Hi Everyone

I am new to the message board. I am expecting in May and I am seeking out unisex names. I already have a daughter named Ryan. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello!

I haven't seen Toby yet? I love this for a girl, and am considering it myself. (If I have a girl, don't know the sex yet!)

Good Luck,

Amanda

I LOVE HADLEY!!!
you are the first person I have seen to post Hadley. DH and my mom both hate it though :(
But it is my favorite for a girl! I am still trying to talk them into it.

I love Hadley too! I'm surprised I left it off my list of suggestions because I've been obsessed with it lately. Good luck convincing your DH to use it, I think it's fantastic!

Thank you to everyone who has provided some feedback.

You all have given wonderful suggestions. My husand has shot down quite a few (he is very picky about this) but you have all definately given a list that we are discussing.

Riley (he doesnt like it)and Baily (the name of his first dog) were my first and second choices but both have been shot down. Blair is now currently on the top of my list and my husband hasnt completely shot it down yet. It may end up being the name.

I will keep you all posted.

Thank you again.

First of all, Good Luck with your 2nd!

We are tryin for our 2nd as well. With our son, we had to decide between Dominick and Brayden (can be spelled a number of ways). We chose Dominick because we fell in love with that name first. But we agreed that the next one will be Braden. (We haven't decided how to spell it.) When I was prego, another mom i knew used it for for daughter. I though it was really cute for either sex.

Hope it helps!
