Baby name poll

Hmmm...I don't want anything too different but I also don't want a name that's too common, my other girls are Maeve and Alaina. My concern about Linnea is having to tell people how to pronounce and spell it, but it sounds so pretty. Names are so hard for us to decide on and I love seeing what people who are more objective think of a name.

I love Claire, it's classic. Of course I named my daughter Rowan because it was so unique and special to me.

Congrats with the new baby on the way!! I like the name Claire-

For my son I had picked out Elias-then I had family members talk me out of it!! With my first child if it was a boy the name was Matthew-but I had a Sarah-so when I got pregnet the second time everyone just thought the name was Matthew--so I ended up naming him Matthew and there were six born with that name on the floor-that week- Go with the name you like......My brother and his wife just had a baby boy named Henery

I'll vote up top too, but still going with Emily. Now that I think of it, Emmaline is nice (and different).

I have a niece named Emmaline
We call her Emmy.

I've noticed a big trend in people naming boys with very short strong sounding names. Viking Warrior names, almost. So Tuff doesn't surprise me, although I do feel he got stuck with a stinker of a name. Tuff could easily have been an endearing pet name that the family used for him and he could have still had his dignity with a "proper" name in reserve.

I love Henery, Sharon!

Beachy - Emily would have become Emma without a doubt, so that made me think of Emmaline. I like it, it's different yet easy to recognize and pronounce.

Me too. I don't know how I have a 'Dalton' ...... I wanted to name him Andrew and my ex wanted to name him Rio. lol Dalton was a good compromise.

They are all beautiful names though

I like Dalton, it was one I considered but hubby said no. I also really liked Dean.

It is so hard to pick out names! I think boys names are eaiser to pick out! I work in a Salon and sometimes my JAW drops when women come in and tell me the names they have picked out for there babies on the way....For some reason I love Amish names like

ELI-Samuel-Matthew-David-Elias-Natheniel-
Sarah-Emma-Emily-Rebecca-Mary-Elizabeth

Good OLE' fashion names works for me-I Try to tell the young girls that come in that are expectiing that your child will be working in a office or maybe become a
lawyer or a Doctor-Names are very important! My beef with names is when they take the parents names and mix them up and come up with this god awful name that you cant even spell if you tried! The salon I work in -is in -kind of like a small city and it is very dirverse ( I hope I spelled it right LOL) many different cultures there! I had a 17 year old come in to get her haircut that was due anyime now and she said she was having a girl and the baby's name was going to be Emily-anne there were 3 women in the salon 35 in age plus and they all turned around in shock (because were thinking she was going to pick somehting funky) and all 3 women told her Great choice beautful name!!

I agree with some of the past posts I not a big one for nick manes either! My son is Matthew and I write a note always on the first day of school that his name is is Matthew not Matt- or Matty-Last year the teacher had told me she called him Matt and he would not even look up until she called him Matthew!

But to the Mom that her son is named Matt (great choice) (lol) I am sure once my son is older he will go with the name Matt..If that is what he wants! either way it is a beautiful name!!!!

That is the one problem we have with Sam's name. Most people automatically call him Sam, but there always has to be one person who will try to call him Sammy. Even at 4 he'll tell that isn't his name, that his name is Sam or Samuel. I've even had adults get offended when he's corrected them -- maybe if they had listened when I introduced him the 4 year old wouldn't have had to correct them!

awww...I love the name Sammy (but I will be good) I used to get called all sorts of nick names with Christine as a name.
The only one I ever got riled over was Chrissy.
