We are pregnant with our second child and are completely stuck when it comes to names. I like using surnames as first names for boys. Any good suggestions?

We have a son, Cannon, already. We also like Grayson.


And for girls, we have nothing. I want a feminine name, and my husband wants a strong name.

I think Gunnar, for a boy but I think I'm feeling a bit motto today. I do like Grayson though.

For a girl, how about Drew? It's a strong name but I feel its really feminine.

I think the name Greyson sounds really strong. I like it. :)

You guys should think of a strong feminine name! I can't really come up with anything at the moment though. I really like the name Adrienne? It sounds really feminine to me and strong at the same time. My best friend has that name and she's an amazing hard working person. But it is a boys name as well.

Parenting.com has a good list of surnames that can be used as first names here (http://www.parenting.com/parenting/pregnancy/tools/babynamer/categories/0,19973,614468,00.html).

They also have a good list of feminine names here (http://www.parenting.com/parenting/pregnancy/tools/babynamer/categories/0,19973,633071,00.html).

The whole site is great.

For a boy, Garrett, Beckett, Jackson, Carter, or Harrison.

For a girl... I have no good ideas, sorry.

I'm no good with boys, but for girls, I love the name Avery. I think it would fit any personality, and I love love love that name. Its strong and feminine. Avery Alexandra is what I plan on naming my child.

I like greyson a lot, but dont know how I feel about greyson and cannon as a sib set. (Cannon is a really nice name!) Though, I think that after hearing the names together for a while it would grow on me.

I like Garret... and I work with a woman whose son's name is either Keating or Keaton... I like that name and he's such a good kid and i believe names carry certain personality traits! hahah good luck!

I like Burnett for the 'last name as a first.'

Sophia for the feminine and strong name. Scandinavian and Greek names are good for that.

I love the name Cannon by the way!

grayson is really nice too, although i prefer grayden... it's #1 on my boy's list :)
