Okay, I know I'm only 12 weeks pregnant but it's fun to think of baby names so give me a little slack :)
Our first child's name is Oliver James
If we have a girl, we are pretty settled on Elizabeth Jane
So now... What if we have another boy?
As you can see we like the older names. I THINK we are going to go with Thomas for a first name (My husband's thoughts on this change every time I ask him, but for right now it's what I'm going to work with).
Thomas Henry (nick name for Henry could be Hank)
Thomas James (TJ or he might go by his middle name - James, Jim, Jimmy)
Thomas George
Thomas Trenton
Thomas Justin
Why not look in your family tree and see what you can use there? Yes, I realize that Justin is your husband’s name, however, it’s an idea.
Why not name him or her after grandparents? Or even great grand parents? Mix it up - try Thomas as the middle name.
Robert Thomas
Thomas Gregory
Charles Thomas
Christopher Thomas
Thomas Edward
Richard Thomas
There are a lot of great names out there. Go to your local day care and find out what names are being used in the infant room - this will help you know what NOT to name your child! Especially as you get closer to the deliver date…
I’m not great with this sort of thing, but I will say to always look at the last name too, and make sure the 3 initials don’t spell anything you wouldn’t want on a monogram or that they don’t give other kids something to tease your son about. Friends of mine have a “F.A.D.” and others have "A.M.P.) which caused the kids to be teased in science class when they learned about amps and wattage! And those are the tame ones. I can’t even list the worst ones I’ve seen.
You could also think about whether you want to name him after someone in the family, either with the exact name or with the first initial.
Thomas Michael
Michael Thomas
Thomas Andrew
Thomas Alexander
Thomas Benjamin
David Thomas
Thomas Bradly
To me, I like Justin more for a first name: Justin Thomas ( you might get JT then, be aware!)
You can use the same middle name if you wanted to.
All the girls on both my mom & dad’s sides of the family all have the same middle name.
Kind of an odd coincidence that it was a family name on both sides.
