My husband and I are expecting our first child in less than a week, and we're still crunching on names. We do have the middle names down:
River for a girl, Nathan for a boy. We have two girls names picked:
Ainsley River
and
Mackenzie River

and three boys names:
William Nathan
Christopher Nathan
Jacob Nathan

Which are your favorites? Why? Or, if you don't like any of them, why not?

EDIT:
Thank you everyone for your thoughts! I figured i may as well give mine as well :)

girls..
Schuyler - I prefer this spelling to Skylar or Skyler, im not a huge fan of the hard K.

Ella - One of my favorite names, although i think of it more as a nickname. I would probably name my daughter Elizabeth and call her Ella. I spent last summer in Greece and there was a lovely old grandmother who would always say ella, little one, ella. i loved that. i think it meant, come little one, come.

Addison - It has grown on me, but i dont know that i would name a child it just yet.

Grace- my most favorite girl name. I think it is strong and classic.

Lilly - one of my favorites. And the reason for the double L is i LOVE Lilly Pulitzer. ANd i adore how it looks

Cameron - I think it has almost crossed over into the too feminine for a boys name genre. So i could never imagine a boy with this name. I adore it for a girl

Katherine- such a classic girl name. Kate would be her nickname. Im sure i will have a little girl with this name.

Suzanne - haha thats my name. I have never formed a strong oppinion on it, so it was interesting to hear others thoughts.

Campbell- I have wanted to be an NBC News Washington Correspondent for as long as i can remember. Campbell Brown is a strong, confident woman who has done wonders for the world of female anchors. I think its a fun beautiful name

Morgan - i adore this name. Its simple, and classic.

Tierney - Although i may be the only one, i absolutly adore this name

Emily - one of my favorites. Its so simple and beautiful

Sailor - No one likes this, but i think its such a cute name. Wouldnt name a child it. Maybe a dog.

Peyton - has grown on me. I see a little girl named Peyton as either SUPER girly or SUPER athletic tom boyish. Nothing in betweeen


Nell - my favorite cousins name. One of my favorite names. We call her Nellie

Charlotte- another cousin name. love it. plus there is always Charlotte from Sex and the City.

Boys...
Callum - Adore

Tate (mn only) Still havent decided if i would give it to a girl or a boy, but i love it.

Aidan - i hate that this has become trendy. It has been one of my favorite names since before i could remember

Callaghan (prounounced - Call a han) - I love this name, we would call him Cal

Hudson - I live in Manhattan and still dont associate this name with the river. I think its a strong name.

Sawyer - Love Sawyer.

McCabe - obviously i love last names as first names.

Tanner - i think this is such a cool name.

Finn- so irish. would be after my uncle. he loved this name.

PS: i like preppy names. i am preppy. :)

I'm not pregnant or anything, I just like thinking about names.

When I have a baby, it's very important to me that the middle name be Saphaedra (Sah FAY dra) (and only if it's a girl) but I can't think of any first names that go with it. Probably something short that doesn't end in "-a." Suggestions?

Cale _________?

What do you think of the name Calliope?

I'm looking for more than "I like it" or "I hate it." Like, do you know how to pronounce it? Do you think it's too weird? Do you like the sound? Do you have any further thoughts?
