baby needs a name!
| Sun, 04-01-2007 - 8:57pm |
For my DD, we were sitting in the labor room with our baby name books out - my dr said he wouldn't deliver the baby if we hadn't at least narrowed the names down:)

Let's start with boys because, for some reason, that one just seems easier to me! I am very partial to the name Jack, absolutely love it, think it grows well (is cute for a kid and grows incredibly well). I also like the idea of honoring both your DH and his father with Garrett. So, with all that said, Jack Garrett absolutely gets my vote for a boy's name!
As for girls, this is a little trickier. I don't absolutely "love" the names you have when they are paired with Camryn, so a few others that kind of fit into your guidelines (L, M, or D) and that I think flow a little better:
Camryn & Madison Lucy
Camryn & Molly Lauren
Camryn & Morgan Ella
Camryn & Miriam Lucy
Camryn & Miley Lauren
Camryn & Mackenzie Lauren
Also, in honor of your grandfather, Lauren/Lauryn would be a great way of honoring him, although, I don't know about Lauren as a fn because of the the flow of Camryn & Lauren/Lauryn. Could be cute though.
Good Luck!
Cami is one of my most favorite nicknames :)
Here are my thoughts:
Jack Garrett flows nicely and since Camryn is still unisex I like that you know for sure it is boys name, kwim? The only down side is that odds are there will be another Jack since this name is extremely popular. However, the most important factor is that you love the name, and if Jack is that name go for it!
Alexander, Owen and Ryan - of these three my favorite is Owen. Alexander most common nn Alex and I think that Camryn and Alex could easily be seen as 2 girls. If you do chose this name maybe the Xander nickname would be best. Camryn and Ryan can also been seen as two girls.

Thank you all sooo much for all the time and effort that you put into this - I have been through each reply about 10 times - and I am sure that I will go through them all a ton more - you have given us some great options - It is soooo tough to choose a name - it is so forever in my mind that it is such a huge responsibility.
