Hi everyone!

I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant, so that makes 4w1d today. It was unplanned for, but my husband and I are thrilled to start a family early on.

Names are something that we don't agree on most of the time- we have a conversation from time to time about naming our future children. He likes strange names. He wanted to name our son (if we have one) Achilles. That's just a little too out there for me. We finally decided on Owen as a boy's name, but we don't know about middle names just yet.

As for the girl, we know we want her middle name to be Roselle, but we don't know about a first name. I'm leaning toward a name that starts with an A- like Aileen, Amelia or Alivia. I like names that can be shortened, or that have nicknames, for girls.

Given all of this...can you lovelies help me out? I need unique, but acceptable, middle names for a boy...and some ideas for a girl's first name that start with an A.

I've browsed baby names sites online, but all of it is so overwhelming to just sit down and look through.

I love your boy name pick, mostly because that is also the name my husband and I have chosen for a boy. Our first boy will be Owen Scott, the middle name being my husband's name.

My favorite girl name starting with an A has always been Arianna/Ariana and I think Arianna Roselle has a lovely ring to it =)

Congrats on your pregnancy. My husband and I just started TTC and I hope to find out soon if I'm pregnant or if we have to keep trying. ♥

Uggh I can't stand the Achilles or the other crazy Greek stuff he comes up with!! :)

Wow, I really like Hollis as a middle name.

And Aviya sounds wonderful. I hope my husband will like that. Thanks!

I really wanted to name our firstborn son after my husband- his name is Kourosh. But he said he got picked on and made fun of as a kid and he wouldn't want our son to get made fun of either. He won't even settle for it being a middle name. Boo.

Good luck TTC. I actually got pregnant while on birth control, so I feel guilty, almost, that some couples spend forever TTC. Best of luck, though, and I hope to hear some wonderful news from you soon! :)

Amelia! Amy or Amie is a good nickname.

Aurora
Amary or Amery
Abigail or Abbie
Ariella or Arabella
Audrey or Aubrey

My husband actually likes Atticus. I like it better than some of his suggestions.

Unfortunately, my husband doesn't like Alivia/Olivia. I thought Alivia would make him like it better, because he doesn't like the whole "Olive" thing...I figured if I took the O away, he wouldn't notice it, haha. He said he kind of likes Aileen and Autumn, both of which I adore. I'm still very partial to Alivia; maybe I can break him down, haha.

Thank you very much for all of your suggestions. :)

My favourites are:

Amelia Roselle
Ava Roselle
Autumn Roselle
Amélie Roselle
Ada Roselle
Alicia Roselle (Ah-lis-ee-uh not Ah-leesha, my personal preference but you might prefer the other pronunciation!)

Don't use Alivia instead of Olivia, it looks really odd. :-/ I think i'd go for either Amelia (i think im going for Amelia Jane with my own daughter to be) or Amélie.
Good luck!

Amelie Roselle
Asta Roselle
Astra Roselle

I really love Ava Roselle. Wish my husband liked the name Ava. Booo.

[http://users.livejournal.com/-glass-/]

I'm going to push for Aileen because it is my middle name and I never hear people bring it up in any kind of suggestions. When people read my middle name, they often ask how it is pronounced and when they find out, they tell me it is so pretty, beautiful, etc.

:D

Some of my favorite names...

Boys
Louis, Patrick, Daniel, Joel, Adam, Eli, Ian, Isaac, John, Henry, Landon, Samuel

I like really traditional boy names for some reason.

A girl names that I like...
Audrey, Agatha, Astrid, Andrea, Althea, Abigail, Amelia, Allegra, Annette

I prefer Amalia... but I'm stuck on names for boys so I cant help... LOL If I was going to have a girl she would be named Amalia, Janiah or Tekira..

i think the name owen is adorable and that it would sound best with a longer middle name. like owen christopher, for example.

love amelia and alivia. also, have you considered astrid?

[shishenbelle.livejournal.com]

Ella for a girl - Its actually a greek word, and i think its such a beautiful name!


And i LOVE the name Owen
