For those of you who HAVE kids... what's your childs/childrens names?
For those who are want kids or are already pregnant... what's your favorite baby names?
I'm still a couple years away from having a baby but it's constantly in my mind. If I hear a name, I think "hmm I really like that".
The one I thought about yesterday was Noah. I really like it!
I also like Ella, and Ava.
Saelah. Aidan (annoys the heck out of me that because of sex and the city everyone and their cousin is using this name!). Rigel. Ethan.
I love Willow, Sarah, and Elyse for girls; and Peter, Gabriel, and Samuel for boys.
I love Grace, Madeline, and Amelia for girls
Holt (FI's family name), Simon, and Campbell for boys
Is it sad that FH and I have already pretty much picked out the name of our son if we have one? Charles John or John Charles (after FH and my grandfather). For a girl I really like Marie or Elizabeth. Something that's a bit less current but is easy for people to spell.
My girl names will be a surprise :)
The boy names I really liked were Matteo, Luca, and Kenzo... but we did search hard for a useable nature name that didn't sound too granola-y. Boy names were really hard. Girl names were incredibly easy!
I soo almost posted this earlier this morning!
My favorite boy name is Asher because it means "happy" but my FI doesn't like it so perhaps it can be a middle name. I like Henry, Oliver, Nicholas, James, and Benjamin.
For girls, I love Sophia, Felicity, Margot, Jocelyn, Josephine, Madeline, and Caroline.
And a lot of others haha. I may or may not have name lists saved in a document for future reference. 
@littlemissmoo - I LOVE Charles John. You could call him Charlie for short :-)
@Mrs. DG - I find girls names SO easy to find and like. But it's boys names that I have a hard time with. I have a list at home going and the girls list is WAY longer than the boys.
@Amaryllis - I have Google Docs document that I update from time to time when I hear a name that I like :) I = name nerd!
@Sunshine, hehe, I totally would. Or Chuck :) FH is pushing for John Charles but I'm sure I can bring him round.
You can do more with Charles John then you can with John Charles... use that to convince him!
My boys will be my maiden name (it's a boys name) and John (my dad's name, he passed away)
I LOVE GIRLS NAMES!
My fave is Kitson but FI hates it.
After that:
Reagan
Jillian
Melanie
I think I need to update my list at home tonight!!!
Middle names will be easy for us (hopefully we have a boy and a girl). Girls middle name is my middle name. Which is also my moms and my grandma's middle name. AND my great grandmas First name.
Boys is my FI's name and his Dad's name. FI's middle name is HIS dad's name and his grandpas name.
For girls, I love Adelaide, Arabella, Audrey, Autumn, Charlotte, Emmeline, Felicity, Lucy, and Stella.
For boys, I like Max, Sebastien, Ethan, Lucas, Rory and Dorian.
I also like the name Brenna, but it would sound ridiculous with FI's last name.
Max is cute!! I also like Jack for a boys name. It's old but cute on a little guy.
Ah, I love the name Jack! I used to nanny for a family's whose 3-year-old was named Jack! Adorable!
For boys names, both FH really like the name Coleman. I liked the name Aiden, but 4 girls I graduated high school with who have had boys in the past 3 years have named their sons Aiden, so that one is out. I also like Max and Samuel for boys.
For girls, I like Ava, Ruby, Grace, Olivia, Charlotte. I like old fashioned sounding names.
I can't believe I forgot to list Charlotte. I also think Jack is adorable.
zippy -- I completely understand! My FI's last name is one syllable, long U sound, begins with a K. Luke is completely out now!
I've never thought I would have kids, but if I ever do (and that's a big IF) I would name my girl Juliet. I have always loved Sam for a boy.
There are SO many names that don't go with FI's last name. His last name ends with an N so any names ending with N just sound weird!
I really like Noa/Noah, Ava and Charlie for girls and I love Levi and Eli for a boy.
@Amaryllis- Yep My FI's name starts with a B and ends with an A, just like Brenna. It's SUPER Italian. My super Irish first name is going to sound funny with it, too. *sigh*
My daughters names are Violet (8) and Lulu (5). My sons name is Rex. My husband and I are planning on a baby this year. We will using family names, very Finnish names, for future children. My husbands fathers name was Aarne, so that will be for a boy, and his grandmothers name was Laila (pronounced Lila) for a girl. They both passed away in the last few months, so I love that we'll be honoring them.
@littlemissmoo: not at all!! Baby names was like, our first discussion after getting engaged, even though we want to wait 2 years...
Nathan or Gabriel for a boy; Lea or Emmanuelle for a girl..
Nathan is our nephews name! He goes by Nate :-)
I also really like Hawaiian names like Kai.
my husband loves samantha for a girl so he can call her Sam - I think he wants a tomboy if we have a daughter :)
I really want Arman for a boy but Mr. Tacos said it's too pretentious... he wants Dev, which oddly I'm fine with. For a girl we're divided. I love Maya, Samara, or Nadia.
So for some reason I really like names that start with the letter E. No idea why as none of my names do.
Girls: Erma (grandmother's name), Germaine (other grandmother's name), Emma, Elanor, Elizabeth, Estelle
Boys: Ezekiel (so you can call him Zeke! The hubs hates it though), Ethan, Evan, Edwin, Roman (Romie for short, grandpa's name).
For middle names we will use family names, our grandparents names, our parents names etc.
When my brother was born almost 21 years ago and my parents named him Max everyone thought they were so cutting edge, (and sort of crazy). He was always the only Max. Now everyone is naming their kids Max. It's become so common that he started using his full name, Maxime.
Although we won't be thinking about kids for a few years, we have thought about names. For a girl we like: Minka, Isla, Eliza, (pronounced E-lee-za not E-lie-za), Natasha, Corinne. For boys we like: Leiden, Dutch, Enzo, Hudson, Edison, Harrison.
Although I really want a girl, I find it way easier to find boy names I like than girl names I like.
For a girl I like : Jovie, Tipper, Elodie, Ruthie, Amelia
For a boy I like: Harper, Barrett, Colin, Parker
I have no idea what my huband likes...we are a ways away from babies!
FI and I were talking about this this morning!
Boy names:
Andrew
Oliver
Jack
...middle name will be William whatever the FN is since it's my dad's name 
Girl names:
Olivia
Amelia
Charlotte
...middle name will be Grace after my moms grandmother
The future hubby gets no say in the middle names 
I think if I have a girl I want to name her Mae after my grandmother. I also like the name Anna (not sure if it would just be anna, or maybe annabelle or something). I haven't thought as much about boy names. I'd like to pick something that would go with the middle name Thomas because that is a tradition in FI's family... grandpa, dad, and FI all have middle name Thomas. Maybe James after my mom's dad.
@bree- My neighbor just named her baby girl Harper. I love it!
@egb, I'm glad I'm not the only one! We're waiting a couple years too but FH doesn't want to be an old dad so it won't be much longer than 2 years. :)
I love how everyone has such different and unique names lined up!
my nephews name is Helix, which I love and have never heard used before.
I like:
Hudson, Lamont, Ashton, Finley, Kenley
Mira, Mirella, Honor, Aviana, Georgianna, Viletta, Camilla
I love this game!
My favorite boy name is Henry, but not sure yet what I'd pick for a girl.
Have you all discovered the popular baby name lists on the US govt's Social Security Administration website? Warning - it can cause MAJOR time suckage! You can look up the most popular names from the past 100+ years, or track the popularity of a single name over the years to see how it's risen and fallen. Very fun!
Boys Names: Athan, Gabriel, Gaetano
Girls Names: Vivian, Maria, Nancy
