[Chadstroma]

We have narrowed down the girl name to

Penelope Oak

or

Cecelia James

When I hear Penelope, I think either this or Cruz. Neither with the best noses in the world. I like the name but that is the two things/people I think of. I like Cecelia.

Where did the middle names come from? Is James a family surname? I just ask because it is a pretty masculine name to me.

James is my FIL's name. Oak has no significant meaning.

Much better Moops.

 

[Otis]

OAK???

 

[Chadstroma]

wife wants to name our baby Dawson...how can i convince her that it's a terrible name

Start nicknaming the kid 'Creek'

 

[Worm]

Need a middle name to go with "Elizabeth". Our last name is long as well, so something short is preferred. Unique is ok.

Give me some good suggestions so my wife doesn't get her way and we use "Shae".

 

[the moops]

OAK???

It's a middle name.

 

[eoMMan]

Maple sounds better, imo.

 

[zed2283]

OAK???

It's a middle name.

Please corroborate with one other couple who has either considered this name or actually given it to their kid so I can add it to the list.Same goes for James so I can add it to the girls' list. Give me a break.eta: Make the middle name Jamie or something.

OAK???

friend of mine was given the middle name of a certain 70s cartoon character. it's not just a middle name when you're in elementary/high school.that said, i don't dislike it but that may have more to do with my ongoing moopscrush than anything

Not sure why we have two stupid baby name threads, but ok.So what's wrong with the Jamie idea?

 

[Otis]

How bout "Cedar"?

 

[the moops]

We all liked the single, city-living Otis better. The suburbs have really brought you down several notches.

And Cedar isn't a bad name actually.

 

[Cassius]

Oof.

Elizabeth Ann seems to be the best bet not knowing your last name...

 

[Chadstroma]

Elizabeth Marie is my fav.

 

[Worm]

Elizabeth Ann seems to be the best bet not knowing your last name...

This is my favorite as well. It is also my wife's middle name, which I think is neat, but she's never been a fan. She may be coming around though.Recently suggested by me:Elizabeth ClaireElizabeth MaeAlso suggested Marie the other day, but that got nixed immediately.

 

[the moops]

Ann and Lynn and Marie are far too overused middle names.

Certainly don't have that problem with Oak.

Elizabeth Zoe

 

[CrossEyed]

I know a couple that has 3 boys named Mason, Miles, and Daxton. Good luck finding bicycle license plates for those kids.

Mason and Miles aren't all that uncommon. Send pickles a PM, he can give you their rankings.

Oak and James are great middle names for a girl.

Because I think Oak is an odd name?

Yes. That is SO provincial in thinking. Duh.

possibly the only middle name women can use apparently

Mason = #34 with a bulletMiles = #162 and also skyrocketing

 

[FUBAR]

1. Logan: A combination of my wife's name and my favorite aunt's name, and a kickass comic hero.

2. Andrew: the church we were married.

3. Parker: we just like the name, and another kickass comic hero

4. Sawyer: wife liked the name, I quickly realized it's a combination of Soldier / Lawyer, took us 4 tries but this is my favorite name.

[The Sniper]

Only good name on that list is Ella.

If you don't mind her being one of at least 3 Ellas in her class. That name is so overused.

I agree. The middle name is where you can get real creative with no regrets. Definitely wish I would've done more with my kids middle names. Good for you.

Strange family dynamic when poor little Andrew is the one who hangs his head in shame.

 

[wlwiles]

I get at least one phone call a week at work that goes like this:

Me: Engineering dept, this is Andrew (the name I go by).

Caller: Uh, um, I was looking for Nathan.

Me: This is Nathan.

Caller: But you said this was Andrew.

Me: It is, my name is Nathan Andrew.

Caller: Ohh

I had to correct every schoolteacher I ever had, and any official documentation has to include full name since I don't go by my first name. My kids will absolutely be called by their first names...

 

[Abraham]

Only good name on that list is Ella.

If you don't mind her being one of at least 3 Ellas in her class. That name is so overused.

I think my niece thats due in july is going to be named Ella, primarily because of a complete lack of creativity by the parents. I've already got two or three names for boys and girls ready to go when we have another and I'm not telling anyone.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

You'll probably need to tell the kid at some point.

[the moops]

Hudson?

 

[El Floppo]

Hudson?

Only if you go with Hawk as the middle name... or not- it's pretty much implied.Wife and I toyed with using a street name from our neighborhood- Avea (Ave A), Essex (I knew would end up with kid being called Sexy their whole life), Rivington, First Avenue. The wife also wanted to name him- no ####- after Bono (U2, not Sonny) and call him Hewson.

Hmmmm... but are you going to call her June-bug?Due date is coming up pretty fast, right?We've got a girl coming too and so far it looks like it's going to alliterate with our son's name... not sure how I feel about that. Especially considering his name already alliterates with both of our last names (hyphenated).

So you go by your middle name but no one calling engineering knows that?
