Name game.....

[MommyWishes4]

For a girl, we're going with Katherine. Undecided with middle names so far, was thinking about Lilly.

For a boy, we're going with William after DH. Not sure about middle name yet, I want something original and he sorta wants to put his own middle name in (but I REALLY want a different middle name, so...)

Aw I love this thread!

We're at the moment loving:

Girl - Alice Monica (Alice because we love it, Monica was my Nan's name she passed away in 2007)

Boy - Samuel James (James is DH's middle name)

other names we like are - meghan, tabitha, Matilda, genevieve. Sebastian, nathaniel and Reuben.

 

[Annamumof2]

here are the names we was going for before i fell pregnant

Girls: Shayla, Keira, Alexis
Boys: Cain, Kaden, sheldon

but now i have changed my mind because of the names i hear around the school and friends that i have gone for just a simple boy and girl name for the mean time

 

[CMarie]

I love all these names especially Shayla That's adorable!

For us we have (although we're still arguing about it haha):

Girls: Peyton Eve (Eve is after my grandmother) or Savannah Grace

Boys: Talic Knight (I'm not a fan, but DH is for some weird reason...), Liam Knight, or Raine Dieder (after DH's grandfather)

For some reason I have a STRONG gut feeling we'll be having a girl though
