Hey! Hope you love the surprise upload! Wanted to get this out before it's irrelevant!😄 Stay tuned for my normal Thursday upload! It's a full day of cooking! Breakfast, lunch, supper, snacks, dessert even! Can't wait to see you then! In the meantime, drop me a comment in this video and like it! I'd really appreciate it!🧡
@@Elizabeth-up4ym Oh wow, what ad? I am curious if we all see the same ads? I saw one on Native (deodorant- which I have), Sarani blankets (which I love and will buy one someday), Smile Train, which I used to donate to and need to do again. I watched it a few times now and it seems that each time I watch, I get different ads. I got two medical ads, one about plasma and one about vein treatment. LOL. Fascinating.
Inappropriate is different for everyone and I doubt she needs to concern herself with that right now if at all. I've never seen any adds on this channel that I thought were inappropriate.
Hey Megan! I hope all is well with you, baby any day soon!?! Can't wait to see the little guy!!! Praying for a safe delivery and a healthy momma and babe!!
I’m amazed, honestly, at how different my taste is from yours! It’s so fun to see the difference between people. Our daughter is Elizabeth, and the other names we love for boys and girls are Caroline, Aaron, and Gideon.
Megan you are an absolute rockstar! You are so hardworking. It’s amazing to me how often you post content, and it’s all high quality and interesting. Great job and give yourself some pie or something 😂
My mom’s name was Sadie Mae and my grandmother was named Stella. Hearing those names again made me smile; my mom was born in 1927...old name but still beautiful! You’ll know their name in your heart when you meet them face to face! ❤️ Gale Flowers 🌸
I love your huge list of names! There aren't a ton out there that are rapid fire like that! We named our 2 month old daughter Galilee because my name is Cana. (If you know the Bible, you get it.) My mom named me Cana because I was her first child aka miracle. And Jesus performed His first miracle in Cana and most of the rest in Galilee as a whole. Galilee is my first miracle. And especially since she was born with the umbilical cord around her neck 3 times and not breathing, she truly is a miracle!!!
Me too!! I have a list of probably 85 baby names I love, all have meaning… my husband likes only 2 of them 😆😆 we have 3 kids right now -Alethia (Ah-Lay-ThE-uh) which means truth, Ivan which means God is Gracious, and Adrian which means rich water. Our next names on each list are for a boy Manoah which means peace and for a girl Tauriel (TOR-EE-EL)which means daughter of the forest.
That definitely goes both ways gorgeous girls too. For example McKenna sounds cute for a child but juvenile and childish once she's an adult. Whichever the gender you've always got to seriously consider how it sounds both ways as a child and an adult. There are so many kids these days with cute trendy names that are going to sound absolutely ridiculous in about 20 years, lol. I also keep a list on my phone which I have been updating as of lately since I am currently expecting.
Little one is Magnolia Mae. We are from Louisiana and I wanted a floral name but not too common. So we used our state flower. Also I adore the nickname Maggie. Mae is the middle name of both my maternal and paternal grandmothers so it got passed down to her.
My married last name is Wood, and when I was a teenager I was OBSESSED with the name Forest for a boy. Obviously that is now out of the question. Cannot happen LOL. I just recently came upon your channel and it’s really changed me for the better. I cannot wait to keep watching with the new baby coming! 🥰
I love how unique these names are! My brother and sister-in-law recently had a baby girl and named her Bellamy! You’re the first person I’ve heard besides them to like/use that name. I have a son named Judah, and am pregnant with a girl whom we’re naming Ayla (pronounced eye-luh)! We like uncommon names too. Been thinking about you and am praying mama, baby, and delivery are healthy! ❤️
I went to school with a girl names Ayla, but she pronounced it A-luh and I always thought it was SO pretty!! It was on the top of my list of girl names, but I ended up with 2 boys.
@@elisastrain4412 My sister's name is Evelyn....she was born in 1947. My dad wanted her to have his intials. Her middle name is Pauline. My mom didn't know it at the time but her Great-Great Grandma's name was Evelyn. My sister dislikes her name, but it's become VERY popular in the last few years.
