Hi all,
Thanks for suggesting loads of names. We are expecting our first baby any time in the month of February. I request all of you members to suggest me more names, both for a girl and a boy. Thanks in advance.

Naming your child after a city, is actually fairly popular. Some do it to celebrate a connection like a birth place and other people just like the name.
Here are some of the most common city baby names
Madison
Elizabeth

Well me and my fiance are expecting our first baby November 9th.... we came of up with the name Jayla Elaine Nathaniel. Not a very common name at all but we like it. Although if we are having a boy we are still undecided on the name... But we won't find out what we are having til June 25 but the earliest we can find out is May 22...... BUT IM HAVING MY FINGERS CROSSED FOR A GIRL

I've got a girl and boy and they are both great! Though, I must say, there is a special bond between a dad and his daughter. If you have a girl, you'll never look at feminism and women's lib in the same way! Good luck on the naming. We found out the sex on both kids so we didn't have to chose 2 names.

Yes I do agree with you that there is a special bond with between father and daughter. Its just the same with Mother and son... but I will be happy with which ever I am blessed with. my question is how do I know what Im having?... like are there certain signs I should look for?. I don't think finding a boy name will be difficult for us we already narrowed it down to a few names just in case it is a boy.
