RainySunday Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 We are expecting our fourth in May, and we really like to have names for each gender chosen before we find out the gender at 18ish weeks. We really like to use place names (cities, towns, etc) for first names, and an at least slightly more traditional name for middle names. So far, we have an Austyn Nicole (stillborn), Cheyenne Lorrayne, and Dresden Isaac. Dh and I are both places too, but uncommon enough to not need to mention. For a girl we are planning to use Tempe. Not sure on middle name yet. We might use Mae for the middle, as it is my grandma's middle name, and she and I are very close. For a boy we are stumped... Input on cool place names for a boy, or middles for either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonTamar (A river here and in Tasmania) That's my input from my bit of the UK. Molly's oboe teacher is named Tamar. She's in her late fifties and is a lovely, talented woman. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS Mom in NC Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Not everyone will know how to pronounce Tempe when they see it written. I don't know if that matters to you or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
