It’s gender reveal week! We find out what we’re having Thursday afternoon and I’ll probably share with you all on Friday (maybe my email subscribers will know the day of *wink*)! In honor of this big week, I’ll be sharing two baby-related posts. First, our top 5 girls and boys names and second,  a boy and girl nursery design to help get your creative juices flowing if you’re designing a nursery also!

For now, let’s start with names. Now, we probably will keep our name choice to ourselves until after baby is born – the way we did with Fischer – because people can just be weird about names. In the meantime, though, at least you’ll have an idea and can start making guesses and speculations 😉 When picking names, we try to go for ones we don’t really hear too often – at least around us – and we tend to choose ones with a bit of a southern flair. So, here we go.

Our Top 5 Girl Names

I have to tell you, G has had a girl name picked out since before we even started thinking too much about kids! It’s currently the one at the top of our list if Baby F is a girl – can you guess which one? Here are the choices:

  • Charlotte “Charlie”
  • Campbell
  • Olivia
  • Adelaide “Addie”
  • Sawyer

Out Top 5 Boy Names

Our boy name ideas haven’t changed much from when we were choosing one for Fischer, so this list was pretty easy to narrow down!

  • Ben
  • Graham
  • Finn
  • Henry
  • Beckham

What do you all think? Which is your favorite choice for each?!

What to Consider When Choosing a Name

When it came to coming up with name ideas for Baby F #2, there are a few things we kept in mind.

  • How the name sounds with Fontenot
  • How common is the name
  • What the initials would be
  • Family names – in first or middle name
  • How it sounds alongside Fischer’s name
  • Possible nicknames we – or other people – might call them

As a little something extra, I thought I’d also throw some names out there that I personally love, but that didn’t make it on our lists for one reason or another.

  • Rowan
  • Wells
  • Briggs
  • Noah
  • Beau
  • Emma
  • Kate
  • Grace
  • Madeline

What are some of your favorite names?!
