Baby Name Ideas

Hi K., I have two boys and picking out their names was one of the hardest things to do. Naming a person is not easy. They have to live with what you give them. You want them to have a name they will like but not too out there that people look at you funny when they hear it. There are a couple of girls in my sons school one is Star and the other is Angel. But the bad thing is their last name is Fish. That's just wrong. I like names that are not too common but not to crazy that they couldn't spell it. My first son is Dalton Cole and the little one is Dakota Carson (I had this one for a boy or girl).
Good luck on the name game.

I also love the name Maddox, for a boy we thought of Pheonix, but ended up with Lucas. For a girl I loved Tea (sounds like Taya), but went with Ava. Good luck & congratulations!

Hi I am like all the others. You will be calling them all the time and pick something you like.

My picks are
girls: Bianca
Nature
Destiney
Ashlynn

boys: Daveion
Zachery
Kendrick
Slater

My girls are Laurika Dolores and Lakayla Dominique and I am L. Dolores....my mom was Dolores and great gradma too, I wanted us all to have LDT initials so I came up with Lakayla because I liked Makayla so I put a L on it and Dominique to keep the hisp middle name and I liked the meaning. I havent meet any others with my girls names anywhere. Hope I never do. They are special and unique, created just for them. Good luck and let us know what you think or what names you choose etc.

Both are nice and remember in probably 20 years most people won't even know who Angelina Jolie is and certainly wont remember that Maddox was her son's name. Go with what you and your husband love, afterall you'll be calling their name thousands of times. Just an FYI though if you are worried about everyone having your childs name. Madison has been in the top 15 popular girls names for over 10 years now. Our children are Emma Rae, Jillian Morgan, Colby Tanner, and we are planning on naming our little girl due before Xmas Mallorie Taylor. Good luck and have fun I love playing the name game.

I actually know a Maddox and I have never thought about Angelina Jolie's son. I say go for it!

I think that the name Maddox is very cool, and if you like it, go for it. Who cares that a celebrity happened to name her son that?

My daughter's name is Rhiannon Maleene, and I chose that because it meant something to me. I think that's what a name should be.

I just heard this name the other day and thought it to be SO beautiful and unique for a girl- Brielle I heard it derives from the name Gabriel or Gabrielle- IF I were having another girl that would def- be in the top 3 favs.
Good Luck-

I am just a few days away from delivering a little boy. We have had a name picked out since before marraige. Preston. The middle name is going to be James in honor of my husbands grandfather. We have a 3 1/2 yr little girl with the name Brittney Michelle and if this baby was a girl we were going to use the name Emily.

Hopefully that gives you a few more options to think about.

Good luck with your pregnancy. The second one is always easier.

Two names I like: Elliot (boy or girl) and an unusual one, Lyric. I'm expecting our second boy in November and we'll probably do Kai as his middle name, though we haven't settled on a first name yet. If I were having a girl, I like the name Summer and Madie (there are so many variations on the shortened form of Madison/Madeleine). Good luck with the name game!

Carson Ray

My kiddos are, Nathaniel Thomas and Alexis Dawn. Both have mine and my husbands middle names. We call them Nathan or Nate, and Lexi or Ali.

Good Luck and Congrats!

Orin, alayna, arianna, rayna...that's all I have for the moment

Our son's name is Denver Christian, it is a family name. I have only met 1 other Denver. Actually, all of our children are city names. We weren't trying to do that with the first two, but, when the next two came we had to keep it going. Our three daughters are Madison, Brooklyn and Aspen. Good Luck!

When I was prego we had Preston Riley, Paxton Ryan, and Trenton James (went with this one) for boys. Paityn Lindsay, Alivia Trennedi for girls. My best friend is prego right now also and they have selected Maleaha and Nathan.

Good Luck and congrats,
J.

We have decided to use Madison as well, but we are spelling it Madisyn, and for a boy we are using Masyn. Maddox is a lovely name, but I guess he would always get that question, "Did your parents name you after Angelina Jolie's son? Good luck!

I have two girls. My oldest is Bailey and my youngest Briley. Congratulations.

My best advice is to look back at names in your family. All 3 of my kids have names relating to both of our ancestors. My son is Nathan Lowell (both of my mother-in-laws grandfathers were Nathans and my husband and father-in-law are Lowell). My first daughter is Kirby Lee (Kirby is my maiden name and Lee is my sisters middle name). My second daughter is Erin Lucy (Lucy was my grandmothers name and Erin we just really liked). We also thought of using my mother-in-laws maiden name which is Parker if we had another boy.

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and haven't found out what we're having yet! The names I've picked out are Parker Andrew for a boy and Eden Olivia for a girl. I want something unique, but not weird. I picked common middle names so if they don't like their first name later, they can go by their middle name.

I also really like Payton (girl) and Hunter (boy). The names you like sound good and who cares if someone famous has the same name for their child? Go with the names YOU like!

I think the names Madison and Maddox are beautiful names! My niece is Madison and I love it. I am due in about 6 weeks with a boy and we are naming him Brooks Alexander. It is different but not weird which is what we were shooting for. Other names we had on our list were Colten, Tristan, Caden, Aiden, Tanner, Grayson (my fav after Brooks) and Taylor for boys. For girls, my favorite is Olivia but we also had Avery, Bennett, Sophia and Taylor.

I think you should go with your gut and what you love. It is going to be his or her name forever! Good luck!

When I was pregnant with daughter 12 yrs ago this was a tough decision. We wanted a name that she would like and be somewhat unique.

Everytime we thought of something, we imagined her at different stages of her life and what that name might sound like at that stage.

We chose the name Erin. Since she was due around Christmas, we decided if she was born on Christmas Eve or Christmas day, her middle name would be Noelle. She was not born on those days so we went with Melissa.

When I was in school, there were always 3-4 Susan's in my class and I was hoping to avoid that for her. So far, it has worked out well. She is becoming a strong young woman.

Just a few names for boys that we thought of with our first son, Darian Michael, Gavin Scott & Devlin Boyd (went with this one). With little girls, one I really liked was Rhiannan Nicole, Montana Nicole & Evany Brean. Good Luck!!!
