Baby names???

This baby has been named since about 4 wks.  We both 'felt' we were having a boy and decided to name him Andrew Robert.  We did play around with a few other names but none of them were right.  We did consider adding another middle name because our surname starts with S and a few people have suggested that A.R.S. spells a naughty word (those people evidently can't spell) we've decided to ignore them, how many people actually go by their full names anyway?!

Michaela, was named by the time we had our 20 wk scan, I 'felt' I was carrying and sure enough the scan confirmed it. 

Just as well we were right both times because we had real trouble settling on names for the opposite sex.

murphys law has always played a part in naming our kids - we have only had girls names for our first 2 so of course they were boys! (Bay was Madison and Astin was Lily).

This time we only have a boys name...even though so far no middle name but if he is a he then he will be "DREW"

DH and I both like KARMA for a girl but my mum is trying as hard as she can to put us off! "Amber - Karma is a bitch remember!"

Well my girl names are either:

Franchezka Rose Lewis (Frankie for short) OR
Victoria Rose Lewis (Tori for short)
I have thought that if I can't choose between the two then I'll use both names, making it Franchezka Victoria-Rose Lewis.
Rose is the Lewis family middle name.

Boy name...well I only got one. Ryleigh Brian Lewis. Brian is my family middle name.

In about another couple of years we want our third and final baby and I've already started thinking of names hehe. If its a boy I want to name him Rex after my Dad (although Jess HATES the name ) and if its a girl I quite like Maggie May (I know it sounds kinda hill billy lol) I also saw someone in another thread with a wee girl called Lilith which is such a gorgeous name! But Esme's middle name is Lily so it's a little too close

Sadly however I don't get much say next round as I picked both Hazel and Esmes first names I do get to pick the next middle name though.

Right from the start I knew Sam was a boy and I wanted to name him Lee after my dad. (My mums middle name is Lee and so is my brothers) I even told my dad that I was going to name him Lee and he was SO excited.

Then over the course of my pregnancy Sams dads family completely railroaded me and being young and stupid and not having the balls to stand up for myself I gave in and Lee became his middle name.   I do like the name Sam and it does come from a character in a Terry Pratchett book called Samuel Vimes, who around the time I was pregnant was in one of his new novels where he called his new son Sam too, so we both liked the name.

He really does suit his name so I am happy with how it turned out.

This baby has already been named (loosely), we might change our mind.

But if it's a girl her name will be Olivia Fern (Fern is DPs mums middle name)

And if it's a boy he will be Jamie Gray (Gray is DPs middle name and James is my great-grandfathers name)

I am happy with the names but who knows how I will feel later down the track.

thanks pebblegirl im glad someone likes it! lol im just merely trying to ignor family and friends who turn their noses up at it!!

my sisters good friend has an almost 3yr old called Kharma and shes gorgous!!! her older brother is in Bays class too

I the name Karma! Its lovely

Not that I'm expecting another baby anytime soon, but thought I'd jump in here. We had decided a name for boy & girl in our first trimester. I was so positive that we were having a boy and we had settled on the name Cosimo. DH is from Florence, Italy and Cosimo is an old name from that area and Cosimo de Medici was one of the men that basically ran Florence a few hundred years ago. We both love the name and the history behind it. My family hated it! They all repeatedly said our baby would be mocked and everyone would refer to him as Quasimoto!

Well, turns out we had a girl anyway and her name is Novella Kowhai. Novella is another Florentine name and also part of the name of the first great church in Florence called 'Santa Maria Novella' which I fell in love with. Kowhai is my best friends middle name.

Anyway, if we have a boy next he will be called Cosimo - by that time we will be living in Italy anyway and over there, there won't be any 'Notre Dame' jokes!

Lisa we love the old names that arnt too common as well and Esme was actually on our short list but our last name is Erdbeer so Esme Erdbeer sounded like too much of a mouth full of E's

Anna i love the traditional Italian names!!!! my dad is half italian (other half moari) and i just have a thing for those names

hehe , I knew a girl called Karma when I was at Bethany , she had her baby at 24 weeks, then took off and abandoned her in hospital ..however, I do remember she , Karma, was gorgeous, like stunning gorgeous .

Renee, I love the name Olivia, I think thats such a pretty name

haha Emz, so you didn't like the crowd favourite Ava Elizabeth?

I like names that aren't too modern , but not too old fashioned

Nana and Poppa names are coming back into fashion.

I know a little boy names Archie and he really suits the name.
There are a lot of Harry's around too.
