Naming Numbness
You may have noticed the naming excitement of pregnancies past has been missing around here. I’ve been feeling really bummed about this whole naming issue. Thus far nothing seems right and The Hubster, in classic Hubster fashion, is no help.
I feel like I’ve looked at everything there is to look at and in the end I’m going to wind up settling for something I don’t like or is less then what I want just because the Hubster and I cant agree.
The only name we both find acceptable thus far is Lachlan (said lock lyn ). It’s Scottish and a bit different but I can’t say it’s THE ONE. The Hubster also likes Blake and while I don’t mind it, it seems to pale in comparison to the rest of the siblings names(not to mention it’s on the Social security top 100 of names.. something I try to avoid). Maybe it just needs to grow on me more? I know it’s possible considering a few short months before Levi was born I declared I would never NEVER use that name because one day I said it out loud with our last name and Mira swiftly followed it up with a rousing chorus of E-I-E-I-OOOOOOOOO.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
ps dont forget THIS! Do it! Daily!

I like Lachlan. We have a list of boys names unused LOL (all fairly popular now). I like these Hudson and Carston.

I liked one from the post you referenced - Kade. It does sound quite strong and it has a spin on it that makes a little different, but not too strange.
I’ll look forward to hearing what you all decide - so far I like your current kids’ names.

Such a tough decision. My alternate (unused) boy name was Isaiah, for what that’s worth.

I like Lachlan. Used to know a kid named Lachlan Mcklachlan. Yep, you guessed it, it rhymed.
I also really adore Connor and Liam as alternates.

My friend was going to use Dane - until she ended up with two girls.
