 I'm not due until January...

But I'm pretty sure we're set on Oakley for our little boy. 

I've been trying to use a name when talking about him, to see if one works/sounds better, and out of all the choices we had...that one feels the most natural for us. Knowing me, I could very well change my mind before he comes, but for right now - Oakley feels right. 

Thoughts? Love it? Hate it?

Now the middle name...

Oakley Nash
Oakley Bennett
Oakley Vaughn

Last name is Perez, too.
Go ahead. Stalk me. I dare you ;)

Oakley Bennett Perez FTW !!!!

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Thanks bb ;)

"Oakley Vaugh", if you say it too fast, sounds like "Oakleaf On".

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Hahaha...I hadn't tried saying it too fast just yet.
My best guy friend's middle name is Vaughn, and so I always thought about using it - since it's an interesting name, and it would be nice to name my kid after someone I love so much.

[subluxate]

I speak fairly fast, which is why I noticed it. If you're planning to have more kids, maybe you could use Vaughn with another?

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

We plan on having two...
and if it was a girl we were having, we were going to try to use Vaughn as her middle name, since it flowed really nicely with some of the names we had picked out (Evie, Matilda, and Marley).

Well damn it I was going to say I liked that one until you pointed that out! lol

So now I'm going to say Oakley Bennett.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Is that an ultrasound picture for your icon?? :)

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

yes ma'am...due in January just like you! Yeah I decided to stalk you, so what? :-P Actually, I'm used to seeing your face in the January babies community. I didn't have to stalk!

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Awh! I was just going to tell you to join!
(I am about to post in there, about names as well)
Do you know what you're having??

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

he's a little Noah David :-P

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Noah and Jonah were both on our list - it's a super cute name ;)

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

lmao....not like it matters because you definitely mentioned you're due in January in this post...I'm dumb.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, it's okay.
I forgot about it too
Prgenancy brain is AWESOME

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

It's nice to have something to blame dumb moments on!

[notmybusiness.livejournal.com]

I don't know why, but Oakley Nash just sounds super cool. However, with Perez added to it, I prefer Oakley Bennett.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

I can't get over my infatuation with Nash as a middle name.
I really think it will come down to Bennett and Nash...
and depending on how he looks - maybe that's how we'll decide.

[274-days.livejournal.com]

I'm in agreeance, I like Oakley Nash.
However....When I was saying just the first and mn's, I thought Oakley Nash was the way to go. But, if you add in Perez, for something reason Oakley Bennett Perez does more for me than Oakley Nash Perez.
Maybe cos they're all two syllables..
*srug*

[274-days.livejournal.com]

wow, or I could just forget how to write...
SOME reason!!

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Lol, no worries!
I may just stick with Nash for the mn.
I like the way it sounds with Oakley SO much more.
Bennett is more or less a back-up.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I like Oakley Nash the best, personally.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ;)

[sweethoneybee.livejournal.com]

Oakley like the sunglasses? Ummmm...don't like it at all, sorry. I like Bennett Oakley though.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Thanks anyways ;)

[aaww-my-bees.livejournal.com]

I'd never use Oakley but I think it's cute.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Hah, if anything it makes it more unique.
It seems a lot of people may not like it enough for their use (that's fine, there are thousands of names I would never use) - and I'm just ecstatic people don't hate it.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i prefer nash

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much bb! :)
I love it for a middle name.

[jerseygrits.livejournal.com]

Oakley could definitely work, but my immediate reaction is that it seems like a surname more than anything else.

As far as the middle name, Vaughn is my least favorite for Oakley. I think Oakley Bennett Perez flows the best. Oakley Nash strikes me as really Wild West. And I do keep thinking of Annie Oakley, so that's something to keep in mind since you are planning on using it for a boy.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm one of those people that loves using surnames as first names.

Haha, I hadn't even thought of Annie Oakley. That's hilarious.

Nash is actually after Steve Nash, two time MVP from the Phoenix Suns ;) So the wild west is the last thing I'm reminded of, lol ;)

[redriotroses.livejournal.com]

A fan of the brand Oakley by any chance? =P

I actually adore Oakley Bennett, it flows the best to me, Oakley Nash is lovely, but to me, Nash is a sirname so i couldn't use it as a second, and Bennett sounds super manly to me.

Congrats and good luck for January <333

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

No, not even. Honestly.

I just came across the name in a baby name book and fell in love with it. I am also one of those extremely tacky people that loves surnames for first names, so it doesn't bother me at all ;)

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

I really like Oakley, always have. I think your middle name choices are good too...hard for me to pick a favorite! I'd probably go with Bennett.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Awh, thanks pumpkin! I'm glad you like it so much. The only complaint people have had is the brand of sunglasses, and honestly - I'm over it. Like, it's not like we're naming him Hollister...

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

I think it's very much in line with all the other trendy names, but I don't hate it.

I think of the sunglasses actually.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was my first concern...but I don't think it's as HUGE as some of the other brand names/first names out there.

[lolzabeth.livejournal.com]

Oakley Nash sounds like a Homer Simpson name it would go well with Max Powers and Rock Strongo! hehe

That being said I like it and it's much better than Oakley Bennet. I actually prefer Nash with the last name aswell.

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

Really? Yay! I really really can't get over my crush on using Nash for the middle name.

Our previous name choice was Cohen Nash Perez, and it disappoints me that Nash seems to fit so much better there...but like I said, since I love it so much, I may just have to get over it (Bennett is more of a back-up)

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i don't like it..i immediately think of charles oakley. i think it'd be okay as a middle name. oakley nash is just...too basketball-y to me. charles oakley, steve nash.. =/

[nikkabee.livejournal.com]

That's where we got the idea for Nash, actually, so I don't mind that you're reminded of Steve Nash

And I just asked everyone sitting around me who Charles Oakley is, lol...and no one knows.

Thanks anyways! :)
