we're not sure if we're having a boy or a girl yet. Our last name is Smith. My first name is Jen and my husband is Mike. We also have a 14 month old son named Jacob Donovan. We need suggestions on names that work with our last name and our son's name (he was actually named by a late family member - long story). Thanks for the help.

Sounds like most names will "go" with your names - that's the great thing about a last name like Smith! Jacob is a really lovely name. :) Congrats on the new pregnancy and here are some suggestions...

If you want to go with a letter theme, what about M names to balance out the family? (Two Js and 2 Ms)

Marcus

Matthew

Milo

Micah

Meredith

Meghan

Margaret/Maggie/Meg

Madeline

If you want to go with a biblical theme, how about these?

Isaiah

Elijah

Zachary

Joshua

Sarah

Rebekah

Naomi

Eve/Eva

If you want to go more trendy, how about these?

Dakota

Sawyer

Colton

Jaden

Aiden

Brianna

Haley

Madison

Isabella

Alexa/Alexys

Maxwell

Girls ~

Mackenzie

Madelyn

Margaret

Makenna

Melisande

Well, I'd go for a different letter but right now I'm getting a hand cramp!

My favorites are Malcolm for a boy ~ Jacob and Malcom, Jake and Mac ~ and Mallory for a girl ~ Jacob and Mallory ~

Good Luck and HTH!!
