Wow what a great community! Thank you everyone for your input I really appreciate it. So many months to go to decide so I'm sure I'll come up with a million more names I like & dislike. We for sure are not going with Adian OR Madison anymore. I grew up as Nicole and hated knowing 5 other Nicoles so I don't want to do that to my child. But I also don't want to name my child something hard to pronounce, spell, or something that sounds funny. (What's up with Pirate, or Moxie Crimefighter... are you kidding me?)

There is a lot of meaning to Johanna though. It is my little sisters middle name and there is no one in my family I love more than my sister. She is the world to me. Then my husbands mom's name is Jo so Johanna would kind of represent both of them which I think is way cool. So hopefully I can find a good first name that works with Johanna as a middle name. I think Avalyn is cool, but Ava Johanna M. sounds better than Avalyn Johanna M. that's just too much. (IMO) But Ava is really popular also isn't it? I don't know.

Talk about a BIG HUGE decision though. Naming your child. They have to live with this name FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIFE. It's just such a big deal to me.

Deirdre Myrona

Opinions? I'm iffy about Myrona, but I think it's pretty by itself.

Suggestions are welcome. :)

Ok, I need help here.

We are finally pregnant after 2 years of trying, and now we can't agree on names at all!

We have already chosen Trinity Elisabeth for a girl. However, I'm not a huge fan of Trinity, and my husband always makes fun of Elisabeth (because of the way I choose to spell it) by pronouncing it "Eliza Beth". I'm giving up and giving him Trinity. He loves the name, and there is no talking him out of it. However, I am trying to come up with a better middle name that he can't butcher. Some of my favorite girl names are: Scarlet, Olivia, and Ruby. Any suggetions for a middle name?

Now the boy names..

My husband is adamant that the middle name be Stephen, to which I agree (It was his brother's name, and he passed away when my husband was very young). Now, remember that I've already given in on Trinity and Stephen, and I love the name Lennon. For awhile he let me use it as "the working name" but after a phone call with his mother he said that he didn't like it at all. I'm really quite downtrodden about this because I've done a lot of compromising on my end as far as names go. My husband wants to stop talking about it until we know the sex (which is still 9-10 weeks away), but I can't stop trying to figure out a name. I had finally come up with one we both liked, Parker, and then his mother pointed out that when he wrote his name last-name-first it would be Dodge, Parker. It made me hate it.

So, I'm open for suggetions here. I'm not a fan of "normal" names such as John, Michael, etc. My name is Renda and I've always liked the uniqueness of my name.

Trinity ___________ Dodge
___________ Stephen Dodge

Thanks so much!

I'm not pregnant, nor do I have any children, but I am completely obsessed with names. I posted a list of names a couple of months ago, but, like the seasons, my favorite names are constantly changing, so I thought I'd post my new list and see what people think! My style tends to be a mix of traditional/modern names, I think, without a lot of scary alternative spellings and "out there" names. I'm also currently into Irish-y names for boys, and Italian names for girls. And popular names don't scare me away, whether they be in the top one hundred or top ten. Names in bold are ones that I am particularly fond of.
