My fiancee and I are having a baby that's due February 14, 2007. I've always liked unique names and he agrees on that much but he doesn't seem to love any of the girl names I do and it's frustrating! He thinks they're all "ok" but he's not passionate about any of them.I'm open to some more ideas and am curious about what you think of our names.

Mitchell, Raye, and Lynn are all family names and are special to us so one of them has to be the middle name. And the babies last name will be Benoit. We've both agreed on Bowen Mitchell if it's a boy. FINALLY something we both really like and agree on. How do you feel about Bowen Mitchell Benoit?

The girls name is a battle though. Me and my whole family LOVE the name Meadow Raye Benoit and I also really like Astrid Lynn. He's ok with both of them but he's fighting for Jasmine Raye or Callisto Lynn. I think Jasmine is cute but it doesn't sound very unique. I can't think of any Jasmines I know though, but you get what I mean. And I think Callisto is pretty, calling her Calli would be cute, but it sounds like a ponies name.

So out of the girls names what are your thoughts and opinions? I can be swayed either way I think but I LOVE the two names I've picked and I think Jasmine is just ok. lol.

Sooo...


Jasmine Raye
Meadow Raye
Astrid Lynn
Callisto Lynn

Thoughts, opinions, other ideas?

If you can't agree on a first name with a set middle name, can you forget about the middle name? although... Astrid Jasmine and Astrid Callisto sound really dorky. Jasmine Meadow is awful... You can always do 3 names. Or a name with a "lynn" ending?

i don't think it's fair in the least for you to bring up the fact that your whole family loves a certain name. it is not THEIR kid, it is yours. the decision should be between the two of you. it isn't fair to team up (that's setting your relationship up for a slew of other problems in the future).

I think Callisto is cute, and not a pony name, if that helps at all. Callisto and Astrid are my 2 favorites there. I am not a fan of Meadow and Jasmine. Maybe you can find a way to use both. Or maybe you'll get lucky and have a boy and not have to decide on a girls name until #2. :P

Saying that my family is a fan of a certain name isn't meant to be an issue like that. My fiancee is a HUGE part of the family. We have one of those huge, very tight-knit loving families and he's the one who brought up the name issue to them and looked to see what they liked. It's in no way a team effort against him on the names we like. Everyone loves all of the names but when Joey told them that we were torn between Meadow and Jasmine, everyone was crazy about Meadow and ok with Jasmine. It turned into a cute thing when he looked at me and was like "ok, maybe Meadow is a better choice." and everyone laughed about it. It's not like we're teaming up on him and pushing for a name. He's the one who brought up the names and asked for advice on it. I'm not gonna lie though, I think it sways both of us when our families are our world and we both like all the names but they're CRAZY about Meadow.

And on to part two, it's not an issue with the set middle name, we both want it to be Raye or Lynn, whichever happens to sound best with the name we choose. We're both torn on the first name though. As I said we both like them all but we each have our favorites and are trying to decide what we like more. We could both go with any of the names and be happy about it, we're just looking for other opinions on them that maybe we haven't thought of.