I hear what you’re saying about students’ names!! My first year teaching, I had Kaden, Caden, and Kaidhyn (a girl!), Jaden, Jalen, 2 Joshes, Jon,…and it goes on! But, now, I teach in Poland! If you don’t know anything about names in Poland, there are only a select set of names parents can choose. So, this means you could end up with multiple students with the same name: Ola, Ela, Ewa, Michalina, Maja, Kasia, Asia, Mateusz, Stas, Dawid…..it’s kind of funny that it was challenging in the US, but it’s completely normal here in Poland! As for President’s names for girls, I had a Kennedy and a Reagan, who were girls, in my class!! Naming my own children was kind of the same as you-I wanted my girls to have unique names. For my oldest, I had met actress Nia Peeples (from the TV show “Fame”) when I was 17 and she was SO nice to me that I decided I would name my first daughter after here. My daughter’s middle name is Jessica, which means “wealth”. My second daughter was going to be Amanda Ruth, but the night before we had her, my husband said, “By this time tomorrow, we’ll have a Krystyna Ellyse or a Dax.” And So, we went with that for her name…not knowing then that her name was the POLISH spelling of Christina! (My husband and I are now empty-nesters, living as missionaries in Poland, where I am also a school teacher!). OUr son’s name was always going to be a family name. My husband’s Scottish heritage has the name “Patrick” in it, so this was gong to be used. And his middle name, James, is a tribute to my MIL’s father and my FIL’s brother ho passed away as a baby. Finally, my son’s nickname that I call him is Sonny! I used to call him Sonny Boy, which morphed into “Boy”…but, as he got older, that didn’t work so much anymore. So, I started calling him “Sonny”. ❤️
I love all the names you mentioned. When my daughter was born 30th ago Kaitlyn was sort of popular. When she was in 1st or 2nd grade there were 4 in her class! She is now expecting her 3rd baby in May, found out Saturday it’s a boy. After two girls I am beyond excited. Looking forward to seeing what your little boy will be. 💙💙
You could carry this one step farther and use the name Stringer. A stringer in old English is a man who made long bows. I have family members with the surname Stringer.
I'm one who likes the more traditional names...but the ones I've read here are great. I love Millicent(Millie), Rachael, Elwyn (Wynn), Calvin (Cal or Kelly).....LOVE Finley and Harlow...Whatever you and your husband decide, for a name, your child will be blessed! Looking forward to the chosen name. Have a safe and blessed delivery (maybe you have already; you were past your due date on your last video) ❤🙏
I met a wonderful little girl once at my job in a shop, she was one of the sweetest, most polite little girl I’d ever met. Her name was Calliope. I’d never heard the name before, but it seemed so sweet and suited her, like she was from a fairytale. ☺️
A caliope is some kind of organ, like on a cart, maybe? Seems likeca circus organ. Will look it up later but there was a soap opera character with that name decades ago. I wonder if that's where the little girl's momma heard it. What fun!
This got my Monday morning off to a good start! My daughter’s name is Sienna, we chose it after visiting the Italian city Siena years ago and we have loved it ever since!
This was probably one of the most helpful name videos I’ve ever watched and I’ve seen lots! I love unique names as well but when you google unique names they are often not, or they are like completely off the wall. This video was a perfect middle ground!
Our kids have very uncommon names as well, but our criteria was that it also had to be a Biblical name with a significant meaning. So our daughter is named Tirzah (teer-zah) which means she is my delight. And our son is Thaddeus (thadd-ee-us) which means he praises from the heart . I can't wait to hear what you name this new little bundle of joy!
I love the name Palmer. Id use it but i live in Alaska and its a pretty commonly known city here, but if I ever moved I'd use it! I always loved the name Bentley, even years before getting pregnant. When I moved here there is a very sad and tiny mall named the Bentley mall and a few street names with Bentley in them. We decided to go ahead and name my first son Bentley because we were moving to Texas as soon as he was born. Little did I know we would move back to Alaska. Its fun for him now though to see his name on street signs and buildings, especially now that he's starting to read.
