Hi there...I am 6 months pregnant and we are not finding the baby's sex out. I have played with the idea of a few names, but I'm particularly having trouble finding boys names I like. Our first son is Jayden Joshua. I like names that aren't incredibly popular, as my name is Amanda and I went all through school known as "Amanda P." I also don't want something so out there that my kid will get teased.
Some girl names I like are:

Layla
Eliza
Dusty (I have many people trying to talk me out of this one)

and for boys:

Jared (little too common though)
Anden (Andy for short)

Anyone have suggestions for me pleeeease? ;)

I'm an AManda too, so I'm on the exact same page as you. There were always at least two other Amanda's in all of my classes and even my step sister's name was Amanda so we had to go by our first AND middle name, and that was only around the HOUSE! Gah!

My husband's name is Andrew, which is also a fairly common name, so needless to say, we like names that are "off the beaten path." Let's just hope the names we choose won't turn into an Aidan or Kylie and skyrocket after we name our children.

Good luck!

PS~ I just peeked at your user info and saw that you live in Niagara Falls...which is where we went on out honeymoon...LOL. I just thought it was amusing that you referred to is as "living in the biggest tourist trap."
