We like the following-


Leah Elizabeth


Corrina Grace


Finley Isabel- ( I loved this name, Lisa Marie Presley just had twins and named one of them Finley, so i'm kinda done with this name lol)


Emma [ insert middle name here haha ]





Ethan Clark ( ethan is the #1 baby boy name in my state )


Noah Garrett ( Noah is # 10, lol )


Connor Joseph ( I have 2 friends with newborns named ConnER and Conor)





Baby name advice is desperatley needed!

A popular baby name every single time!?
My son is named one of your "millionth" names. No, we didn't intend to give him a super-popular name, in fact at the time we thought it was rare, but I think that when you are going to choose a name based on how it sounds as opposed to what it means to you, you will run that risk. We kind of tend to like similar sounds at the same time, just like fashion trends and popular music.





By the way, asking here is great way to predict what names EVERYBODY is into right now, so be sure to consider the fact that you are polling for popularity, not super-uniqueness, in this forum.





You will not be mortified if there is another Ethan, Noah or Connor, or Leah, Corrina, Finley or Emma in his or her class at school, so if that is the way you are feeling, go with it. After a very short time, your child's individuality will influence how you hear the name you picked, and you'll think, "No way that kid is a (your favorite name here), it doesn't fit him/her!"





I have noticed, though that parents who pick a name for meaning, or to honor someone special in their lives like a grandparent, etc, have more satisfaction with their kids' names and are less likely to care how popular the name is. As long as you can live with the choice, who cares what everybody else thinks? Otherwise, it is a frantic search for the "special" name no one has heard of. That is a frustrating road to walk, and no guarantee that you haven't just discovered the next big trend.





Congrats and good luck! We are due the same day!
Reply:I am glad you are done with Finley. It is a masculine boy's name and is horrid on a little girl.

I like Finley Isabel too.

Ethan Clark is cute.


Noah is cute but I don't like Garrett, Noah Connor is kinda cute.





My favorites are:





Leah Elizabeth %26amp; Ethan Clark

Reply:Leah Elizabeth is really pretty, i like that :) I love the name Grace but im not too keen on Corrina, sorry. Finley is a really nice name, and it goes with Isabel. What about Emma Rose?





I like the name Ethan, but my faourite boys name is Connor Joeseph :)





Good luck x
Reply:Leah Elizabeth is really cute! You could maybe use Emma Finley?





I love all of your boy names! I would say Connor Joseph, but since you have two friends with babies named Connor, I would say Noah. I don't really like Noah Garrett but I like Noah Joseph.








Good luck! :)
Reply:It has prov-en that children with typical (popular) names social well. Both my kids had the top baby name for the year they were born. Their names suit them. BTW I have a popular name and I think it is GREAT! I love my name even though I share it with my boss.

I think Corrina Grace is lovely.

Reply:umm what about courtney - mae?
Reply:I love Corinna Grace! I love Leah as well. But Elizabeth is such a common middle name! One of my personal favorites is Leah Ruth. Leah Isabel is pretty too. I like Emma, but it's really common. Isabel is gorgeous. I don't like Finley





I like Garrett, why not have that as a first name? Jonah could be a less popular alternative to Noah. I love Jonah!

Reply:there is nothing wrong with having a popoluar name, my name is lyndsey and in my year in school there were more than ten people with this name. so in 1984 this was an extremely popular name.





a couple of years ago when my best friend was having her first baby she called her elisha, around this time names like elisha, alisha, alyssa, alethia were all extremely popular.





i also have two very close friends who have boys called callum, one is 10 and the other is 4 but still they chose the same name.





When i was growing up i had a group of friends and in the group their was 4 chris's. christopher is an extremely popular name but i still think it is lovely.





I always loved the name Thomas for a boy, and vowed from i was a teenager to call my first boy Thomas, however when i met my fiance Thomas, he has refused lol, none of that father son with the same name lol, but hey am still getting the name i want.





It is so hard to think of baby names, and some people do it easily. I always said i would call my first daughter eve or evie as a shorter version of my dear grandmother who passed away, but my sister called her daughter eva.





just you chose what you want, remember that you may change your mind when the baby is born, my sisters son was going to be ben and all the way thtough the pregnancy he was ben and then when he was born it was matthew.