Jacob is almost always on the most popular baby names of whatever year list, and Jacob was not a biblical man of great character, either. Only by the grace of God did he become what he became, which I guess is true for all of us who turn to Him no matter what our name. Maybe that's why people like the name Jacob?
I'm pregnant with number 4 and I love some of these names. We don't know the gender, but I love Sienna. Especially because my girls have red hair and are named Scarlett & Rozalyn so we have a theme going lol.
I was named for my grandmother Ethel who was named for her grandmother. That would have been okay BUT when I was in high school Ray Stevens came out with the song The Streak. Here are some if the lyrics. "Ethel, Is that you get your clothes on. Oh yes they call her the streak." When I would walk into the school gym for an event someone would yell out that first line and that would be the start of what felt like everyone singing the chorus." Did I mention there were 1000 people in my high school? So I am glad you are careful. I love my name and incredibly proud and blessed to be named after my grandma who was like a mother to me. However since then I have gone by Lynne. When I tell this story the vast majority of people STILL know this song.🤣🤣
Lovely names! I named my daughter an uncommon name. Her name is Rendi. As a child, she always got upset because in giftshops with personalized items such as keychains, bookmarks, etc., she never found her name. But we have had lots of compliments on her name. I have a friend that has twin girls name Sage and Jade. Can't wait to see which name you choose!
I love Sage and Jade for twins: both nature names and also shades of green, and the same length, vowels in the same place. I love Stella, Charlotte, Scarlett, Phoebe, Iona and Grace for girls. For boys: Noah, Thomas, Jack, Sebastian…
It would be so cute it the baby's name started with G and then your kids go in alphabetical order: E, F, G... Gretchen, GIA, Greta...Gregory, Gordon, Garlan..
I love that you go unique. I can't help but do the same. One thing you might consider is giving the next son(s) some sort of homage to their dad as well. Ya know? So they have a sort of "even" fondness of being named after their father. :)
SO fun! I always joke I could name 100 babies because I love baby names so much! My daughter (age 10) also has the middle name Sage. It's in honor of a dear friend. It was super unique at the time and we never thought it would become so popular! We are holding you close in prayer and cannot wait to learn what you name Baby!
I couldn’t help but laugh when you said Dakota and Fox don’t go together because my brother’s name is Dakota Fox 😂 I always thought they went really well together
Yes lol it specifically says "...and Adam with her" Lol who stood there with no backbone to even try and stop her! He sinned same time she did by allowing her to just go ahead and eat it! Lol my pastor brought that out. I'd never even noticed that phrase in scripture!
Jathan..... It's a combo name of Jacob and Nathan. It's pronounced like Nathan but with a J. Like Jay thin. We named our son this 15 years ago and love that there is no one like this close to him. We call him Jay / JJ. Loved all your name. Congratulations xoxo
So many cool names. I am in love with Welsh names at the moment, my favourites at the moment are Aneirin or Iolo for a boy and Eirlys and Delyth for a girl.
This was so much fun to watch! You are incredibly creative- several of these names I had not heard of and that is hard to do these days! I work on a dairy farm where every cow has a name. Many of these are part of our herd! (I will have to send you something soon). Prayers for your family as you welcome you new little boy.
An idea would be to take Dakota and shorten it to Koa. Koa Fox. Sweet, short, and simple…but unique. 😊 Other names I love are Oakley/Oakes/Oaklan or boy or Oaklyn for girl, Skylar, Royal, Flynn, Carson, Callie-Hope, Cove, Meadow, Cassidy, Addy, Piper, Eden, Ivy, Arabella, Sierra, Sutton, River, Emory, McKenna or Makena, Noa, Summer, Sailor, Elliott, Avani, Arkham, Breck, Sawyer, Rafe or Reef, Kade, Tobias, Cedric, Atlas, Axel, Arrow, Cru or Cruz, Shepherd, Canyon, Creed, Anton, Shiloh, and Adrian.
