I've seen this video floating around on YouTube and I kind of loved the idea of it. Since I'm not a YouTuber, I thought I would make it into a blog post, naming a baby can be pretty difficult sometimes and I think videos/posts like this help with ideas when you just aren't feeling creative. Watching a few of these has given me some inspiration because boy names are probably the hardest for us. We cannot agree on a boy name to save our life! Here I have a list of 5 girl names and 5 boy names I love, but either Kyle and I didn't agree on it or we found a name we like more.
Girl Names:
1. Harper: This is just one of those names that has always stuck with me but unfortunately there has always been names that I love a little bit more.
2. Harlow: Harlow was pretty close to being Everly's name actually, and it's still a name I love but Kyle isn't a fan so this one was a no go.
3. Olivia: I have always loved this name but now it is just way too common.
4. Eloise: This name is so old fashioned sounding and adorable! I love the nickname Ellie to go with it, but I have a close friend who named her daughter Eloise so this one was out!
5. Scarlett: If I didn't already have 2 names that were at the top I think Scarlett would be a serious contender lol. Girl names for me have always been easy to love so it's hard to narrow down a favourite!
Right now, we have 2 names that we LOVE if it is another girl. And I think our plan is to just see what the baby looks like and see if the name fits. I didn't think I would be one of those moms who had a few names and wanted to wait and see what the baby looked like, but I just love both these names so much. If I can't wait until the baby and it is a girl, I may just pick a name out of a hat!
Boy Names:
1. Oliver : I have always loved this name, I also love the little nickname Ollie. I just think it is the sweetest little boy name! But Kyle hates the name Oliver (mostly because of Oliver from the O.C lol) so that name was out!
2. Benson: This is such a random name lol, but I am obsessed with Law and Order SVU, and Olivia Benson is my favourite character. The more I said this name out loud the more I loved it as a boy's name. Buut like the others, this one was too out there for Kyle so we tossed it.
3. Liam: This is Kyle's favourite and one he fought really hard for. I just didn't like how common it was, and also it is just too close to our nephew's name so I cut it.
4. Mason: When I was pregnant with Everly this was a name I for sure thought I wanted. Mason has been one of my favourites for a long time and I thought for sure Kyle would like it too. This one was actually a top contender, but when we found the boy name we have picked out I just loved it way more.
5. Eli: This was another name I have had in the back of my mind when I was pregnant with Everly and we didn't know what she was yet.
Boy names have proven to be the toughest for us. When it comes to boy names I like the ones that are a bit more on the unique side, and Kyle likes the ones that are a bit more common. We do have our boy name picked out and it is one we have had for a while (before I became pregnant with baby #2), and I love it so much! It's a good strong name I think.
I'm always curious when it comes to kid names, are there ones you guys love but know you wouldn't use?!
