new! 3 weeks to go/don't know sex :P

3 Weeks to go and we are still having trouble! We are keeping the sex a surprise for the first time and I think it's making things harder!. I've been lurking for a while, looking for ideas but we're still not sure.

This will be baby number 6 altogether, DH has 11 year old twin daughters from a previous relationship, they are Audrey Hope and Averil Grace. Our boys are Nathan Edward Thomas (6), Zachary Michael(5) and Tyler Jacob (3). They are Nate, Zach and Ty 90% of the time.

For boy names we have nothing that we love. Middle name will be John, William, or Randy if we can make it work.
we like :
Lucas
Griffin
Nicholas
thats all so far :(

The twins spend most of their time with us and are extremely excited about our new arrival. They are really hoping for a girl, the boys drive them crazy :)
Some ideas they have come up with:
Natalia
Calista... I think I like Calissa/Calyssa nn Callie
Madison - wont happen

They also like the idea of us using Faith as a middle name to match their middle names. Other then that mn will be Michelle or Ellen Faith/Faith Ellen

DH and I like

Leah.. or possibly Elliyah/Eliyah/Ellia/Elleah or some other sp. after gramas Ellen and Lia
Mattea
Adria
Lenea

wdyt??

our boys and girls styles are slightly different, but I mostly concerned with a boys name sounding good with the boys. thanks.. any input is appreciated. I'm excited at the possible naming of a little girl! and having a hard time coming up with boys names I love as much as Nate, Zach and Ty. I also found my boys taste slipping to the trendy side with names like Aiden and Caden on the list, and Finn! but dh hates them and they don't fit anyways. :P

Congrats on the new baby!
I think it is sweet that the girls want the mn Faith to match their middle names. I had a friend growing up (Kirsten - with an er not ear sound at the beginning) and she had brothers named Nate, Zach and Matt. I always thought it was a nice sib set. The boys named matched in style and then the girl name had a unique flair to it.
Of your 3 names for boys I like Lucas nn Luke the best. Nick is a little too close to Nate. And Griffin does not seem to be the same style.
A couple other boy names that might fit:
Matthew
Jonathan
Jack
Scott ****
Christopher

For girls I like Calissa nn Callie, and Ellia nn Ellie.
A couple other ideas:
Olivia nn Livy
Loralei nn Lila
Tatum
Corinne or Cora

Hope that helps!
Good Luck and Congrats again

I love Lucas for a boy. Lucas John is a great combo.

For a girl, I like Natalia (I know one who is wonderful), Leah, Mattea and Linnea (spelled this way).

Adria makes me think of the Adriatic Sea.

Nice choices. :)

AJ, enjoying life with C.

Thanks for all your input and suggestions, DH had a look and lurked the rest of the board for awhile. He also likes Linnea sp. We narrowed our girls list a little

Mattea Faith Ellen
Leah Faith - I don't know about how Ellen sounds with this one -wdyt?
Linnea Faith -same here, I think it's all the L's

Mattea tops the list, we are just worried about "Matty" which we like, just not as much with all the "Maddy's" out there. It may not matter.

Nicholas is out and Griffin's been vetoed. Lucas John tops the list.
DH decided last night he also likes Austin and Aaron. I've always loved Aaron, Lucas/Luke just seems to go better with the boys.

thanks again.

Well I have to say I like your choice for the boys' names so far ;)
