*Name Aficionados*

Heard an amazing name lately?
Having trouble naming the new bubs?

Let's keep this thread strictly name chatter please.


Couple of questions to get this thing going...

What are your current favorite names?
Do you find yourself sticking with a certain style of name?
Boys or girls; which are easier to name?

I like classic names. Right now I'm liking Elizabeth, Lucy/Lucia and Annabeth.
They're not all necessarily classic, but it's what I like today.

I find it easier to name girls, probably because i have all girls. So when I sit around and think baby names, it usually meanders to the girl side.

I think boys are so much easier to name.

If this ones a boy he will be Colton James.

There's so many girl names I like :
Peyton
Amelia
Charlotte
Hailey
Evelyn

I like Persephone but hubby doesn't.

Oh yay  

Current names on the list:
Girls-
Alice
Emily
Matilda
Scarlet
Aurora

Boys:
Benjamin
Henry
Atticus
Vincent
Victor
George
Rhys

I like older names... hate the trendy smurf. I like way more boys names than girls. So... hoping I get boys  

Current favorite names are Silas, Rowan, Stormy, Sage, and Aurora.
I'm obsessed with nature-themed names, and my only child is named River. I want to continue the theme but I don't want it to be super obvious. I once had a dream that my son and I were taking a hike, and he introduced me to his little brother, Skye. I don't think I could handle the matchy-ness of that, but still a nice dream. Anyone else have a nature-named child? Or a nice name?
ETA: I think boys are easier to name than girls. But generally speaking, when I'm pregnant I feel like there will never be a name perfect enough for my baby.

Right now I'm IN LOVE with the name Noah for a boy. Too bad DH doesn't like it- yet. lol I have a couple years to change his mind. haha
I also like Liam for a boy.

For a girl, I love the name Sophia.

Quoting MommyToWesley:" Right now I'm IN LOVE with the name Noah for a boy. Too bad DH doesn't like it- yet. lol I have a couple years to change his mind. haha I also like Liam for a boy. For a girl, I love the name Sophia."

Those are very popular names!

Current favorites:
Harvey
Canaan
Oscar
Ophelia (nn Lia)
Charlotte (nn Lottie)

I love old names I guess. I really hate modern and unisex names. I only have ever named a boy so I don't know which is easier.

Quoting MommyToWesley:" Right now I'm IN LOVE with the name Noah for a boy. Too bad DH doesn't like it- yet. lol I have a couple years to change his mind. haha I also like Liam for a boy. For a girl, I love the name Sophia."

I used to love it too. Then the Disney Channel came out with this movie Sofia The First and they've played it 50k times, so my kids have made me sick of hearing it lol

I had a huge list of girls names, and basically no list of boy names. I basically thought, "Oh, what if it's a boy? Well, Owen is nice I guess. We'll go with Owen."

What are your current favorite names? Of course my kids names, I also like the name Abigail for a girl and Jocelyn for a girl.

Do you find yourself sticking with a certain style of name? Not really.

Boys or girls; which are easier to name? Girls, for sure.

Newest crush - Elbereth, it's from LOTR.  

Boys are way easier to name than girls, IMO. It feels like it's more "ok" for a boy to have a common, classic name that he shares with other kids than it is for a girl....weird double standard, just something I've noticed.

Right now, I am loving

Cordelia
Elbereth
Beatrix
Calliope
Madelief
Tullia

Felix
Rupert
Leopold
Theodore

I haven't been discussing boy names much. My favorites currently are Victoria, Anastasia, Helena, Vasilisa, Yuliana, Luciana, Michalina, Mariana, Theodora. I typically stick to Slavic names with Greek roots.
I'm obsessed with Greek, Roman and Eastern European.

Right now my crushes are Vasilisa and Raphaela.

i really like the girl name Aria! and i think its easier to name a girl i guess lol

I love the name Omri for a boy.
