I'm 8 weeks pregnant with our second child, & my husband & I have been trying to figure out some names. My husband really likes Zoe; it's okay, but I don't love it.

If it's a girl, we've almost decided on Emery Jean (Jean is my grandma's name & I like the way the name sounds; it sounds classic to me). For a boy, we like Avery, but our first son is Aiden & I always get a little weirded out when families do alliterations. I'm pretty set on using Jean as a middle name & I don't think Zoe flows with it as well as Emery. If we go with Zoe, I think we might use Rose as a middle name--my husband's grandma.

We don't have any middle names picked out for boys. Our first son's middle name is Taylor--my husband's first name--so I wouldn't know where to go with that.

Also, my husband thinks we should use Emery Gene if it's a boy. I don't see Emery as a boy name at all.

WDYT?

I'm not bothered by alliterations, unless it is someone who decides, "Okay, YES, all the kids MUST have A names!"

My husband and I are both A's, and it just so happens that the two other girl names we like start with A's, too, except for the name we're naming our in utero daughter! None of the boy names we like start with A, though.

I think Emery can be a cute name for both :) And I LOVE Avery :)

LOL yeah, I used A because it led into my next point about my own situation, plus it tied in with the OP's worry :)

Oh goodness, I know. I just like to point out the insanity of the Duggar family EVERY CHANCE I GET!! Does that make me evil?

Haha, I don't think you're evil, so don't worry ;)
