At a total loss - HELP!

I am really finding it difficult to name Baby #3. Right now the baby is going by "Bananahead Thomas", which is what my four year old has dubbed his new brother or sister, so we really do need some assistance. I have been through every name list I can think of and I just can't come up with anything, so I'm totally opening up the floor. No restrictions, no accounting for taste. Suggest anything and everything you can think of...first name only, middle name only, first and middle together if something comes to you...whatever!

If *you* had a four year old Connor Thomas and a one year old Kadyn May, what would you name your newest addition, set to arrive the end of May? (Dad is Ian Thomas, Jr. and Mom is Kara Jean.)

THANK YOU!!!

Bananahead Thomas! ;-D My 4 year old ds has named this coming baby "Peter Parker" aka spiderbaby.

You seem to have a K sound going on. So how about

for a boy:

Cole Thomas
Colin Thomas (which I really like)

for a girl:

Carrington Anne
Claire Danielle

Don't worry over the idea of sharing middles. My dh is a Belarussian/Russian native and all kids carry a middle name taken from the father's name. Example: my dh is Nicolai so my ds's mn is Nicolaievich and my dd's mn is Nicolaievna.

So, your son and possible new baby son could easily share a middle with their dad. It's a sweet tie between them.

Although I think Bananahead is a beautiful choice, it might cause him or her some problems in school. ;-)

I'll give you the first names that came to me.

Girl:
Cassidy Jane
Carly Rhianne
Charis Jolie
Erin Michelle

Boy:
Aaron Carl
Mason Daniel
Gavin Charles
Christopher John (possible nn CJ)

Since your DS has his dad's mn, I like the idea of using a mn after you -- maybe Carson/Karsyn, John/Jane/Jeanette, or Karina/Carol/Caroline/Carolyn?

Good luck making a final decision! I hope I threw something out there to give you some new ideas.

Since your son has Dad's middle name, I think it would be nice to use Ian for a boy's middle name. That way both boys are named after their Dad.

I'm guessing you like the K and hard C sounds (Connor and Kadyn), so here are some ideas for a boy:

Clark Ian
Curtis Ian
Kenneth Ian
Kyler Ian

Other boy ideas:
Alexander Ian
Andrew Ian
Garrett Ian
Joseph Ian
Marcus Ian
Samuel Ian

For a girl, how about Jeanette for a first name? If you dont like that, perhaps use Jean as a mn. It's a great mn and your little girl would be named after you.

Jeanette Claire
Jeanette Olivia

Caroline Jean
Caroline Jeanette
Carly Jean
Carly Jeanette
Kathryn Jean
Kelly Jeanette

good luck!!!

Thanks for all the great names! It's so helpful to have these lists of ideas. Our last name is not actually Thomas, though, that's just Connor and my husband's middle names. Actually, my husband goes by Tom and not his first name at all. Our last name is MacPherson, if that gives anyone any other ideas.

Keep 'em comin'!!! Thank you SOOOOO much!
