Baby Names...Need Help!
We are expecting baby #3 in May and are having an impossible time agreeing on a name. OK...having a hard time even coming up with names. We are sticking with our "M" theme. Our oldest daughter is Morgan, youngest is Macie. We also have 2 female dogs, Marley & Millie. We don't know if baby #3 is a boy or a girl, so we need to prepare names for either.
Any unique, classy, original names out there that any of you Mamas can suggest? Thanks!
PS - We are trying to stay away from the common/popular names like Michael or Matthew or Madison, etc.
So What Happened?™
It's a BOY!!! Mitchell Jackson G. was born May 10th!

Nameberry.com is a wonderful web site. It has tons of names that you can filter by the Letter M and by whether you want the name to be unique or not. I would highly recommend it.

Best resource ever is a book called "The Baby Name Wizard." There's a Web site, too, but the book is better. IIt might be at your library, or cheap on amazon.com. t will help you coordinate brother/sister names and figure out what styles of names you love or hate--it's so much more helpful that reading through a dictionary of random "M" names.
Best wishes!

Melina! (for a girl)
Not to sound too proud, but that's my name, I'm 37, and I've met less than 5 people my entire life with that name... yet it is fairly simple, and similar to other names people know-- Melinda, Melanie, Melissa. I was named after Melina Mercouri, the Greek actress/ politician, so the name has an interesting history (depending on what your interests are...)
Good luck!

We didn't stick with the same initial for each child. For the boys we picked two M names and then two J names...its easier to get the right one when called.
M names: Max, Martin, Moses, Moe, Mitchel, Micah, Melvin,
Marina, Mariah, Micah, Margery, or Marjorie, Mabel, Melody or Melodie, Megan, Muse, Miriam,

We too have a M theme going on with our children (as I came from a family with just M in their names thought it would be fun to continue)
in my family we have M. (me), Melissa, Matthew, Michael, and Mark
we named our daughters Mina (as in Wilhelmina but didnt' like the full name so we just took Mina) and other daughter is Maia (as in Maya or Maja).. if we were to have a boy we were going to name him Max.
