Thank you to everyone who offered advice! I have a soft spot for August, but I think we're leaning towards Augustus. My husband is concerned that people might think August is a girl, and we like the...

Congratulations! Jordan Ferney of Oh Happy Day has boys named Moses and Roman and I've always thought that they were a great pair!

I have an almost one-year-old Philip, nicknamed Pip. Needless to say, I don't find it boring! We chose it because we think it's classic, handsome, and sadly underused. We've gotten very positive...

I'm not a fan. Lincoln is all boy, in my opinion. There are Presidents' names used for girls, like Madison and Kennedy, but I don't see anything feminine or appealing about Lincoln on a girl.

Thank you all for the feedback!

I think we are mainly stuck between August and Augustus, which seem to be your favorites too. I posted another thread searching for a middle name to make August...

I know I have asked this question multiple times and I have seen other people ask it as well, but please bear with me. We love and have decided on the nickname Gus - now we just need to decide on a...

Thank you all for the suggestions! There are some great options.

We like:
August Arthur
August Henry
August Harry (maybe August Harrison?)
August Owen
August Liam (or August William)...

We decided on the nickname Gus last night, and I think we're leaning towards August for the full name. We'd love middle name suggestions!

Our requirements:
1) "spunky", whatever that means....

@emmabomemma -"All three have a... freshly ironed and starched formality."

Haha I love this. I do happen to be very particular about ironing... As for Caroline's lack of a zippy nickname, we were...

Thanks for the feedback!

My husband and I actually made a decision this morning! Last night, we were joking about how crazy our house would be if we had all boys, and I ended up having a dream...

With our son Philip's first birthday just a week from tomorrow, we are thrilled to be expecting our third child in August. Nameberry helped us name Philip and we look forward to more fabulous...

Thanks again, ladies!

@m2mom - Glad to hear it! And Mary Clare is beautiful! Again, if you don't mind me asking, what is your other daughter's name? I worry that a lot of classic names will sound...

@m2mom - if you don't mind sharing, how has your daughter Mary's name been received?

Congratulations!

Honestly, I do find Mila Lee too sing-songy. I'd also stay away from Vivian - you'd have your own Vivien Leigh.

Good luck!

@rollo - I really like Margot as well, but it's a close friend's name!

Thank you again for the feedback, ladies!

So far, it seems like the only real cons for the names are that they seem a little too clunky to some. Clunkiness certainly doesn't bother us - many...

We definitely gravitate toward unusual middles. We haven't thought much about potential middle names - I'm not even expecting, after all - but, I have thought about Mary Flora. It kind of rhymes with...

Thanks again!

@ninkynonk - My husband likes the Augustin spelling as well, but the ending bothers me. To me, it seems like someone left the g off of a present participle, like tryin'.

Thank you all for the feedback.

I think we're leaning towards Martha or Mary. Both seem fresher than Margaret.

I love Margaret, Martha, and Mary. Obviously, I can really only use one - but how do I decide?

Margaret - It is classic and classy, and the nickname options are endless. Maggie, Meg, May, Maisie,...

Thank you all!

@sparrowfinch - yes, it was Cup of Jo!

Hello again, Nameberry!

We've been talking a lot about names recently and I'd love some feedback on our current top 3 choices for a boy.

1. Oliver Kit "Ollie"
I don't know what it is, but my...

How do you handle the topic of death with your kids? Do you discuss death and loss with them? Do you bring them to wakes? Funerals?

We received a call a few hours ago that my husband's uncle,...

Hate? Despise? I think that’s a little harsh. We’re talking about an occasional nickname/pet-name, after all. Not the name he’d answer to or how we’d introduce him. I have to say I’m a little...

I'm not really sure what you mean by "the African American spelling". The most famous bearer of the K spelling, as you mentioned, is Khloe Kardashian who is Armenian, not African American. The K...