I've been noticing two big fads among some Mennonites in their baby names. Last names for first names for either boys or girls and boys names ending with -ER. So instead of a classroom with lots of Jessica's and Amy's, there will soon be a classroom full of gender neutral last names and names ending in -er's!
You are so good at blending and mixing names together! Can you think of anything that goes with Tal? I love Talon but I already have 3 other boys that end in an or on. Any ideas? Help!😂
My daughter and SIL love the movie the blind side. They named their baby girl after the daughter in the movie Collins, they changed up the spelling to Kollyns
You mention Maraceli is Spanish. I don’t know anyone with that name but Araceli does exist (for girls that is). I personally don’t like surnames as first names but I know it’s all very personal. For girls, I love flower names. Boys are harder to name but I like traditional ones.
Wow, Megan; a lot of the names you mentioned sounded masculine to me, but you indicated you liked them for a girl and kind of vice-versa. I guess the older names are more gender distinctive; where names now a day can be used either way. How interesting, but I like all the names you have been listing. I also like your thinking, methods, and reasoning for name you like or don’t like, too. You are very analytical and thoughtful.
I loved most of the names! We too like uncommon unisex names. Boys are so hard though, especially living in a non-english speaking country where everything is pronounced differently 🙉
When naming my son, I was trying to find a first name that wouldn’t clash with Dover. In the long run it didn’t matter. They still called him Ben in elementary school. Luckily he has great since of humor and laughed right along with them. His friends still call him Ben to this day.
We were going name our son Matthew. When I was 5 months pregnant I had a dream about the name. Our last name is Dorer (door-er) and I just KNEW the kids in school would call him Door Matt....and refused to name him that. So, we named him Travis Vaughn.
I have 3 boys who are called Michael Jay, Joshua Lee and Daniel Allan. I love your children’s names and all the names for baby number 3. It was so difficult choosing our boys names but they suit them and they will grow with them when they get to adulthood which was very important to me. X
Naming a child would be the hardest thing ...I like most the names you mentioned ..I know Little Fox will be here before we know it, yet I am beside myself excited to meet him here on your channel and to see him with Evonnie and Fletcher ..
My baby is due in 30 days, and he shall be named Barnabé / she shall be named Olympe :). We are French, living in France. French names are not quite in the same vibe than American ones I suppose, I never heard of most of the names you suggested!
Love all those names we have Clara Rose (4), Reid Sentell (Sentell is my maiden name, he is 3), then our baby girl is Maia Grace (She will be 6 months next week.) Excited for y'all and cannot wait to see what you name baby boy.
Both of my daughters are teachers and went through the same thought process for names. Looking forward to seeing this precious little one and hearing his name ❤️. Take care and God bless.
My sister has a friend named Wrenna. Dakota Fox is awesome! There’s a retired pro basketball player named Rick Fox. My maiden name is Blair, so I’m partial to that. I met a guy named Blair a while back. Gage is a great boy’s name. Gage Fox would be cool. Rhodes Fox is cool too.
Our sons are named Chad Joseph and Evan Michael. Our grandsons are Ethan, Tanner, Rylan, Andrew, and Keegan. My dad was Verne and his dad was Vaughn!! My God bless you family as you welcome your new precious gift from God, a new son. 💙👶🙏
Our sons are Chad Joseph and Evan Michael. Our girls are Katie Dawn and Holly Suzanne. Grandsons are Ethan, Tanner, Rylan, Andrew, and Keegan. My dad was Verne and his dad was Vaughn!! God bless your new son.💙🙏👶
I'm with the more unique names♡ our names we want to have special meanings. Both our girl's meanings are meaningful for the place we were in our life, things we were going through. My oldest is Britta Elease (Strength&Happiness and God's Promises) and my 2nd is Aniya Rayne (Merciful-Counselor) we have scriptures for their names as well that fit with where our life was at their birth and also go with their name. We also do not want any dumb sounding nice names so thats always something we go over with a name be4 we choose it. You have some cute names meghan!! We love the boy name Winston Forest ;) but we are using Judson Wayde. We like historical names that are meaningful name to us and earthy sounding names. My father n law passed away right after we married and he was a J.W. and so is my husband, so our 1st boy will be a J.W. as well... judson wayde together means Praise and At The River Crossing. For our next baby girl we are using Ziva Hope and her names together will mean Bright-Hope. We have scriptures for that as well. We also love Mallory Sage together! My husband and I love the same names and have never struggled with a name at all♡ We always reveal baby's gender and name together soon as we find out gender. My thinking is so our name doesn't get stollen lol because I am usually pregnant same time as other friends (almost always! But its so fun!) So I figure if I announce our name then if it gets taken then I will still use it anyway since everyone knew we had already chose it lol it just takes a stress off that I think would really bother me too much! Non of my siblings tell til birth tho and most of my friends don't either! That way is fun as well!
