Need a baby name asap

I am having baby #3 in 5 days!! I still don't have a name. My hubby and I cannot agree on anything. We don't know if we are having a boy or girl. I am desperate for suggestions. Our two kids both start with an A, and are very traditional names. We didn't plan the A theme, but it happened. I am not stuck on the idea of another A baby. It seems kind of forced to me, but it is important to dad. If we have a boy I know the middle name will be Steve after my dad who recently passed away. Our last name is one syllable that starts with ST.

Some of my favorites so far are
Nicholas
Lucas

Emma
Madilyn
(love both, but seem too popular now)

Hubby likes
Colton
Peyton
Bailey

Alyssa
Aliya

Help!!

maybe something that matches your other kids names.....your names are very modern and his names are unique. maybe you name first name and he name middle. good luck with both the name and the labor :]

Boys:


Nicholas, Lucas - since mn is Steve & ln also starts with ST, I think these 2 might be a little too much S


Colton - this might be a good compromise since it's similar to Nicholas, which you like


Peyton, Bailey - is hubby aware these names are both used

Love, love, love Alyssa! There's also Marissa (which would be a compromise between Alyssa & Madelyn?).

How about Cole or Colby for a boy? That might be a compromise between Nicholas & Colton.

i think that you have some great choices. One to add to the list is Ava if you wanted to stick to the A theme. Good luck

I love Nicholas...but it is common.
Lucas is nice...and less common...sorta.
Colton is not my fav.
Peyton and Bailey are girls names to me.

Emma and Aliya don't thrill me.
Madilyn sounds cute but I like Madeleine better.
Alyssa is nice.
Or Ericca, Eris, Amelia....

hello!! hopefully this messege makes it to you in time-lol. now for boys, i like lucas, nicholas AND colton...in keeping with the traditional names and as far as the mn being steve, i like nicholas best. theres so many nns that i like from nicholas too-nick, nico, nicky, or nic...so i think that would be your best choice there...now, i like madilyn and emma, but yes they are very poopular. although, i have not run across an emma ever...i DO know 2 madelines (spelled like this), but one is my age-27-and one is an older lady at my church-id say 60's or 70's. i know 3 or 4 alyssas and im not too fond of aliya so id have to say no on both of those...heres a few more traditonal names that you guys might like instead:
lauren
annabelle
erica
blanche
jocelyn
allison
samantha
amanda
julia
or
krista...

good luck!!
