Lack of inspiration

So, I get to pick new baby names!  Yay, right?  Not exactly.  You see, I'm actually having trouble picking names to put on a list this time.  I had a short list of girls and boys names that were names that I loved!  However, then I have to take into account what Steve likes, and I always ask my mom because I don't want her to not like the name.  Everyone else can eat a brick if they don't like the name I choose!  BUT, between Steve and my mom, two very clashing personalities, my lists get cut down pretty quick.

In fact, there's only one boys name that everyone can agree on (maybe two, but I'm the one who's skeptical about the second), and my girl's list is damn near nonexistent.  Each of the names I had picked, about 6 or 7 names, got nixed by someone.  So I'm in a pickle.  I need names!  Just because I blog them doesn't mean that I would use them.  Ideally, I would like a list of about 4 or 5 names each to choose from that all three parties likes.  Especially with the girl's names.  I am almost sure about the boy's name on our list, but I wouldn't mind another choice or two. 

And so, my search continues.  I'll be scouring lists and creating new ones.  I probably won't announce my lists, but I'll likely give out our choice for a girl and for a boy a day or two before we find out the sex.  Until then, I'll be hitting the books.

  1. Are you wanting names that sound good with Arabella and sound similar or something totally different? Any nicknames you really love that would be fun to find a full name for?

  2. I want a name that will fit well with Bella's. For girl's, I like Lily names. That's hard to find a Lily name that isn't wildly popular. I got shot down with Lila. I love Alice but my mom thinks its too plain and boring. She keeps suggesting Alicia......And I love the name Lyra, but Steve will always nix that one.

    For guys, I'm across the board on nicknames. I like more vintage names but names that aren't too out there. I like Liam, Noah, Henry, and Jacob, but these are all names that I wouldn't actually use. Just to give you an idea of my style for boy's names.

  3. Lillian too formal? Lillian Alice with Lily for short?
