Date: 2009-12-29 01:37 am (UTC)The only way I got him to agree to name the dog Olive was by saying "If the dog is named Olive, we obviously can't name a child Olivia...." ;)

Date: 2009-12-29 01:43 am (UTC)Ethan and Noah, though I wouldn't name a potential child either of those
From the pink list:
Anna, Ella, Elizabeth, Olivia, Sophia, Isabella, and Emily -- and of this list, I think only Anna has a fair shot of being used by me.

Date: 2009-12-29 04:11 pm (UTC)2 Michael (except I already have a cousin with this name, and another named Isabella (both 2nd place) but I can't stand that name)
4 Madison - long time favorite
5 Daniel - just a classic name
7 Sophia - family name, and long time favorite
8 William - only with the nn Will though, I can't stand Bill
8 Abigail - with the nn Abby
10 Matthew - Like Matt, another classic name
13 Natalie - currently my favorite
15 Noah - hubby wouldn't like this one
17 James - Have always loved James, but am afraid of using it because I hate Jim
24 Lily - probably would use Lillian with the nn lilly, again it's a family name
25 Benjamin - like the nn Ben
26 Anna - This name is growing on me
28 Samuel - I like Sam, but this would probably be a pets name rather than a kids name for me.
29 Nicholas - Like Nick as the nn
29 Lillian - see Lily for comments
30 Lauren - Love this name, but my brother has claimed it for his future daughter
37 Isaac - Growing on me
38 Evan - have always liked Evan
39 Jack - family name, has long been my number 1 boys name
39 Riley - eh, it's alright, but it's the hubby's first choice name for a girl
40 Kevin - family name
41 Leah - longtime favorite
A lot of these are names that family members have, so am more likely to use :)