My Mennonite ancestors were so happy to make it to America, they named their son Abraham Lincoln ( as first & middle name) and, yes, his nickname was Abe.
When I was younger, I kept a list of baby names, which is hilarious, because I didn't want kids after I got older and hadn't had the opportunity to have any, but I always had a running list just in case. I just remembered that. Oh my.

I loved the names honoring the men of Afghanistan. Such hero’s. 💕
we have friends who named their kids, Reagan, Lincoln, Remington (all boys) and Liberty for their daughter
Ha! That's AWESOME!!!
What an American family 😂
Megan you are an absolute rockstar! You are so hardworking. It’s amazing to me how often you post content, and it’s all high quality and interesting. Great job and give yourself some pie or something 😂
Awww! I try!🧡
Ummm…. What were those girl names in the art class that you said? 🙃
My mom’s name was Sadie Mae and my grandmother was named Stella. Hearing those names again made me smile; my mom was born in 1927...old name but still beautiful! You’ll know their name in your heart when you meet them face to face! ❤️ Gale Flowers 🌸
We had Rowan picked out for a son and then we found out we were having a girl! We kept the name Rowan for her and she gets lots of compliments.
Rowan is such a beautiful name! My youngest brothers name is Rowan. I love it so much !!

Girls aren't easy either cos you never know what surname they will end up with - they may change it, they may not.

Those are great!

We also have each of our kids’ names start with a different letter. It helps them feel unique and makes initialing things so easy!
You know that a Fletcher is a person who makes arrows for an Archer who shoots arrows with a bow. 😁
I know! They'd be perfect brothers!
You could carry this one step farther and use the name Stringer. A stringer in old English is a man who made long bows. I have family members with the surname Stringer.
Or even Hunter!

That name is gorgeous!
Never heard at least half of these names, but it’s fun that people are starting to step out of the box again and not just use the same 15 names lol
I love the name Evonnie. I just looked it up and some websites give it the meaning "archer"
This was probably one of the most helpful name videos I’ve ever watched and I’ve seen lots! I love unique names as well but when you google unique names they are often not, or they are like completely off the wall. This video was a perfect middle ground!
My maiden name is Rhodes and I used it for my son's middle- Silas Rhodes. It made me smile that you love it!
We have 3 daughters...Allie Reed, Harper Grace, & Remi Kate♥️ loved the video!
I have a Magdalena! I like uncommon but traditional names, she only gets compliments for it. 😁 Can't wait to find out when the baby is born!
My guess is that this little baby is here already 😁🤷♀️ idk just a guess lol I hope your family is doing well!
Kinda feel the same.
Same ☝🏼
I think you’re right cuz she said she pre recorded some things in advance!
Yes, cause she's already put a video out showing the new family pictures that replaced the ones in this video. I'm thinking the new baby is here. 😉
Same
I hope these prerecorded videos mean baby has arrived 💙 sending prayers and best wishes as you adjust to a family of 5!
He has!

Its fun for him now though to see his name on street signs and buildings, especially now that he's starting to read.
Yes that would be fun!
Jacob is almost always on the most popular baby names of whatever year list, and Jacob was not a biblical man of great character, either. Only by the grace of God did he become what he became, which I guess is true for all of us who turn to Him no matter what our name. Maybe that's why people like the name Jacob?
