So now we know all the baby names you hate...
but I'm interested to hear about the names you chose if your baby would have been the other sex and didn't get to use, or the other names you had picked for your LO but didn't end up going with. if you're planning on having more babies and plan to use one of those names, you don't have to share, of course.
our LO is a girl. if she had been a boy, her name would have been Phoenix. no middle name.
I also love Lex, but DH didn't like that name because of association with someone.
other girl names I chose were:
Cali - but thought it sounded too cutesie for when she is older and introducing herself at the office
Kaylin - from LEGEND OF THE SEEKER, but spelled differently. didn't choose it because there are too many girl names with the K sound nowadays
Aylin - rhymes with the above, but is too close to the word "alien"
Cecilia Rae - just a classic
Raven Penelope - probably too dark a name
Sloane - this was DH's pick, but to me it sounds too much like Sylvester Stallone
in the end, she was named Skye Penelope. DH came up with Skye, and Penelope is MIL's name as well as my grandmother's name
