Names 101

[Dario]

Our baby is due in Feb. We haven't discussed female names yet, but I've suggested Dorian for a boy and he likes the names Liam and Cavin.

Dorian sound like dork, you have to name it Darijan, much cooler (my name)

[angel_luv]

I am not too suprised a guy started this. I just found out a week ago that I was going to be a dad again. Luckily our first child was a girl and my wife and had found several girl names that we liked. There were no male names that we really liked or agreed on. So I have been looking already to find a boy name we could both like just in case even though we don't know the sex yet. I am still looking can't find anything I like. I do have a spanish last name but don't really like most of common spanish names. I am hoping we can think of something like we did for my daughter not common but still simple.

Thanks SW.

We haven't even started debating the topic.

My wife feels like crap . . .

Boys, in the order we would use them:

Gabriel Ross
Noah Christopher
Alexander David
Matthew Scott

Girls in the order we would use them:

Gwendolyn Rose
Amelia Sophia
Olivia Abigail
Madeline Leah

Of course that was back when we thought we'd have 4 kids. A miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy later, I'm not convinced we'll have any. It's been a ty year.

Congratulations - I hope your wife feels better soon.

It's surprising how difficult it can be to name a baby! My middle son is named after my grandfather, but he almost wasn't just because my grandpa's name, while unusual for his time, is now used commonly for both boys and girls and we didn't want to seem like we were just riding the popularity wave.

I hope you are able to have a baby through pregnancy.

It would be neat if you and SFIE also adopted a kid, since the kid would win the parent lottery.

[easjer]

It's something we will look into down the road if we cannot get pregnant on our own. But adoption is expensive and there are no guarantees, and after watching my friend go through the heartache of a match and last minute change of heart/failed adoption, it's not my first choice. We are a long, long way from being able to afford a domestic adoption, or an international adoption, for that matter.

So far, everyone thinks we've just had bad luck. I hope that is true.

I believe we'll be parents someday, but I'm not feeling optimistic about our odds of it happening soon today.

There's a girl in my son's class named September.

[pkbpkb81]

my kids names are Madison (the wife picked it), Hayden, and Audrey

Don't lose the faith.

I have many friends for whom it was hard to get pregnant, but eventually hey all did.

One couple had multiple ectopic pregnancies and they finally made it two years ago.

Have faith . . .

Some days are easier than others. Today is a day.

I was lucky that the ectopic was cervical rather than tubal, because it shouldn't impact my fertility and it was discovered and treated before I could hemorrhage. And these days, I had options - even 20 years ago, I likely would have ended up with a hysterectomy.

Yesterday was a good day. Tomorrow may be too. I know we'll be parents, I just no longer know what route will take us there.

And for the love of humanity, if you have a girl, please do not name her Dackaree.

Yep, that's a real name I heard the other day. Pronounced like daiquiri, the drink.

[David Bowie]

Nah I hate that but I think it should match the last name. I saw a thread in other forum where this woman named her kid "Erika Eugene" and it made me want to punch her.

My last name is Phillips so I'd want something to go well with it.

Did you ever think it may be cultural?

My name is Veronica Arthur (and I love the name Arthur by the way)

I am Russian. And in Russian culture, you take your father's name to be your middle name.

And by the way, Eugene is a very common Russian/Eastern European name. (Although it's pronounced differently there.)

Back to the subject,

I like the name David for a boy and Nicole for a girl.
