We have a very "ethnic" last name~McFarland. Therefore, I have a Sean Patrick and Rachel Kathleen.

I kind of like Andrew Christopher, however my husband is adamant about the baby being a junior so if it's a boy the name will be Michael William. The girl name I have picked out my husband dislikes, it's Vivian Francine, which is named for my mother and his. I may have to rethink the girls name.

We broke a rule when we named our DS--the rule is to take the middle names of each grandfather and create a new name for the son. I just couldn't see having my DS go through life as Ralph Raymond!!! So, we named him James after my husband, but hadn't picked out a middle name, so after his birth we decided on Nicklaus after my husband's favorite golfer. Then, after we get home, my DH states "I don't want a James Jr in the house" so we've called him Nicky since then. No big problem, but he started middle school this year and the teachers practically refused to listen to him when he said his nickname was Nicky, so we call him Nicky but everyone at school knows him as James. (Hence why I wish we had named him Aiden James, besides it rhymes kind of like my DD's name Dana Jayne).

Hmmm.... How about Nash? Eli, Hayden and Nash. I like that, and Nash works for a kid and a grown man. They are all soft and flowing on the tongue and yet, they are all sturdy, manly names.

My son is Alec, and it's always worked well for him (he's 12). I think it will be a good adult name too. I think it means warrior, protector. He's very athletic, and sweet to his mom.

Mary - you ever decide?

This thread keeps coming back up, so I guess it's a sign to put in my thoughts. Hayden and Eli were on my boy name list, so we must have similar name taste. I ended up naming my son Cooper. I love the name, it is different, but not too out there, and flows with your other names. I wanted his middle name to be Nash, but we gave him a family name. Good luck.

We're naming our son Erik, but I also like Nicholas, Aiden, Caden, Braeden, Jaxson, Shaun. We haven't been able to decide on a middle name lol.

I have a Xander, Trenton (called Trent) and Evan Good luck on deciding! Very exciting to have twins!

Mythology is where we got the name for our second child-our son, Raiden. DH called my tummy "Thor" during my pregnancy, in hopes that the masculine name would produce him a son. (Our first was a girl.) When we found out he was a boy just a few weeks before I delivered-I decided on Raiden, because of him being the Japanese "God of Thunder" whereas Thor is the Norse God Of Thunder. So, essentially, we did name him "Thor".

Our baby's first middle name, Phoenix, is because of the magical bird. It, and the second middle name, is in tribute to my deceased grandmother, Geneva Tyree. I like to imagine her as the Phoenix bursting into flames, and Saber as the baby rising from the ashes. It makes my heart happy.

We're expecting our third boy, and we chose Simon. Our other two boys are Isaac Jason and Xander Bryce. I also like Monty.


Eta: bwahahahaha! This is my first time back to the forum in a long while and I see my ticker (it said 139)...ummm yeah, I'm up to 175 with this pregnancy, and only at the half way mark.

As I say, every time, this kid better be 70 pounds or I have some 'splanin' to do. LOL

I'll throw in my 2 cents....my favorite boy names were Cade, Edward, Gavin, and William. I had a girl, though...Carys Elizabeth.

Mary - how about Hayden, Eli and Rory?
