How’d you pick your baby’s name?

JD • Proud mama 💙🌻

Now that we’ve all (obviously) come up with and named our baby the perfect name, how’d you pick it? Lol

My son is Brody Marvin. He was nameless for his first 3 days of life. He was almost an Axel. I was set that that would be his name. When he came out he def was not an Axel! I tossed around Brody a few times during pregnancy, but didn’t think I’d end up with that name. I heard it once years ago and when I saw him that’s the name he fit best! Lol

Marvin is his dads middle name so I didn’t really put too much thought in it 🤷🏼‍♀️ even tho we’re not together I still think it fits lol.

We have a two year old named Octavia. We really struggled to pick a name for our little guy and wanted something that sounded right with his sister names. I searched all kinds of weird, unusual and obscure baby names. We ended up with Atlas.

I wanted Sawyer but my boyfriend said that was a boys name lol, I fought hard for Sawyer but we couldnt agree. He wanted Evelynn, I had an Aunt in my family I adored named Evelynn but everyone hate it and disliked her. We decided when we did pick a name we wouldnt tell anyone till she was born. It was hard but we made it and didnt tell a soul her name till she was born. Anyway we were lying in bed one night and I was naming off names and I said "Madison" he said I like that. Well a few weeks later we were in Bandon Oregon looking for an easy access beach since I was seven months pregnant and couldn't really treck up and down stairs. We got lost on this street that just happened to be Madison Avenue. So to us it was a sign and that day Madison was agreed upon. Her middle name was always going to be Gail after her dads mom who meant the world to him who passed away before I even got to meet her. When baby girl was born and even now to me she fits Madison Gail perfectly!

Our little mans name is Cullen Vaughn! Cullen is after my husbands great grandfather and Vaughn comes from his poppas middle name which is Slyvonne! We loved the idea of naming him after family and our second baby will definitely have a family name also💙💙

My son’s name is Jude Achille Joseph. We chose the first name Jude because for a girl we loved the name June, so when we found out we were having a boy, Jude was short and sweet like June so it stuck! We also needed a first name that worked in French and English because my husband is French and I’m American and we live in France. Achille is after my husband’s grandpa and Joseph is my dad and my brother’s middle name.

my husband was the one that picked out the name for our son. years ago when we were just talking we would play 21 questions a lot & idk how the question came up about kids & he told me if he ever had a boy he would name him Sincere & ever since then that name stuck with me. So when we found out we were having a boy we chose Sincere & for his middle name Bryant his father’s name.

Rhett Larkon... Well my 1st boy I wanted his middle name to be Larkon and my husband insisted on him being named after him so Charles Thomas III, my 2nd boy I wanted I wanted Chase Larkon well my husband wanted Dale as a middle name so he wound up being Trenton Dale after his mom made a joke about Chasing Dale around the track.... So here is our 3rd RHETT LARKON!!! I told him his middle name was Larkon from the day we found out we were pregnant (because I knew it was another boy) and we both loved Rhett.

William is my husband middle name and his grandfathers first name.Howard was my grandfathers and my father in laws middle name.We thought it was perfect to include both families and come to find out at Christmas, my husbands grandfathers full name is actually William Howard. Boy was he proud to meet the little boy unintentionally named after him.

My son is Ozias Indigo, and his nickname is Ozzie. I’ve always liked unique names and I love names with nicknames. When I first found out he was a boy, we were gonna go with Lennox but I decided it didn’t feel right. I also liked Giovanni, Roman, and Zeus. None of those fit either. I found the name Ozias online and it means salvation which I love. I have never heard the name before and I love that it is unique with a cute nickname. His middle name comes from his dads nickname in college, which is derived from the concept of “indigo children” who are described as gifted souls chosen to help guide us to a more peaceful, loving, and understanding world. I absolutely love his name I think it fits him beautifully and is one of a kind just like he is!!!

I absolutely love Ozais. I was convinced we were having a boy, turned out to be a girl but we had the name Otis Ozais picked out. You have a beautiful baby by the way!
