Name this kid's sibling!

Nothing is set in stone for names for this baby. We both agree on very few names, but I'm sorta throwing them to the wind because Henry wasn't even on our list of names at the hospital when he was born. I gave birth and then heard Preston say to his parents over the phone, "It's a boy, but I can't tell you his name yet because Jessie doesn't know it". Good thing when he told me he felt we should name him Henry I immediately warmed up to it, and now it just fits him perfectly.

I'm just not planning on that magical moment of naming again, so I feel like I better go prepared. Plus, my husband just may not be there with a naming epiphany, and then it's all up to me. Heck, my midwife won't even be there now since she broke her leg this morning. I just might end up giving birth at home in my bed with Henry as my coach.

So, in case of an emergency, let me hear it! What would you name a little sister for Preston "Henry"? What would you name a brother? Let's just hope they get his good looks!

Of course I'm partial to Stella since that was going to be our girl's name before we saw that he wasn't a she after all. And I love James for a boy. Both go very well with Henry.

I think Stella and James are darling... but for something different than those, how about Avery or Shelby for a girl or Miles or Hunter?

I hope Preston is home for your delivery! Hang in there!

Oh, you HAVE to go with Stella Jane for a girl -- it's been "your" name forever!!! As for a boy, I LOVE James...but maybe Leo?

You have to use Stella for a girl because my husband put the kabosh on it! And I really like Jasper for a boy.

Jill said...

ohhh... I thought of another one. How about Georgia for a girl? Georgia Kate maybe?

I don't know what to say. I think we have the same taste in names, since you were going to use Ezra. Hmmmm... I really like the name Tobias (could call him Toby), also Ruby for a girl.

stella is fabulous! (obviously one of your faves). sincerely, its in my top 5. i also think lola is excellent and it goes great with henry in my opinion. if you pick leo, just know that is the name of my next born son:) you can't go wrong with james - totally classic and noble.

Ben was really close to being James. I love that name! All of the suggestions have been great! I do like Leo (Shayna I hope you will not have to worry about boy names with your next child!)
