Not So Much Fun When You've Found Names!

I've picked names out for a boy and a girl...for now. I love searching for names but it's kind of disappointing when you've found names and no real need to look anymore. If I keep looking I'll just keep coming up with new names, not what I want when I feel strongly about the names that I've picked. I think I have too much time to come up with names, not being pregnant yet. Anyone else feeling like I do?
The names that I'm loving:
Brittan Leandra
Garran Landis
Several others that I was once considering:

Meghan Leandra

Taryn Andra

As you can see, I've been through many, many names, lol. I imagine others have as well.

Wow...you have been through lots of names. You and I have completely different taste, because I prefer more traditional names, while hardly any of yours are traditional (and you've altered the spellings of those that are traditional). At any rate, here is my only suggestion: since you already have two boys, I think I would probably pick a girl's name that was maybe a little more feminine, so that when you see the names written together, it's clear that you have two boys and a girl. Ethan, Logan, and Brittan is unclear (maybe just because I know a little boy named Britton). Particularly, I really love both Maren (or Marin) and Sadie...and for the middle, Alessandra has sort of the same sound as Leandra, but it's a little more feminine and less harsh. I think Ethan, Logan, and Sadie Alessandra or Maren Alessandra is an adorable sibling set. For the boy, I really like Callahan Rhys. It's unique enough, but doesn't sound completely unusual or made-up. Ethan and Logan are such common names, so I don't like Garran next to them. But I love Callahan! My favorite boy name (and I just put it together using your list of names) is Camden Callahan. The alliteration is nice, and Camden is a strong name, like Ethan and Logan (and it ends with the "N" sound, like your other boys).
Do you think you'll be having your third soon? Congratulations on your family! How old are your boys?
I feel the same as you...I don't have any kids, but the second I decide on a name I love, I feel bored. I just have to keep looking! And this board makes it worse, because there are always great names circulating here that I never would have even thought about by myself!
I'm not pregnant yet either. I'm driving DH crazy with all the potential names. I find a couple of names I really like then after a few days I see it I still like the
Thanks for the suggestions. My boys are 6 and 3. We are planning on trying to conceive in Spring 2007. I think Alessandra is too close to Alexandra. Dh doesn't like Camden or Callahan. I love Camden and have for awhile, I'm not sure of the flow of Camden Callahan, both having the same ending. Also, our last name starts with a K and is 3-syllables. Sadie and Marin don't pop out at me like Brittan does. I've been stuck on Garran for a long time. I'm wanting something more different because Ethan and Logan are common. Any suggestions are always welcome, though.

I wouldn't be able to wait until the baby's here to choose a name, lol. We usually have a name chosen within the first half of the pregnancy. I'd go nuts not having a name decided going into the birth.
