Q: Names For My Munchkin
asked by: Zanny on July 27th, 2006
Supporter
This has gotta be the hardest decision ever! If it was completely up to me, it'd be a lot easier, but the father doesn't like a lot of the names I like.. So I end up back where I started.. Pcch men =p

as I don't know the sex yet i'm still thinking of names for both boys and girls... The one thing I definitely know is that no matter what, for a girl I would use the middle name .Michelle, as it's my sister's name. For a boy I think the middle name would be either .Robert (it's kind of a tradition in my family) or .James.

The name I really like for a boy is .Matthew, and I don't think i'm going to change my mind about it.. But I want to make sure, so i'm still looking for inspiration.

For a girl it's a lot harder.. I thought .Jennifer was going to be our choice.. But since i've reconsidered. I have a few more weeks to think about it, after all.

I really like .Aria... It's a pretty name, and reflects my family's musical background. I also like the idea of a more unusual name.

What do you think? And does anyone else have any ideas for musical names? Apart from the usual .Harmony and .Melody, that is =p

Well out of the names you're thinking about I like .Aria the best because the other ones seem a bit too popular for my liking! Though I really like the short form jen for jennifer. I also love when little boys are called jamie, but you were considering james for the middle name. Jamie was one of the names I was considering for a boy and sort of like james. Have you got a name book to go through? I really like Babynames.Com, it has a really good selection compared to other places.

I haven't got a book yet, but i'm gunna get one.. I've been on a few baby names websites, and there are so many I got bored going through each page.. Plus some of those baby name ideas are very strange!

I found the suggestion of .Adolph funny though... It wouldn't really work for me, as my surname isn't .Hitler and neither is my boyfriend's.

Haha yeah it's funny how some names you just don't go with. You aren't going to name your kid adolf, or elvis, or osama. I just don't think anyone goes there with baby names.

But I seriously like .Aria, is it one of your top ones or just being considered?
Kaydence, lirit, lyra, tamber, aaralyn, carmen, carmine, karmina, and lark are all names with musical meanings.

Out of those I really like tamber and lark. Just cause you said you wanted some musical names : ).

Thanks! =)

lark is very pretty.. But doesn't really go with my surname.. That's been a problem so far.. I don't wanna choose "arrr" sounding names (that sounded piratey) or names with a harsh c or k at the beginning... I was originally going to give the baby my boyfriend's surname, but now i've decided to put them together.. So it'll be carter-lee.

Aaralyn is a really nice name, I think I like that one best out of the names you mentioned.. And yeah .Aria is one of my top names, I just don't think my boyfriend likes it very much =(

As robert is a "family tradition" you could always do: aria roberta carter- lee if it's a girl. Do u get to go back to find out the sex?

Do british citizens get more scans than north americans? Because everyone on here for england seems to get way more scans.

I only have to go back next week for another scan because the sonographer couldn't get all the measurements due to my baby being in an awkward position. I might get to find out the sex then!

Most women get two scans, a dating one at around 12 weeks and an anomaly one at around 20 weeks. This will be my third one, so i'm happy.. I get another chance to see my baba =)

Yeah isn't it fun when something technical causes you to have another scan! I am going to need another cause my baby far behind and they need to see it when it's a bit bigger. He also had a really hard time getting measurements because her head was so low in my uterus (though she moved and he got them at the last minute). Now we both get to see our babies again! And it's just so amazing, isn't it worth not knowing the sex? It totally is worth the 70 percent for me and my due date being moved up! And the 25 dollars I have to pay to get pictures.

I guess my hosp was nice cause everyone gets one at 12,19 and 32 weeks. I had 2 more than most at 5 and 9 weeks as I was high risk. And the pics were 5$ for 3.

Well I got 4 for $25 but they are tiny ones, all on one sheet. But I think I get some of the scans he sends to the dr too! And those are free and big. These are just because people can't wait that long to have a picture of their babies. I don't go more than a couple hours looking at the ones I have. I'm completely obsessed with them and looking at my baby.

I'm like that too.. I can't stop looking at my pics. I think i'm lucky that mine are so clear, it's amazing seeing all the details. I say hello to the pics and stuff, I can't help it =p I can't wait til my baby's hearing fully develops, then I can start talking to my bump properly, and singing to it!

Cadence came from that movie european vacation or whatever when the brother and sister started making out. And when they all ate "magical brownies" and started acting loaded and came to the harsh reality that they were just regular brownies!!

I named my friends baby "melody" because her daddy is a guitar player and they didn't want the name cadence because of the movie.

Another name I like is .Aubryn. My friend .Lilia named her baby that and I think it's beautiful!!
