(I mean all the REASONABLE ones--Edward is clearly out). Do you have The Baby Name Wizard? That's the book I found most helpful.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-77885994764199983122007-12-07T10:34:00.000-05:002007-12-07T10:34:00.000-05:00I think it's easier to discuss baby names when it'...I think it's easier to discuss baby names when it's hypothetical - not as much pressure.<BR/><BR/>I really like Ben. It's one of my favorite names.Nowheymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977594440010163078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-45756076633012889482007-12-05T21:06:00.000-05:002007-12-05T21:06:00.000-05:00Oh in your situation I wouldn't find out the sex. ...Oh in your situation I wouldn't find out the sex. I've told people before that if I had a boy and girl I'd let the next one be a surprise. I was about 60-75% sure I wanted my son's sex to be a surpsise but my husband talked me into it. It didn't take too much prying. I knew it would drive him nuts to wait and I wouldn't hear the end of it so I caved.<BR/><BR/>I'm bad at suggesting names but I like to comment about names that people have already thought about. I like Olivia and Abbey is cute. Is this ex-coworker or his someone you'd run into? It not go for it. Grace...Ella...Jenna...all good names.<BR/><BR/>I like Ben (it's my husband's brother's name). And Matthew is great. ;) It's my hubby's name and Zachariah's middle name for that reason. What about Matthew Charles? Just throwing that out there. ;) Ha. Seriously though I do like Matthew Christopher. Sounds nice. I liked Hayden early on for my son but Matt didn't like it either. Now I'm against it because there are too many Hayden girls. And Andrew is always good. I've always loved Drew. I couldn't do Andrew because I knew one back in high school that caused problems (still does on occassion) with my family/relationship with Matt. Long story.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps. (Sorry for the lack of commas. It's driving me nuts but my "comma" key isn't working.)Mommy Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272248293460562006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-12065811670196808912007-12-05T19:47:00.000-05:002007-12-05T19:47:00.000-05:00I agree - don't find out!

Are there name elements that you definitely do/don't want (like number of syllables, top 100 yes/no... that kind of thing). I love name discussions. Love. them.LoriDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646658618955664778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-37056378086430814242007-12-05T14:27:00.000-05:002007-12-05T14:27:00.000-05:00I love Grace for a girl and Olivia. for a boy I a...I love Grace for a girl and Olivia. for a boy I am TOTALLY NOT GOING TO HELP YOU. i'm having enough trouble coming up with one on my own. I love Benjamin and Aidan but we can't use them. In our case all the names I love are taken. We like to be slightly unusual but not totally outrageous and I just can't come up with anything right now . . . Why are boys so much harder? Anyways - don't find out the sex! The surprise is so much fun!!!! Please join me in driving myself crazy by not finding out!bananafanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705721816298945413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-81032688848249206372007-12-05T13:42:00.000-05:002007-12-05T13:42:00.000-05:00I have no name suggestions, especially since I don...I have no name suggestions, especially since I don't know your last name, but I wanted to say that I am years away from having a baby (unless the best-laid plans go awry, of course), and I think about baby names regularly. The first thing I would do after finding out I was pregnant would be to start arguing with Torsten about names. So I think you're right on target with that one.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942269316108576622noreply@blogger.com
