Lily and Sam are perfect! I have a Sam and a daughter would have been Lily.

One of my favorite names for a girl has always been Eleni, but I could never figure out how to spell it so it would work with our last name and so I could call her Lanie. I think Lanie for a little girl is just sweet.

My son Jake is actually Jacob, but we didn't name him that because it is the most popular name out there. My husbands grandfather was named Jacob, his dad's middle name is Jacob, as is his brothers and my husbands name is the English form of Jacob, James. So we passed it down to our son too. I'm just glad that the "family" name was not something really awful, even if it is popular!

Spitfire, just please, please, please avoid 99.9% of the names on The Utah Baby Namer site, okay?

I was more concerned--amused/appalled--to find "Sterile" for boys and "Clitoris" for girls.

106 posts in 3weeks! Are you surprised Spitfire?

I agree that naming a baby is so hard. It is also so much fun! (For the couple and the tvch posters/readers!)

Good luck! Can't wait to hear what you've chosen once the little one is born! I, too, kept changing my mind. Baby #3 didn't get named until we were on our way to the hospital.

Ya I am surprised. Everyone has an opinion to share and a story to tell. That is usually what keeps things going right. We all like a good story and I have read them all!!

I afraid that we will not know a name till the baby is actually born.

I finally did pick up a name book but there is sooo much to look at I get confused. This book also has a section of "most populars" for various things such as celebrities, farmers, geeks and get this....gays and lesbians. I don't know where they come up with this crap but it's pretty funny. I actually caught DH looking at it the other day so maybe he finally realizes that we have to choose soon. LOL!!

-- Diezel and Denim (Toni Braxton's sons)
-- Prince Michael, Prince Michael II, and Paris Michael (Wacko Jacko's kids)
-- Speck Wildhorse and Hud (John Mellencamp's sons)
-- Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee's son)
-- Tu Morrow (Rob Morrow's daughter)
-- Audio Science (Shannyn Sossamon and Dallas Clayton's son)
-- Moon Unit, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan, Dweezil, and Diva (Frank Zappa's kids)
-- Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and
Pixie (Paula Yates's girls)
-- Zowie (David Bowie's son)
-- Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q (Bono's boy)
-- Banjo (Rachel Griffith's son)
-- Hopper (Sean Penn's son)
-- Kyd (David Duchovny and Tea Leoni's son)

Heh - I was just trying to pick a name for Hortense's (mallard mommy) new mate. I was about to settle for Herman. I now know his true name is Homer. (didn't think Hortense would appreciate my calling him Jermajesty, but maybe I can use that for one of the ducklings)

jewels, all the gals i know who go by lanie, are really named elaine. but it works for eleni, too. you could just spell it leni, and people would learn real quick that it's pronounced with a long A.

holy crap, some famous people really give their kids strange names!
i remember when sissy spacek named her daughter schuyler and i knew it was pronounced 'skylar' the second i read it, but my sister said, "what's the kid's name? 'shooyuler'?!"

Boy - Sam (Wyatt or Massie)
Girl - Myla (Grace)

Sam is a nice name for a boy! I was only thinking "Sam" would be trendy if it were a girl (because of Charlie Sheen's baby, what was I thinking?).

Are the names in parentheses the middle name options, or runners-up? Wyatt would be a neat middle name with Sam since your last name starts with "W".

Myla reminds me of Mylar balloons...I wonder if kids would make fun of that? Do you like the name Myra? That sounds similar.

The parentheses is the potential middle names Kimmo.

I had said awhile ago that I liked Mylan for a boy and I think it was Rupertbear who said it was a reminder to Mylanta. What is a Mylar balloon?

It must be something that I like because I keep coming back to something similar and close to it. I also like Mia but it is becoming trendy around here right now. Another one that I really liked was Ella but a friend (not really close) just named her baby that. I just really like simple names.

Besides all that my DH actually liked the name the first time I said it to him and he really has had no comments and imputs so far.

The Mylar balloons are the shiny ones (maybe you'll get some when the baby is born, since they are the only kinds of balloons allowed in hospitals anymore!). It was just a thought....

Whatever you and DH like, and feel your child could grow up comfortably with, is what's important. It's clear you really like that name.

Ya I do like the name but am also open to listen to the reasons others may not. I don't want my kid growing up being embarrassed by their name. Most kids are mean at some point so I guess there will always be a chance of something being made fun of.

Cinnamongirl I like Emma as well but my step brother named his daughter Emma.

I'm due August 2nd. It's coming very fast. Really at this point it can be any day now although I'm not quite prepared for it to come now. Just some last minute things to get and I'm holding off on doing the laundry so it's all fresh when the time comes.

I vote Wyatt for the middle name and Myla Grace sounds beautiful and it hasn't been over used. The other name Massie, is that a family name?

Sam Wyatt's a pretty muscular name - any boy would be proud to have it (and would easily grow into it as a man). If you go with Massie (which I also like for the middle name) I'd go with Samuel Massie, so the M's don't run together in the two names. Good picks, Spitfire!!

FOR PETE'S SAKE! Courtney Cox and David Arquette named their new daughter CoCo Arquette. What is wrong with the world? Apple Paltrow (or whatever its last name is) and CoCo Arquette. I'm gonna have kids just so I can name the Buggs, Quince, and Uranus.

I had a friend in college named Courtney who's nickname was Coco. I don't see it so far fetched.

Sam was the only name my dh and I agreed on with ds. We figure he could be Dr Samuel or Sam the mechanic. We debated long and hard about it just being Sam, but Samuel went better with his middle name. We laugh cause he always signs his name Sam Reed X. I asked him one time..you do know your full name is Samuel, right?
