Dh and I have been ttc for about a year... again. It took us a year to get Jayse and we are more than blessed to have him. I have PCOS so it's extremely difficult for me, even with the fertility meds. We're really hoping January will be a successful month. I would LOVE an October baby. Anyway, here are some thoughts on names. Any feedback/opinions welcome!
(Some names that are out of the question: Ashlyn, Demi, Riley, Jonathan, William, Richard)
Girl
Emily / Emmaly / Emmalee (Dh's favourite but WAY too popular for me)
Presley (My absolute fave! He likes it too, but it's hard to convince him sometimes that an untraditional name is ok)
Heidi
Ella ( again, pretty popular)
Boy
Preston ( We both like this one, it's topping the charts right now for us)
Erick (dh is Rick, so we stuck an E in front)
Josiah (dh won't go for it but I love it)
Happy Holidays!

Girl
Emily / Emmaly / Emmalee (Dh's favourite but WAY too popular for me)Completely agree with you on this one. WAY too popular.
Presley (My absolute fave! He likes it too, but it's hard to convince him sometimes that an untraditional name is ok)
I really do like this name for a girl even though some insist that it is a boys name. Honestly how is it any different than what we did to Madison and Ashley?
Heidi
The only thing holding me back from this name is The Hills. LOL.
Ella ( again, pretty popular)
This is a really popular name. What about a name that has Ella in it and you could use it as a nn if you really wanted to.
Abriella, Annabella, Aristella, Auriella, Briella, Danyella, Estella (my favorite "ella" name), Gabriella, Noella,
Boy
Preston ( We both like this one, it's topping the charts right now for us)
Love this name! I have a cousin named this and now he is 19 and it still suits him. Very nice name.
Erick (dh is Rick, so we stuck an E in front)
Don't really care for this.
Josiah (dh won't go for it but I love it)
I love this name too. I really like the nickname Si. It sounds very manly to me. Nice for a little boy or a grown man.
You have a lot of wonderful choices here. I hope you and DH are able to come to an agreement. Good luck!
