Re: for fun! other sex names

It would have been Catherine Sarah (after both of our grandmothers). We would've called her Catie. I think we would still definitely use it given the opportunity.

Re: for fun! other sex names

If we had a girl her name would have been Corinne Michelle.

I am pregnant with #2 team But our girls name is not the same.

Re: for fun! other sex names

We are still planning to use our name if we have one, so I can't say!!

Re: for fun! other sex names

Landon would have been Evelyn if he was a girl.
I was planning on re-using the name but things changed....

When we found out we were having boy and girl twins, DH would ONLY consider Tyler or Travis for the boy. So Evelyn was out bc I didnt like how the names sounded together.

Travis and Kylie didn't really have back-up names bc we did not agree on names at all this time. I decided on Kylie last minute bc I could not find a name I thought went well with Landon & Travis. Other boy name DH liked was Tyler. Other boys names I liked were Elton and Oliver (DH said NO WAY to both firmly) and Jack (but too popular). Other girls names DH liked were Lexie, Isabella, and Madison. Other girls names I liked were Zoey and Esme.

Since we are NOT having any more kids I can share our names now. I was always very secretive about them.

Re: for fun! other sex names

We always said if we had a girl we would name her Valentina. We did have a girl but named her Annalia. Our boy name was Lucas. If we have another...we will still use the two we have left. Maybe!!

Re: for fun! other sex names

Cian Pearse if it was a boy

Re: for fun! other sex names

With my girls the alternate name was Conor Truman.

Since, according to DH, Conor "didn't work" (actually Conor just fell out of favor with us), we switched the boy name to Patrick Jude.

The alternate for Patrick the entire pregnancy was Eleanor Mairead. The night before my c-section, I was tossing and turning and gave much more thought to the name. IN the hospital we switched to Margaret Eileen.

If we were to have another--which we are not--we would recycle the name, I'm sure.

Re: for fun! other sex names

Logan would've been Siena if he was a girl. We honeymooned in Siena, Italy, and it holds a special place for us.

If this baby is a girl, she won't be Siena. I'm not a fan of how it's jumped up in popularity (even though most spell it with 2 Ns, like the color, not the city).

In fact, we have 4 boy names and 4 girl names ready to go for this baby (we find out 2/12), and none of them were on our list for Baby #1.

Re: for fun! other sex names

we had a boy but if we had a girl she would have been Grace (Gracie) or Hannah Elizabeth

Re: for fun! other sex names

If we had a the name would've been Hayden Alexander however, if we have a in the future while I still want Hayden I really don't care for the name Alexander (don't even know why I chose it) and would go with my initial choice for a middle name which was Parker. So Hayden Parker it would be!!

Re: for fun! other sex names

DH is dead set on naming a boy after him - Sean and I'm not a fan of the name, but he thinks we will use it.

Out other option for a girl was Daniella

Re: for fun! other sex names

We never picked any girls names. I KNEW itnwas a boy from the start. Other names on the tabke were

Carter-dh hated it
Ben- iffy for both, still love it
Charles- love Charlie, still on the table if we have another
Mason- dh was not a fan, i Love it
Brendan- this was his name, had all my notes for the hospital with Brendan on it. Chianged the night before we had ds.

Ended up with Jason, ( my first choice btw, dh was not a fan)

Re: for fun! other sex names

If we had a boy he was going to be Blake Nathaniel. Not sure if we would use it if the next was a boy

Re: for fun! other sex names

Ian would have been Chloe Alexa. But now I'm loving Emerson! And call her Eme for short

Re: for fun! other sex names

Charlie was always going to be a Charlie...so if she was a boy, we were naming him Charles. Charlotte was named after her great (paternal) grandfather.

Middle name would have been Frances (Francis? I always confuse the gender spellings of that name!), after my grandfather...or Palmer, after my grandmother (maiden name).

Re: for fun! other sex names

If Chelsea was a she would have been named Charles Kenneth.

We did not use it for our His name is Anthony John (AJ)

If AJ were a girl his name would have been Jenna Marie.

If we decide to go for a 3rd and it is a we would still use that name

Re: for fun! other sex names

We had a

The girl names DH and I really loved (and agreed on) were:

Giuliana
Serena
Zoe
Morgan

When we get pregnant with #2 (hopefully next year) , if its a girl these names will still be in the running

Re: for fun! other sex names

I did use my girl name that I had picked out when I had DS. She's Charlotte Grace ("Charlie")

If she were a boy, she would have been Andrew Mark ("Drew"). And if we ever have another girl, she'll be Theodora ("Teddy")

Re: for fun! other sex names

is Sienna Hayley.

If she was a we thought about Aidan Richard, but we never really finalized anything because I was convinced she was a girl from day one.

The other girls names that either one or the other vetoed were-Savannah, Juliana, Alexia

I was also considering Alexis, Rose or Hannah for a middle name, but I liked Hayley the best.

Re: for fun! other sex names

Our girl names:

Siena
Sierra or Ciara
Sloane
Annalise

Re: for fun! other sex names

When I was pregnant with Genevieve, it would have been Genevieve for a girl or William (Billy) for a boy.

When I was pregnant with Billy, it would have been Billy, obviously, for a boy and we still werent decided on names. DH liked Sophia, I felt it was too popular. We prob would have went with Sophie.

Charlie was going to be Charlie wether a boy or girl. Except of course, DH had to be a PITA, so she is really Charlotte. If she was a he, it would have been Charlie, not Charles.

If we have anymore, we have a definite girl name picked out that we both love. A few boys names in mind....

Re: for fun! other sex names

We were Team I had always loved the name Nadia and we had decided on that name for a girl from the first few weeks of me being PG. A few weeks before I was due, DH decided he didn't like that name anymore and vetoed it. We ended up choosing Zoe but we had a anyway. I still love the name Zoe and plan on using it in the future if I have a
