Most everyone goes through this- I hear some parents say it's worse with girls, worse with boys, worse with the second child, etc. We had this problem both times. It was VERY bad with dd#2. She was 48 hours old and the nurses were naming her all sorts of awful combos!

Anyway, you both have some great ideas. The first thought I had is that DS#2 needs to have Michael in his name since ds#1 is named for dad. Technically, Michael would also be after you. Second thought I had is that Jonathan could be nn Jonah or call him Nate. I think Nate and Seth make fabulous sib names.

Here are my comments and suggestions on your lists-

My faves from your list- Brennan, Maddox, Brady, Asher, Adam, Liam, Drake, & Miles
I like many others, but I'm thinking of things that sound good with Seth also.

Hunter, Brendan, Cole, Aiden, Samuel and Nikolas are quite popular. Plus, just my personal preference to get rid of the S-'s because of Seth- (Samuel, Sawyer, Sebastian) I prefer Burke to Berkeley with Seth.

* Liam & William would be in honor of my father and grandfather, both of their mns were William.
+ Micah would be in honor of his dad and his own mn which is Micheal.

Combos- Asher William, Jonathan Micah (Nate), Miles William, Maddox William, Adam Michael

( middle names i would like are Samuel, Frank(franklin), Bennett, Anthony, Thomas, Tanner, William, Julian, Reilly, Chase, Patrick, Paul, Gabriel, Keenan, Jackson) --- ***Some of these are great but I think it would be better to stick with what you did with Seth's name. Pick a first name you both like and a family mn.

Girl names I like from your list with Seth-

Eden, Carys, Ayla, Lydia, Eve, Brenna, Jenna, Cambree, Zoe, Leah, Willow

I also like the name Ellery a lot (this spelling.)
I also like simply - Catherine Pamela called Cate or Carina. I'm not opposed to Caitla either. I think Carina, Caterina, Carmela, Camella, Camerin would be prettier. Or even CP initials... Maybe a bit of a stretch but for a mn- Camber (that gets in letters from all three of you).

I'm totally biased here because I ADORE the name Ayla. I think Seth and Ayla are lovely.

Ayla Catherine, Ayla Carina, Ayla Camerin, Ayla Beverley
Maeve also has great potential esp. with Seth and pulls names from both sides.
Or you could do Michelle, Michaela for a mn after you and dh.

Combos- Eden Maeve, Lydia Catherine, Lydia Camerin, Eden Camella, Carina Eve, Jenna Michelle, Carys Beverley, Carys Elaine, Carys Michaela, Cambree Michaela, Cambree Elaine, Jenna Catherine

CP initials- Cambree Patricia, Carys Penelope, Carina Phoebe

Now to your dh's lists-
He has one of my fave boy names on his list- Lars. This would be great with Seth.
My first choice pick is Lars Michael with Seth Andrew.

I also like River & Wil to go with Seth.
I prefer Laken for a girl.

I see Eden on both lists. Great name. Perfect with Seth. Eden Carina or Eden Camella???
Tell him - Hailey & Kelsey are too popular. I like Quinn for a boy or girl, but when said with Seth it seems like a little brother's name.

In summary, I like- Lars Michael and Catherine Pamela called Carina. I also LOVE Eden. Eden Michaela would solve many problems, wouldn't it? Very pretty, very fair, very good with Seth. I think your lists have real potential. The main thing I noticed is that you ARE NOT at opposite ends of the naming spectrum. You'll get it!

Keep us posted, Ginger