My girl’s name is Astrid
I over thought that name way too much to not do it, but we are so happy we did 12 years ago!!
I love your names!! My husband and I chose super common names for our four children because we both have fairly uncommon names! Lol! 💙💙💙
I'm pregnant with number 4 and I love some of these names. We don't know the gender, but I love Sienna. Especially because my girls have red hair and are named Scarlett & Rozalyn so we have a theme going lol.
Our little girl is Everly and we get lots of compliments. There is something about V names ☺️
I was named for my grandmother Ethel who was named for her grandmother. That would have been okay BUT when I was in high school Ray Stevens came out with the song The Streak. Here are some if the lyrics. "Ethel, Is that you get your clothes on. Oh yes they call her the streak." When I would walk into the school gym for an event someone would yell out that first line and that would be the start of what felt like everyone singing the chorus." Did I mention there were 1000 people in my high school? So I am glad you are careful. I love my name and incredibly proud and blessed to be named after my grandma who was like a mother to me. However since then I have gone by Lynne. When I tell this story the vast majority of people STILL know this song.🤣🤣
Lovely names! I named my daughter an uncommon name. Her name is Rendi. As a child, she always got upset because in giftshops with personalized items such as keychains, bookmarks, etc., she never found her name. But we have had lots of compliments on her name. I have a friend that has twin girls name Sage and Jade. Can't wait to see which name you choose!
I love Sage and Jade for twins: both nature names and also shades of green, and the same length, vowels in the same place. I love Stella, Charlotte, Scarlett, Phoebe, Iona and Grace for girls. For boys: Noah, Thomas, Jack, Sebastian…
I think Dakota Fox sounds so cool! Winslow is so sweet i'm putting that on my list.
I've been thinking about you- can't wait to hear when the new baby is here😊❤️
He’s here! Check out her Instagram!
I love different names. Mine isn’t too common, especially the spelling. Our girls are Jubilee and Adelyn.
Some of these names are actually pretty common now. I know kids with quite a few of them. Others definitely less common
It would be so cute it the baby's name started with G and then your kids go in alphabetical order: E, F, G... Gretchen, GIA, Greta...Gregory, Gordon, Garlan..
I though about that too! But what if I ever wanted a 4th. Would I have to keep going? Probably!
Hi, Megan!!! Fun idea for a video!!! (I’m the girl with lots of brothers who’s messaged you 😅)
I love that you go unique. I can't help but do the same. One thing you might consider is giving the next son(s) some sort of homage to their dad as well. Ya know? So they have a sort of "even" fondness of being named after their father. :)
SO fun! I always joke I could name 100 babies because I love baby names so much! My daughter (age 10) also has the middle name Sage. It's in honor of a dear friend. It was super unique at the time and we never thought it would become so popular! We are holding you close in prayer and cannot wait to learn what you name Baby!
My oldest daughter (about to turn 20 years old) is Cianna ❤ I haven’t heard it on anyone else’s lists! It means gracious gift from God ❤
I couldn’t help but laugh when you said Dakota and Fox don’t go together because my brother’s name is Dakota Fox 😂 I always thought they went really well together
‘- Excuse me but how many Davids are out there?’ I will use this line from now on. Eve is a great name.
A good name is better than silver and gold. Give your children names that MEAN something…because they will live up to it.
Also how many Adams are out there lol, “she gave some to her husband, who was with her” lolololol but I get what he’s saying. Haha
Yes lol it specifically says "...and Adam with her" Lol who stood there with no backbone to even try and stop her! He sinned same time she did by allowing her to just go ahead and eat it! Lol my pastor brought that out. I'd never even noticed that phrase in scripture!
Jathan..... It's a combo name of Jacob and Nathan. It's pronounced like Nathan but with a J. Like Jay thin. We named our son this 15 years ago and love that there is no one like this close to him. We call him Jay / JJ. Loved all your name. Congratulations xoxo
Dakota Fox is such a super hero name. I love it!
