Baby names???

Ok, so in my state of needing to help pass time I want to start a little name guessing game. I know that you don't know if it is a boy or a girl, so you will need to guess a girl name and a boy name even if you are SURE it is one or the other.

You will have to leave you guesses in the comment section of the blog so all can enjoy and take part in the fun.

When I say ALL that is what I mean. There are many people who check this blog who never leave a comment which is perfectly fine, but for this game I am asking you to participate.

Let's see how many people we can get to take part in this blog post. I think our record is 16 comments.

Can't wait to see your guesses. Maybe I give a reward to anyone who guesses the right name.

27 comments:

  1. Okay so Since everyone knows I think they are having a girl. My girl guess is Ella Rose. My boy guess is Douglas Willis. (There is a dream behind the boy name and Willis is Nick's guess). Since it's not going to be a boy, I'll just leave that as my guess.

  2. I thought I heard you say once that the only names you were thinking about could go either way (boy or girl names) so I've been trying to think of names that I would like either way. I had two that I was liking, right now I can only remember one: Jordan.

    If it's a boy, I'd bet the middle name would be John, but it's a girl, and I don't have a clue . . . sticking with Rose maybe? Jordan Rose.

    Isaiah's guesses:
    girl:Kayla, because I keep calling Caleb Kayla (and mommy keeps telling me that's a girl's name)-- Wait, no, Princess.
    boy:still "Cool Dude"

    Michael's guesses:
    girl: Katelyn (Kate)
    boy: Jack, we don't have any Jacks.

    Robert's guesses:
    girl: Celina
    boy: Javier

  3. I think I used up all my luck on getting Matea right, so here goes. Girl name Josie Rose (just a cute name- no reason- a real shot in the dark) and for a boy John Nicholas. Did we ever get any hints of any kind that I missed / because I'd like another guess if there was some kind of hints given at some point.... love Beth

  4. Ooooh, Amy, I LOVE the name Ella. We thought of using it as a girl's name (before we found out Luke was a boy) because it's so close to my maiden name. :)

    I'm totally cheating here, and hoping Nicole's right with the interchangable boy/girl name and using the middle names already suggested.

    The only name I could think of that would work either way is Cameron.

    So Cameron Rose or Cameron John. :)

    p.s. I'm still laughing at Isaiah's suggestions. :)

  5. My gut instinct is a girl named Grace Marie. If it is a boy, I love Benjamin Michael. I wanted to name one of our boys Benjamin but my husband vetoed it! I hope to have some internet access on vacation so I can keep checking in. I am praying for you all. Carolyn

  6. I LOVE this game!!

    I'm cheating also (from Nicole's suggestions). I would have picked Rose (for Jenny's middle name) and since I'm not sure I know Mark's middle name I'm going to go with John for the boy's middle name also.

    My guesses are Casey Rose and Casey John.

  7. Since we do not know any family history, our guesses are simply names we just like :)
    Brittany and I guess Breanna and James.

  8. I'll have to think about it.
    Jenny - you should add a "List" gadget and add the baby names as people guess. That way, when people open your blog, they can see who has guessed what on the side of your blog. So, you would have to tally up all the names as people leave comments, and add them to the list every so often.
    so fun!

  9. I will have to think and post a name later, but I do have a question: Beth, did you really guess Matea? WOW! One clue somewhere that I think I heard was that the name they had chosen had a nickname which they did not like.

  10. Ok, I'm cheating as well...from Nicole's suggestion...you once told me that when you looked waaaay back at your list of names from long ago and Emery made your top 15 list...and besides, you know how I'm partial to that name! It can swing either way....Emery Lane for a boy and Emory Rose for a girl (i guess that's the consensus for your middle name?? didn't know that...i thought it was Marie). I'll have to tell you, i'm not a very patient person, and i'm getting anxious to see this new little one...and we're leaving on vacation soon! :) Geri

  11. While I'm partial to Ella :),I thought you said you were working out spellings and I don't know how else you would spell it. However, I'd love to have another Ella.

    I'm going to go with two wild guesses:
    Adrian (could be boy or girl and could be spelled lots of ways)
    Avery (boy or girl)

    If I win, I totally deserve a prize because this is a total wild guess. And yes....I've been following your blog religiously without posting any comments but since you insisted....(haha)
    Congrats on your new addition!

  12. I guessed Matea because Mazzie was calling the baby "baby patayta" and a family in Paola had just adopted a baby from Guatamala named Mateo (a boy) and Matea is the feminine form of it... to answer Cheryl's question....

  13. I think it's a boy and you will name him Nicholas James. ~Luann

    Is there a prize?

  14. Ok, I'm another first "poster"....Baby boy guess is Riley James (as a nod to Manhappiness) - and I wouldn't like RJ for a nickname either. Baby girl guess is Sadie Rose. I had also thought of Grant for a boy since he would be granting your life-long wishes.

  20. IF it's a girl--how about Katelyn Jennifer? ~Luann

  21. Dang, I keep trying to come up with names that no one has used and I just can't do it. I wish I hadn't read all of the other comments. So, I'll just put out there the names that I liked at the beginning.

    Girl: Avery Rose
    Boy: Caden James

  22. How about Abigail/Abi Rose or Christopher John? Or are you going to use Kampling for the middle name for a boy or girl? Debbie B.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Of course no one has guessed it, because your naming her after me!! - Brandi Rose. How sweet, I feel so special.
    Ok, all joking aside,
    here are my guessing....
    Girl - Casey, Corrie or Jaymee
    Boy - Eli, Calen or Caden
    And yes, I get more than one guess, cause I'm special, remember?!

    I'm not even trying middle names---too hard.

  24. I have a suggestion of a name for you if you have a girl: Twila.

    Love,

  25. I have always thought a little girl should be named Molly. In fact, I will make the offer that IF you have a girl and IF you name her Molly, I will pay for her college education - IF she wears red and graduates from Nebraska.

  26. My suggestion for a little girl would be Melina Marie (I need to watch CSI again to see how to spell Melina) and for a little boy I like Alex Joseph.

    Brenda makes the guess of Isabelle Rose for a girl or Alex John for a boy.

    Love,
    Mom K

  27. Mom told me about this so I just had to put my two cents into it.
    Boy- Gabriel James
    Girl- Gabriella ( I think that's how you spell it)

    I hope the best for you and mark in these next few days, you two are definitely in my prayers everyday!
    love,
    patrick
