Baby Names!

My thyroid issues are causing me some problems with getting pregnant so, in the meanwhile, I've been occupying my time by daydreaming about all things baby-related. One of my favorite things to think about is baby naming! Since middle school, I've kept running lists of the baby names I like. They've changed (thankfully) over the years but I thought I would start keeping the list on here since this has become a list of the lists I keep.

Girls!
  • Ada--DH's grandmother's name
  • Amelia
  • Arden
  • Beatrice/Beatrix
  • Brynn/Brenna
  • Camilla
  • Carys
  • Claire
  • Darby--means "free man" and my maiden name is Freeman
  • Della
  • Ellery
  • Evangeline
  • Evelyn---current fave is Mary Evelyn, who would be called M.E.
  • Gemma
  • Hadley
  • Harper--DH both like, but is becoming trendy
  • Hazel
  • Iris
  • Ivy
  • Landry
  • Liesl--might be a little too German with our last name
  • Lucille
  • Lydia

  • Maren/Marin
  • Marianne/Mariana
  • Miller
  • Palmer--as in Palmer House, where we got married
  • Perri--DH is orginally from Perry County, Indiana
  • Phoebe
  • Piper--might have too much of a music connection to be cool
  • Rose
  • Tess
  • Violet
  • Vivian
  • Wallis--my grandfather's name was Wallace
  • Willa/Willow--DH's unused first name is William and he doesn't like any of the boy versions

  • Finn--one of my current faves
  • Fletcher