So many cool names. I am in love with Welsh names at the moment, my favourites at the moment are Aneirin or Iolo for a boy and Eirlys and Delyth for a girl.
When I worked at Starbucks, there was a guy named Baker. I think it’s kind of an interesting name!
My son is fletcher and I’ve never met someone with that name how cool!
I have 10 children and their names are rarely used here in Australia. Gary, Trent, Jade, Alyce, Rhys, Rhett, Calvin, Chad, Colston, Reuben.
This was so much fun to watch! You are incredibly creative- several of these names I had not heard of and that is hard to do these days!
I work on a dairy farm where every cow has a name. Many of these are part of our herd! (I will have to send you something soon). Prayers for your family as you welcome you new little boy.
An idea would be to take Dakota and shorten it to Koa. Koa Fox. Sweet, short, and simple…but unique. 😊 Other names I love are Oakley/Oakes/Oaklan or boy or Oaklyn for girl, Skylar, Royal, Flynn, Carson, Callie-Hope, Cove, Meadow, Cassidy, Addy, Piper, Eden, Ivy, Arabella, Sierra, Sutton, River, Emory, McKenna or Makena, Noa, Summer, Sailor, Elliott, Avani, Arkham, Breck, Sawyer, Rafe or Reef, Kade, Tobias, Cedric, Atlas, Axel, Arrow, Cru or Cruz, Shepherd, Canyon, Creed, Anton, Shiloh, and Adrian.
For a girls name, I like Josie, and for a boy I choose Sullivan 😊💕🇨🇦
I've been noticing two big fads among some Mennonites in their baby names. Last names for first names for either boys or girls and boys names ending with -ER. So instead of a classroom with lots of Jessica's and Amy's, there will soon be a classroom full of gender neutral last names and names ending in -er's!
Thank you for the surprise upload! 😍
On another note, hope you've had your little one by now and he's a healthy little guy!💗
My great great grandmother was named Stella!!! ❤️ I love that name.
You are so good at blending and mixing names together! Can you think of anything that goes with Tal? I love Talon but I already have 3 other boys that end in an or on. Any ideas? Help!😂
My daughter and SIL love the movie the blind side. They named their baby girl after the daughter in the movie Collins, they changed up the spelling to Kollyns
You mention Maraceli is Spanish. I don’t know anyone with that name but Araceli does exist (for girls that is).
I personally don’t like surnames as first names but I know it’s all very personal. For girls, I love flower names. Boys are harder to name but I like traditional ones.
Wow, Megan; a lot of the names you mentioned sounded masculine to me, but you indicated you liked them for a girl and kind of vice-versa. I guess the older names are more gender distinctive; where names now a day can be used either way. How interesting, but I like all the names you have been listing. I also like your thinking, methods, and reasoning for name you like or don’t like, too. You are very analytical and thoughtful.
I love ‘virtue’ names, but they are mostly for girls I think.
I loved most of the names! We too like uncommon unisex names. Boys are so hard though, especially living in a non-english speaking country where everything is pronounced differently 🙉
When naming my son, I was trying to find a first name that wouldn’t clash with Dover. In the long run it didn’t matter. They still called him Ben in elementary school. Luckily he has great since of humor and laughed right along with them. His friends still call him Ben to this day.
We were going name our son Matthew. When I was 5 months pregnant I had a dream about the name. Our last name is Dorer (door-er) and I just KNEW the kids in school would call him Door Matt....and refused to name him that. So, we named him Travis Vaughn.
Preston fox would be a great name ❤️
I have 3 boys who are called Michael Jay, Joshua Lee and Daniel Allan. I love your children’s names and all the names for baby number 3. It was so difficult choosing our boys names but they suit them and they will grow with them when they get to adulthood which was very important to me. X
Naming a child would be the hardest thing ...I like most the names you mentioned ..I know Little Fox will be here before we know it, yet I am beside myself excited to meet him here on your channel and to see him with Evonnie and Fletcher ..
My baby is due in 30 days, and he shall be named Barnabé / she shall be named Olympe :).
