Originally Posted By TiggerPooh1973 So I have been thinking about baby names recently. Plus people keep asking if we have names picked out yet, and we don't really. We are not going to find out if it's a boy or girl, so we need both. I like both classic and unique names, just nothing way out there that people will never remember or be able to spell. The only given is that if it's a girl the middle name will be Marie. It's my middle name and a 4 generation tradition. The only names we have in mind right now are Chloe and Kylie for a girl and maybe a junior if it's a boy (John). I like the name Aidan, but hubby isn't sure about it. I like Jenna and Sienna too. So let's hear your picks!

Wait, that's been done. ;> I can't give you my names cause then if I have a kid they'll be taken already. LOL! I'm not digging John Marie to much though, you might want to rethink that. ;> Ok, seriously I like: Celia Marie Anissa Marie Natalie Marie I favor Jacob, Zachary, Nathan, Paul or boy names.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Oh, fun! Really like the name Jenna. Jenna Marie sounds pretty. Have always loved John. John-Marie... I don't know. ;P I've always liked the name Caroline. My girlfriend just named her baby Quinlan which I think is pretty. Meredith is another one I've always liked (less now with Meredith Veira irritating everyone on the Today show. lol) Here are the top 10 from last year: Top 10 Baby Names of 2006 & 05 (the left column shows their ranking for '06, the right column shows their ranking for 05); looks like Aiden is #1 for two years running. You pick 'em good TiggerPooh1973! 06 Girls 05 1 Emma 1 2 Madison 3 3 Ava 10 4 Emily 2 5 Isabella 6 6 Kaitlyn 4 7 Sophia 5 8 Olivia 7 9 Abigail 11 10 Hailey 13 06 Boys 05 1 Aiden 1 2 Jacob 2 3 Ethan 3 4 Ryan 6 5 Matthew 5 6 Jack 8 7 Noah 16 8 Nicholas 4 9 Joshua 9 10 Logan 19 Here is the site I got the list from: <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/general/1506830.html" target="_blank">http://www.babycenter.com/gene ral/1506830.html</a> Best of luck to you! DH and I always thought *this* was one of the hardest parts. LOL.

Originally Posted By Labuda Well, since she's not around to suggest it, may I recommend: Candice Marie And, actually, I think that's a pretty name. I also like the name Chelsea Marie. Finally, I'm confused regarding this: "My girlfriend just named her baby Quinlan which I think is pretty." Isn't Quinlan a boys' name?
Originally Posted By avromark Sweet Marie works as well, Mary Marie may be a bit too much. Jenna Marie sounds nice, Jenny Marie as well, but not Cupcake Marie For boys how about Doyle? Devon? Marcius? Michael-Marie?
Originally Posted By Waistcoated Rabbit I love the name Petra for a girl.. even before I heard about the model(Petra Nemcova). I think the name means rock. Petra Marie hmmmmm I also really like the name Owen! For a boy or girl. : )
Originally Posted By Ursula Rose Marie Hazel Marie (sorry, but I love the name Hazel) Phoebe Marie Chloe Marie Cleopatra Marie (what a name!) Antoinette Marie (Toni for short) Candice Marie (lovely!) Aurora Marie Boys? I don't know from boys names. Keiran is nice Stephen is nice James is nice William is a good strong name, as is Robert. Gregory is also strong.
Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes Everyone is subbmitting a girls name that neds in a vowel. I like Gertrud Marie. And Alphonce for the boy. Seriously, my own family happens to have the same tradition that TiggerPooh1973 has. My daughter is Danielle Marie, my sister is Karen Marie, and no one should have my mothers name, Louella Marie. Due to recent experience, I would not name a child with the same first name as the father, as I have and so does my son. The confusion it has created is just not worth it.
Originally Posted By Waistcoated Rabbit Jack is another nice boy name. You could tell him later that he was named after Jack Sparrow! lol
Originally Posted By Lisann22 I am only one of two girl cousin to NOT have Marie as a middle name. We have Lisa Ann Kellee Marie Ramona Marie Yolanda Marie Catalina Marie Kimberely Marie Alesia Marie Monica Marie Sara Marie Anna Marie and Angela Christina That's one generation, it starts over in the one after. Aye yi yi.
Originally Posted By DlandJB I like old fashioned, classic names like Abigail (Abby) and Emily and Christopher, Andrew...like that. I do remember as a kid being very bummed because we could never find anything that was personalized in the stores (pens, bike plates, hair do dads) that had my name on it. So maybe looking at the names on those racks will help you plan!
