Hi Swistle!<\/p>\n

I have always loved thinking of baby names and have always been the person analyzing other people’s choices. Usually, I say, that’s so plain-Jane, so normal\/overused\/(s)he’ll be the 5th kid in class with that name. Now that I’m expecting for the first time and I actually have to come with up with real names, I’m finding it very difficult. To make it difficult further, my husband and I are expecting twins sometime in February 2016 and we aren’t finding out the gender, meaning we need 4 solid name choices that we love – two boys, two girls.<\/p>\n

Our last name is long and mispronounced\/misspelled 99.9% of the time – it’s French, though we have mostly Irish heritage. It’s pronounced Dee-Rose-Shures. My first name is Eileen and my husband is Kyle.<\/p>\n

So far, for one boy, we love the name Sutton. We’ll probably use James as a middle name to honor my grandfather. Sutton James, I really like this name. I know people are using it for girls now, but I prefer it on a boy. I just hope there aren’t other Sutton’s in his class, but I think it’s getting more and more popular.<\/p>\n

Other boy names on my list are:
\nKeegan (husband likes)
\nBoden (husband likes)
\nBrecken (husband doesn’t like)<\/p>\n

Girl’s names are hard for me. If I had to pick two boys names today, I could. I don’t feel like I could for girls though.<\/p>\n

If I had to pick one right now, I’d pick Delaney. My husband likes this name, too. We’d probably name her Delaney Jane, Jane is my mother’s middle name. Delaney Jane.<\/p>\n

Other girl names on my list are:
\nHenley (my maiden name starts with Henn – I like that Henley shares the beginning of that, but I’ve been getting negative reactions from some, and positive reactions from others. My husband likes it but I’m not sold 100% on it)
\nArden
\nEmerson (but too popular?)
\nMadigan (again, husband and I both like it but I’ve seen lots of bad reviews on it – “it sounds like MAD AGAIN” “it sounds ugly” “it means little dog”)<\/p>\n

I feel all over the place with my girl names, but what it comes down to is I prefer stronger names for my girl(s), not girly-girl names.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the issue of matching a boy name with a girl name if we have a boy and a girl. I feel overwhelmed! Help!<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Name update!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Swistle!<\/p>\n

I wrote you a while back for advice on naming our gender-Unknown twins and got some great feedback from your readers. I ended up giving birth at 37 weeks to two healthy fraternal twin boys!<\/p>\n

Naming them was quite easy as we had decided we really had our two top boy names that we absolutely loved. If they had been girls I don’t think we would have had such an easy time naming them.<\/p>\n

We named our baby A, Sutt0n James and our baby B, Keeg@n Patrick (Patrick is my husband’s middle name and they share the same initials!)<\/p>\n

We are so happy with their names and we think they fit these boys perfectly. I had a really rough pregnancy and swore off any other pregnancies throughout but the second our boys were born I knew I wanted to have more! I’ve already been thinking about names to go with these boys in the future, hopefully someday in the future I’ll be writing back to you to name their sibling!!<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
