I don't have kids yet, but we are beginning to try to have kids... :-)
We have kind of been thinking of names... 
So far, I like the name AMBER for a girl.  I haven't heard a boys name that I reallllyyyy like yet.  I want something unique, but cute. lol.. it is hard.  My cousin named her little boy LELAND and I thought that was different and cute.. But I can't use that now.. haha.. Stilllll thinkinggggg.... hmmmm...

I love Leland, it's one of my favorite boy's names! I think boy's names are harder, too.

To be honest, I think Amber is really bland. It's not a bad name though, so if you like it, go for it! :)

Other boy name suggestions:

Nolan
Ivo
Leo
Emmett
Silas
Florian
Julian/Julius
Alaric
Sylvan
Marcus
Kellan
Ronan

Good luck!

Leland makes me think of Dog the bounty hunter, which makes me cringe....but i still like the name oddly enough.

My friend from back home just named her baby Leland. But I haven't met him in person yet, and when I think of the name I can't help but think of a crazy philosophy grad student I knew in college.

I'm Amber and I hated my name growing up because it was so popular. There was always another Amber in my class when I was little. It doesn't seem to be as popular now so that's good.
I'm not a huge fan of Leland

I really, really dislike Amber. It makes me think of that awful woman from the Teen Mom.

Courtland is one of my favourite names!

And seeing the name Everett, I suddenly like it as a girls name.

Same.

Also, there is an episode of Criminal Minds that I'm watching (literally) rn where the UnSub turns out to be a woman named Amber. They kept repeating her name as I was reading this post.
