Yay! Quinn is such a cool name!!

Quinn was always a Quinn, right from dot. We had no other names chosen

This time round we have nothing. We decided that we wouldn't get into it until we had found what kind it was (boy/girl) but now that we can't find out we are stuck. There is nothing that I like yet... but we still have another few months to think about it!]]> Thu, 08 Jun 2006 14:58:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=51330&title=arrgh-names#51330 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=51322&title=arrgh-names#51322 Author: Guests

we chose our name's really early on and haven't gone back over them since and still really love our choices, so we don't have any back ups.

for a girl "Caitlin Lilly"
Caitlin, just because we liked it and Lillian is my Mum's middle name and we wanted her involved in the name, so we added the "modern" version.

for a boy "Matthew David"
Matthew, again just because we liked it and David is my Dad's name.

DH's brother's kids are all named after their side of the family and apart from there not being any "nice" names left to choose from we wanted my family's names for our kids ]]> Thu, 08 Jun 2006 13:44:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=51311&title=arrgh-names#51311 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=51305&title=arrgh-names#51305 Author: Roksana

Erin is a gorgeous name, well done Jax on finding your bubba name!

Mike named Paris - i had no say in the matter, he came up with the whole name, which he assures me was NOT inspired by Paris hilton so that's all good.

I got to choose Ayja's name and just changed the spelling from Aja, whichi reckon people would end up saying wrong all the time... to Ayja, so it looks like it sounds... also cos Aja was the hindu word for goat apparently. lol.]]> Thu, 08 Jun 2006 11:59:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=51288&title=arrgh-names#51288 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=51274&title=arrgh-names#51274 Author: Roksana

My friends wee girl is Maddix and shes so cute. We were guna call Jack Grace if he was a girl. I also like Kayden for a girl or boy. What I did is I wrote all the names i liked down from a name book and let ben choose the ones he likes from the list. It didn't work because Ben hates any kind of name that isn't really common and refused to choose any name off my list. We ended up with Jack cos of Jake from once were warriors which is Bens favourite movie but thought we better not name him that so it turned into Jack.

Jax - I ended up with no idea what to name Hannah when I went into labour. I had a whole lot of names that I thought were really cool, but then would go off them a while later. I ended up naming her with Hannah, which was the only name that I didn't despise by the end of it. It's not a very romantic way of naming your child, but in the end she just looked like a Hannah.
Maybe by the time you get there you'll have a name you don't hate too!!

Maya had a name pretty early on, I named her after a poet (as you have all heard a thousand times lol) but the twins are posing a bit of a name problem! I feel like they need to have strong, meaningful names too, but there aren't any that come to me. I kind of like Chiara (Italian for Claire which is my sisters name) but know 2 Chiara's already (one spelt Kiara) but other than that no idea.
They will both have two English names and two Maori names like Maya, and teh bigger twin is going to be something-Mercedes something something but no idea what the 'somethings' will be yet, and the smaller twin still has no names at all.]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2006 20:10:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50713&title=arrgh-names#50713 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50655&title=arrgh-names#50655 Author: caitlynsmygirl

we settled on jack's name pretty early, about a week after we found out he was a boy. this time, we don't know what we're having and names are just not coming to us!
we have a boy name picked, but everyone lately is convinced i'm having a girl, incl DH.
our girl name we had for jack was mya zoey, but i'm not sure i like that anymore. i'd like to use zoey, but my parents now have a dog named that

anyway, i'm no help at all, good luck on your quest ]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2006 09:54:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50639&title=arrgh-names#50639 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50625&title=arrgh-names#50625 Author: jax

I know it's going to sound as lame as you can get, but we knocked Maddison off the list because a) someone we know has it b) our cat is called Maddison (Maddy for short). I even got out the really awesome baby names book we have, and got all the way up to the letter 'E' before DH finally agreed on liking one of the ones I'd picked out ! I've started a new list and am going to edit / add at will I guess, not sure how long it will take us to settle, I don't want it to be forever though. Oh, and the name DH said he liked as well was Erin.

Edited to add: Robyn - I know EXACTLY what you mean about the whole identity thing !!!!!

did any take your fancy on the thread I started which was all girls names? I was really starting to worry about finding a name, I felt like once I knew she was a girl she had to have a name and identity if that makes sense]]> Sun, 04 Jun 2006 20:28:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50623&title=arrgh-names#50623 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50617&title=arrgh-names#50617 Author: lenabeanz

you can always ask on here - i think heaps of people have.

Some other names we had picked were Jasmine, Veda (vay-da), opal, eden, Tamsyn, lilly, Anna, and coral.... but we like pretty different types of names. ]]> Sun, 04 Jun 2006 18:48:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50612&title=arrgh-names#50612 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50608&title=arrgh-names#50608 Author: james

LOL Thanks though Rach, that sounds like something I would have said to anyone else asking this question (and if I had already had a baby) LOL I mean, it still might not happen until when / after she's born but... like I mentioned we are leaning more towards wanting to pick a name beforehand *sigh*]]> Sun, 04 Jun 2006 16:41:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50605&title=arrgh-names#50605 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50602&title=arrgh-names#50602 Author: 98765

Ok so, we had the best of intentions when we started out, and even got it down to a shortlist - but that has since fallen apart and we can't decide on anything ! Nothing seems to fit, even the ones that we really liked before. I think we are starting to lean towards wanting to pick a name before she's born now, but are really struggling.

Anyway, just needed to vent really ]]> Sun, 04 Jun 2006 16:09:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2718&PID=50601&title=arrgh-names#50601