We are French, living in France. French names are not quite in the same vibe than American ones I suppose, I never heard of most of the names you suggested!
So many great names! I love your list! Can’t wait to see what you pick!💙
This was such a good list! I love your style 🙌
Loving your Monday uploads.
Love all those names we have Clara Rose (4), Reid Sentell (Sentell is my maiden name, he is 3), then our baby girl is Maia Grace (She will be 6 months next week.) Excited for y'all and cannot wait to see what you name baby boy.
This is the most fun name list I’ve ever heard! I feel inspired lol
First baby name list thats actually my style!! Love these names!
Instead of Henderson, do Emerson.
Our children's names all start with L's
And I love the name Lenora.
Sullivan is my maiden name. I’ve always wanted to use it!
Both of my daughters are teachers and went through the same thought process for names. Looking forward to seeing this precious little one and hearing his name ❤️. Take care and God bless.
Oh my gosh I love Wrenley! Not sure if I’m spelling that right but it’s lovely 💜
I don’t think you’re over thinking the names. lol I think way too many people don’t think through baby names enough!
Love all your ideas on baby names!!
My sister has a friend named Wrenna. Dakota Fox is awesome! There’s a retired pro basketball player named Rick Fox. My maiden name is Blair, so I’m partial to that. I met a guy named Blair a while back. Gage is a great boy’s name. Gage Fox would be cool. Rhodes Fox is cool too.
I think this is the name haha. Their names would be in alphabetical order 😅
Our sons are named Chad Joseph and Evan Michael. Our grandsons are Ethan, Tanner, Rylan, Andrew, and Keegan. My dad was Verne and his dad was Vaughn!! My God bless you family as you welcome your new precious gift from God, a new son.
💙👶🙏
I love Bodie and Brixton for boy names . Montana and Alexandria for girl names.
I love your president name idea, what a creative way to give them unique names.
Our sons are Chad Joseph and Evan Michael. Our girls are Katie Dawn and Holly Suzanne. Grandsons are Ethan, Tanner, Rylan, Andrew, and Keegan. My dad was Verne and his dad was Vaughn!! God bless your new son.💙🙏👶
I'm with the more unique names♡ our names we want to have special meanings. Both our girl's meanings are meaningful for the place we were in our life, things we were going through. My oldest is Britta Elease (Strength&Happiness and God's Promises) and my 2nd is Aniya Rayne (Merciful-Counselor) we have scriptures for their names as well that fit with where our life was at their birth and also go with their name. We also do not want any dumb sounding nice names so thats always something we go over with a name be4 we choose it. You have some cute names meghan!! We love the boy name Winston Forest ;) but we are using Judson Wayde. We like historical names that are meaningful name to us and earthy sounding names. My father n law passed away right after we married and he was a J.W. and so is my husband, so our 1st boy will be a J.W. as well... judson wayde together means Praise and At The River Crossing.
For our next baby girl we are using Ziva Hope and her names together will mean Bright-Hope. We have scriptures for that as well. We also love Mallory Sage together! My husband and I love the same names and have never struggled with a name at all♡ We always reveal baby's gender and name together soon as we find out gender. My thinking is so our name doesn't get stollen lol because I am usually pregnant same time as other friends (almost always! But its so fun!) So I figure if I announce our name then if it gets taken then I will still use it anyway since everyone knew we had already chose it lol it just takes a stress off that I think would really bother me too much! Non of my siblings tell til birth tho and most of my friends don't either! That way is fun as well!
My Mennonite ancestors were so happy to make it to America, they named their son Abraham Lincoln ( as first & middle name) and, yes, his nickname was Abe.
When I was younger, I kept a list of baby names, which is hilarious, because I didn't want kids after I got older and hadn't had the opportunity to have any, but I always had a running list just in case. I just remembered that. Oh my.
I feel you on the whole flowing with the last name thing…try having your last name be Sauce lol
Oh dear! I guess Fox is workable!
If you like Sunderland you can have Sonny. But also since you're having a boy he can always be a Sonny as in sonny boy
