Current Mood: creative

(no subject)

I've thought about what I'm going to name my future children, and I decided that since we've decided that we're going to try for a boy and a girl; even if we don't get one of both. That these are the two names that I think are cutest.

girl :
Brody Wednesday
-I got the idea from reading posts back when I first joined and a girl talked about someone she knew naming their daughter Brody Thursday. But I really like Wednesday.

boy :
Braden Riley
I just kind of came up with that, because a long time ago I knew a guy who's nephews name was Braden. And I've always liked the names Riley, Miles, and Chase. But the other two names don't go very well with the first name.

Sound good to you guys?

EDIT//

Now I'm drawn to the name Ellie for a girl
but I can't think of a good middle name to go with it.
Any suggestions?

I think your middle names are fine, but I hate Brody (sounds like grody) and Braden is just another Aiden name to me. Chase Riley or Miles Chase would be much preferred to me. :P

I like the boy name.

Thank you : D

I like each set of names on their own, but I'd be worried if I had two kids named Brody and Braden people would assum they were both boys. :/

That's true.
Maybe I should pick out more of a feminine name for the girl.
I've always liked the names Holly. But I'm not sure. I want something that will stick out..

i think braden chase sounds good.

Yeah, it does. I'm just having trouble deciding now if the names I picked are the best. Thankfully I don't have to make a complete decision at this point of time.

braden and riley are both really trendy names. that may not matter to you, but i thought i'd point it out!

i kind of like brody, but not for a girl. brody and brady are also rising in popularity. and with brody wednesday, it feels like brody is then an adjective... and it reminds me of grody.

hahaha Brody Grody.
The sad thing is, I could see me getting mad and calling them Grody.
Maybe that's not a good choice of a name for me to pick.

I'm not a huge fan of Brody for a girl, but I think you could pull it off. It's one of the names we considered for a boy. Braden Riley is cute. We had already picked out the name Riley before we knew if we were having a boy or girl. We ended up having a girl, but we stuck with Riley. I saw that some one pointed out that Braden Riley was really trendy right now. I don't think there's any harm in that. Kids are going to prefer a name that's "normal". I think sometimes people go a little over board trying to be different and ignore the effect it can have on their children.

Yeah, I agree. And the trendy names tend to be the cutest ones. And sooner or later, the fact that they're so popular right now is going to die down. And I guess with the name Brody, people are just trying to warn me about the fact that my kid could get teased over the fact that their name rhymes with Grody. But I still like the names I picked : )

&& Thank yooou, btw : D

Braden Riley is way too trendy for my taste. Sounds like the name a 13 year old pregnant girl would give to her doll (baby). Chase Riley is better.

I can't decide if I like Brody or not. As a nickname it'd be cute, but I'm not sure about it as an actual name for a girl.

p.s. I'm an Emily too. :)

I like the name Chase Riley too. And I'm not definitly sure if those are the names I'm going to pick. Your input is helping me a lot, though : )

And btw, I like your icon. haha

I like Braden Riley (very cute!), but I'm not so fond of Brody. It also makes me think of Brody Hutzler from Days of our Lives, so I'd probably assume that Brody would be a boy and not a girl.

Yeah. and I don't really want to do to my kids like.. how there's boys name Ashley and Kelly. I just don't think that giving boys girls names, or girls boys names is the way to go. But I've really never met a single person named Brody before. Well; I've seen that one female guitarist, but that's about it. And I guess that the only way a kid can make having a name that's for the opposite sex work is if they have looks. As sad as that might sound.

Brody and Braden sound so similar. Are you sure that you want your kids to have names that both begin with "Br_d"?

I like Chase and Miles alot though.

You're right.

It kind of makes me think of my neighbors back home. They have four kids; 2 boys and 2 girls. And they all have A names.

Avery, Autumn, Adam, and Amanda.

And I think that I want my kids to have some variety to their names, and I don't want everyone to assume that I just wanted their names to sound similar so it was easier, or whatever.

But Im pretty headstrong on the name braden, and I have been for a long time. So I'll probably just rethink the girls name.

you could always use Brody as a middle name for a daughter, if you really have your heart set on it.

I don't really have my heart set on it anymore.
I'll rethink the girls name
but I'll still use the boys : )

cool, half the fun is looking through names anyhow.

I like all of those names. Braden Riley is cute.

Thank YOOOOOUUU!! : D

i like the name brody for a girl & i guess i don't mind the middle name combination, really i prefer your girls name.

i hate the name braden with the fiery passion of ten thousand suns, and that's where i'm going to stop.

Awwh.
Why do you hate it?

It reminds me of Broody (Brooding) Wednesday.

Brody is a boys name...

Your boys name is nice, though.

Yeah, I think I've given up on the name Brody. haha

How about Ellie Marie?

That's what I was thinking.
Ellie Marie
or Ellie Mae.

I'm not sure though.

Ellie Mae? Like from "The Beverly Hillbillies"? Cute name - weird reference.

Don't forget, you're naming an adult also. Your baby won't be an infant, toddler or teen forever.

Yeah, I didn't think about The Beverly Hillbillies.
I was just thinking of names that sounded good together.

And I guess you're right.

Thankfully, I've probably got a few years in before I actually have kids at all.

Sorry but I hate them both. A lot. Brody is a boys name and not even a good one at that. I can hear the kids calling her Grody Brody already. Awful. Ellie is MUCH better. Like, a zillion times better. I think it's a bit nicknamey but compared to brody, it's GOLD. I like it as a nn for Elisabeth, Melody, Melanie, Amelia, Eleanor, Isabel, Annabel, Felicity, Noelle or Penelope.

Braden is too trendy and too popular for me. Miles and Chase are both really nice. Miles Braden? Chase Braden?
