With Gabriella he knew a girl with the same name which he liked when he was a kid

That is what made name choosing hard for us... if someone we knew had that name and we didn't like them, then the name was ruined

and I refused to name her anything that someone else we knew had used (there are like 6 Johns in my hubby's family).. so that ruled out a fair few too.

Try teaching for 10 years and then deciding on a name! So many of Rob's suggestions were knocked back because I had taught ratbag kids with that name.

I think Kaylee is really pretty, not too common and I love that it has a family connection too!

If Cooper had been a girl he would have been Charlie or Piper. I'd already used up my other girls names on my girls (go figure!). I have a Casey Ashlyn, Madelyn Jade and Ellie Rose - they were my other favourites.

Good luck, I always found girls names easier than boys - just as well too.

i so hear you on that one Donna

, and it always seems to be certain names that equate to ratbags. Why is that?

LOL, yeah, I would've thought that it was pretty obvious. We also have a Jorja at daycare and a couple at swimming. I'd never heard of that spelling till I saw it on CSI and now I've seen it a fair bit.

My aunt and uncle had the same problem, they are both teachers. They ended up with Terrence (Terry), Amelia and Lucille (Lou).

There are a fair few names we can't use because of bad connotations. There are some names I don't like from when I was at school. They are nice names as well and I have only known one person with each name but it wouldn't be nice to be reminded of them. But there are others from people we like. I can only imagine how difficult it would be when you see so many kids as a teacher.

I am tempted with the name Kaylee Jade. I wonder if I should mention it to mum or surprise her when bubs is born (that is if bubs is a girl).

Laila was going to be Lily until we figured out it is getting wayyy popular these days.

My other fave name was Anja but Dh didn't like it

They are nice names as well. The name Laila gives me an idea. I could have Kaylee or Kayla.
