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 don't see what is wrong with Dodge, Parker... and who cares what it sounds or looks like when put that way anyway??? You are never going to refer to your son as Dodge, Parker are you??? That's only usually in lists of some sort or attendence which the teachers still will say Parker and then Dodge if there is more than one Parker in class. I just don't see what's wrong with it. Parker is a good name. Though I think Stephan Parker Dodge sounds better, but I'm guessing you want Stephan as a middle name not first. Parker Stephan Dodge is good too though, I like it. :-)

Well Parker is still on the list, but bumped down a bit. Thanks for the encouragement.

Stephan is the middle name because on top of it being his brother's name it was my biological father's name, and he really wasn't a stand-up guy (he died of a drug OD when I was two). I was raised by my mom and step-dad and I think that it would be disrespectful to my step-dad who raised me.

Makes perfect sense to me sweetie. :-) Good luck to you. And I'm still voting for Parker hehe :-)
