gender: not sure!
relatives you would like to honor in some way: DH's Grandma named Ruth Ellen just passed on, my grandpa David.
Other family names to consider: Ryan, Elizabeth, Michael, Aaron
names you like: for a boy, we are thinking maybe Asher David. Asher is for sure our boy first name, but I am not 100% about the middle name as it might be nice to pick an "R" middle name for DH's grandma. For a girl originally I wanted Elizabella, bc Elizabeth is a family name and I love the nn bella. But DH wasn't crazy about that so we were talking about the first name Julianne, which we both like. Now that his grandma passed DH is thinking "Julianne Ruth" which is a little too old fashioned for my taste. He would really like Ruth for this middle name, and I am not sure if I can convince him to go with a little more modern name that starts with "R" for a middle name or if I should try to find a different first name or what. Or if I just need to get used to "julianne ruth." do you have any ideas here?
We also like the name Erin for a girl, but can't agree on how to spell it.
names you don't like: chloe, phoebe, hayden/jaden/caden, boy names for a girl, names that start with "M" because our last name is an Irish sounding "Mc" name (but i do love the name Michaela, I just won't use it with our name). Things that are too common, i.e. I love Isabella, but it is too popular, I don't want there to be 5 kids in my child's class at school with the same name
baby's due date: August 20, 2011
I could really use a fresh perspective on this. Thanks!
