My husband and I did not find out the sex of our baby and had NO TROUBLE coming up with a girl’s name. If she is a girl, she will be Olivia Marie Wright. (Marie is a family name on my side.) I am convinced this child, however, will be a boy, because we can’t agree on ANY boy names. The middle name will either be Thomas (my husband’s name) or Mark (my late father’s name). We tend to lean toward mostly classic names, but SEVERAL of those are taken by close friends and we feel…. icky… using a name of a close friend (say, instead of my HUSBAND’S name). Those include: Andrew, Sean (and Shawn, actually), Christopher, Matthew, Michael, James and Brian. We both come from Irish descent, but none of the names we’ve thought of really FEEL like us. Also, any of the -aden names are OUT (Brayden, Aiden, Jayden, Hayden…) Do you have ANY suggestions for Boy Thomas Wright or Boy Mark Wright? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yes! And here they are:<\/p>\n
Alec Thomas Wright
Daniel Thomas Wright
Ethan Thomas Wright
Gavin Thomas Wright
Geoffrey Thomas Wright
Ian Thomas Wright
Jonathan Mark Wright
Kyle Thomas Wright
Mark Thomas Wright
Owen Thomas Wright
William Mark Wright<\/p>\nAs I made the list, I was looking for names that went with Olivia Marie—in case you want to use that name for a future daughter. I thought many of them sounded good with either Thomas or Mark. And in fact, you’ll notice I sneaked both of them into one option: Mark Thomas Wright.<\/p>\n

Hi! I just wanted to thank you and all your readers for their help with suggestions for our baby boy… Turns out we didn’t need them since we had a baby GIRL on July 6. Her name is Olivia Marie.<\/p>\n
Thank you again!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
