Found out today that I'm pregnant again. This will be my third pregnancy, ad (hopefully only) my fourth child.

So when I'm done freaking out about the logistics of having four children under seven - three under five - I'm going to have to think about names. Tim and I are pretty traditional in that sense. We both despise cre8ive names with a passion.

Currently, we have Isabel (Izzy) who is five, and the twins Evan and Lucky (who is really Luke who are a couple of months away from being four.

What are some nice, normal names that would sound good as a sibset? I'm not quite two months along so have no idea of the sex yet. We haven't started making lists yet but I have a couple in mind, I just wanted to ask the opinion of people here - you're usually full of ideas I love!

Needing French boy names!

We're expecting our first child around the end of February, and although we've been talking about what to name our children for about ten years, most of those names were girl names. Well, it's not a girl! Now we're finding ourselves wracking our brains for boy names.

My family is French, and I would dearly love to have names that are French or can be easily pronounced in French. Nothing that sounds the same for the masculine and feminine form (e.g. Michel/Michelle), and I know my husband would prefer a name with no 'r', because he has great trouble rolling his 'r's in French. ;-D

We're rather traditional but don't mind something a little different. Some names we bandied about were Camden, Xavier, and Aaron, but we've pretty much settled on Henry/Henri for a first name (which I'll pronounce 'ahn-ree').

But a suitable middle name totally escapes us. We really wanted to go with a grandparent's name, or at least someone from our extensive family trees. But with the last name MacDonald and two grandparents named Donald (the others were Mel and Léandre), well...

I have very few repeating names on my side of the family (Michel, Joseph, and Pierre are the only ones I could find that had been used more than twice), and the only adaptable names on his side of the family, David and Daniel, are used so often we personally boycotted them years ago. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to Frenchify the blank for Henry [ _____ ] MacDonald, they are more than welcome!

Tracy - which gender do you think of? Do you have a preferred spelling? Bad association with the name?
Darius - pron. DARE-ee-us
Xavier
