So here is my list:

Boys Names:
• Aaron
• Ashton
• Braxton
• Braydon
• Bryson
• Devin
• Gavin
• Grayson
• Ian
• Jackson
• Jordan
• Maddox
• Payton
• Tristen

Girls Names:
• Ainsley
• Aislinn
• Alexis
• Ashlynn
• Bronwyn
• Eden
• Ella
• Grace
• Katelynn
• Madison
• Marissa
• Olivia
• Phoebe
• Samara
• Savannah
• Sophia
• Sydney

Tell me what you like, what you don't like, and why. And, please feel free to suggest names that are not on the list. Im open. Obviously I have a thing for names that end in N. Both of my boys's names end in N. Austin and Owen. So, I'm not sure if it would sound strange if I didn't do that this time. It's easier with boys than it is with girls. I need to narrow this down. LOL. Help?

1 vote each from me for the fourth one down on each of your lists.

Braydon
Ashlynn

Not a fan of Sophia, Phoebe, Olivia, or Braxton. I don't hate any of them. I just like the others better.

And Eden is really pretty too.

I love Ashton, that's ds's name. ;) However, it might be difficult to yell all three names one after another (when looking at your other dc's names). I love Ian and Maddox. Payton is good name, too.

For girls, I love love love Ainsley. I would have named Mia Sophia (called her Sophie), but I was on an "A" kick AND my ex-bf's wife (don't ask, long story) named her dd (not his, another guy while they were married, again long story), Sophia and screwed it up for me. :mad: I also like Olivia and Sydney.

For a girl I like Alexies the most ;), next choice is Ashlynn.

For a boy I like Jackson the most, next choice Bryson.

Some of the names can have nicknames. You will need to decide if you like the nicknames. I wanted Madison for a girl, but didn't like Maddie as a nickname.

My dd goes by Lexie for Alexis.

I do not like trendy names, and most of the ones you have listed are very trendy or much too popular. I prefer classic, traditional names, like: Catherine, Sarah, David, Andrew

Braxton I'd always think "Braxton Hicks contractions" whenever I saw it.

Of the ones you have listed the only ones I like even remotely are Aaron and Olivia. (and Sydney, sorry... that's an old guy's name, no matter how you spell it).

The only slightly non-traditional name I like would be for a girl, and that would be Simone.

Devin or Maddox for a boy. I love the name Peyton, but I can only imagine a little girl (I know one named it).

Ainsley, Madison, or Savannah for a girl. I LOVE the name Savannah.

Oh, I do like Sydney. (I think of Sid Vicious when I hear it)

I like Payton for a boy and Jackson because I love when little boys are named Jack.
I have to say that Payton seems to click with Austin and Owen in my mind.

I love the name Ella for a girl.

If we had a girl her name would of been Stella or Lilah. I'm a little partial to those. :D

I like Aaron and Ian. None of the other names appeal to me.

Out of the girls' names you listed, I'd pick Ella or Sophia with Marissa a thirs choice.

Austin, Owen, and Devin
Austin, Owen, and Gavin
Austin, Owen, and Greyson

I like these because where I live I don't hear these all the time, they are less common, and still in the "en" sound theme.

Austin, Owen, and Ian
Austin, Owen, and Jackson
Austin, Owen, and Jordan
Austin, Owen, and Tristen

I like these, even though they are more common. I like Jackson because I have one :) and I think out of all of the boys names I like Tristen the best with your boys' names.


Austin, Owen, and Bronwyn
Austin, Owen, and Eden
Austin, Owen, and Sophia

These are three of my personal favorite girl names

Austin, Owen, and Samara
Austin, Owen, and Sydney

I like these because they are less common and both sound good with your boys' names

Thanks for your input ladies :) Sophia is really growing on me for some reason. What do you think of Sophia Grace? we probably call her sophie.

I showed dh my list and of all those names he said the only boy name he likes is Ian. Out of the girls he liked Shophia, Katelynn, Marissa, and He said Maybe to Ella and Alexis.

Hmm, good thing we have 7 months to decide.. :)

The only name on your list that I really don't like much is Braxton.

I like Gavin and Jackson for boys.

I like Phoebe for a girl (but I'm biased - I have a Phoebe!)

If you don't mind me asking, what is her middle name? Im having trouble putting middle names with Phoebe.

I got my daughters name froma romance novel.. It was a princess. Her name is Alesandra Yvonne. My sis daughters name is Kaleigh Renee. And if I ever have another girl I would like to use the name Elliana Marie. My boys names are Jorge Ernesto and Luis Daniel. I would love to use the name Antonio for another boy.

Since I teach school, I'd have to delete some from the list simply based on that. :p

As for boys' names, I like Aaron except my family would be likely to pronounce it with a long A. Jordan sounds like a girl. I don't like the spelling of Payton; I'd go with Peyton if I were going to choose that name. One of my favorite people when I was growing up was named Grayson, so I think that could be a good name. I also like Adrian, which is not on your list.

As for girls' names, Sophia and Olivia are okay. If I were going to name a child Katelynn, I'd spell it Caitlyn; I personally don't like names that look like someone combined two popular names into one.

Sophia Grace sounds beautiful!

I like Ian for a boy, i had thought about that name, but i had a girl. My DDs name is Catherine Faye.

I also like Eden.
