BABY NAMES I LOVE BUT WON'T BE USING // + sharing my baby's name and meaning

I'm so glad you're here! Let's talk baby names. This was such a highly requested video - let's read through all the baby names I've loved over the years and haven't used (yet!). I'm also sharing how we came up with our daughters' names and their meanings.

Just had my second baby - had my first in December 2021 and debated between Hallie and Hadley! Our baby girl Hadley was born December 2023- absolutely love her name!

[@gabbyhuddleston2321]

Love these names and the name you chose for Hallie is so unique and beautiful! My son’s name is Jackson! We call him Jack. It means “God has been gracious” it was a perfect fit for our rainbow baby ☺️ It has gotten super popular in the last few years!

I just had our second child a week ago and I find our newborn names very similar! I always love Eleanor, Wells, Hallie, Calvin (Callaghan, Calloway), Annie, Charlie (for a girl back when I was a teenager was on my list). Our daughter's name is Meredith and I just had our James ❤❤

[@Simplisticillustrations]

I love videos like this where parents share their cute baby names . I'm pregnant with baby #6 it's a girl. I love the name u chose for your daughter. I don't have a name yet for my new daughter. I don't really like channels much that reveal the name after birth I guess it depends who u watch right. Congrats on your bundle of joy.

[@juliadesiderio1734]

Such sweet names- I wouldn’t go with Annie because the twins in the parent trap are Annie and Hallie hahah, it just made me think of that but I love your picks!

[@brielledaugherty9377]

oh my goodness Hallie is a beautiful name! Great choice, and the meaning makes it even more special! I love watching you so much! I hope you will have a great time with baby Hallie!

[@lillianepperson3410]

LOVE the name Nina...never had a girl so named my dog instead!

[@ritabarnes2440]

Hallie Grace is a beautiful name as is Jordan Claire. So happy she is here and all is well.

[@hannahcherney5627]

Awww Emma! How precious, Hallie is a beautiful name 😊

[@iheartmakeup23]

Love baby name videos too! I had my third baby this past December-a boy named Jordan! I love the name Jordan for either gender. Thanks for sharing all your name ideas!

[@sealeymackey4149]

I ADORE her name 😍

[@karynsisco9154]

Congratulations!

[@molly.stevens.1228]

Totally relate to the last name ending in s ughhhh. Love the name Collins! Also like Brooks and Wells but it just doesn't work! I also appreciated hearing you talk about balancing the syllables 😂 I have trained my husband well on that concept. People do such unbalanced names sometimes and I wish I could impart some name wisdom on them haha!

[@tomihammons4569]

I love that name. It is my 23 year old daughter’s name. It was both of my grandma’s and great grandma’s name put together!

[@megancox9549]

You picked great names for your daughters! I agree boy names are impossible, though Calvin and Graham are so sweet.

[@melaniekvasnicka2638]

Love her name! Hadley was my top name for years! I’m shocked I didn’t use that name, but once I was pregnant it didn’t feel right. We considered Hallie and then landed on Haylee Hope 💜 I love a good H name!

[@laurenmccook6632]

Your boy name list sounds like my class (Calvin, Graham, Jackson, and Beau are all in my class and there's kids named Hadley and Micah on my team). I absolutely love the name Hallie and now that I know the meaning of it, I'm definitely moving it towards the top of my own list for my future babies!

[@alisonvoakes1024]

Congrats on baby Hallie! We have twin girls, one with the middle name Clare and the others’ middle name is Grace 🙂

[@willa0530]

My daughter's name is Hallie Emmeline. Love it.

[@autumnthurman]

I also love long e names! My daughter is Lucy Eleanor

[@stephanieburgess8217]

A teacher was pregnant and so all the girls in her class started coming up with girl names since she knew it was a girl and the name I came up with she used; Zoe Jordan. I had forgot about the middle one til just now.

[@I-love-goats]

Love it!! My name is Claire ❤❤ my dads, dads was named claire but without the e

[@ericapetre1422]

So cute. I agree that teaching does automatically nix a lot of names from the list lol…

[@princesskaitlinhazelwood4703]

I like the spelling Halley instead of Hallie. I do love the name. We named our daughter Kaitlin but we had Halley on our short list v

[@alliakaddoura3748]

I used my median name not oh yes this is it. But it was on my hubbys list as well

[@barbiebeau9197]

My dog’s name is Charlie and like you with Ellie, I wish I would’ve saved it for a baby. Buttt, his name fits him so well. He’s a goldendoodle 🐶

[@Movieloverlolz]

It’s funny my husband and I had the opposite, we had an easier time finding boy names than girl names. But my husband is VERY particular about girl names 🤣 I had my first baby, Alexander James December 5th 2023 💙

[@allthingsallisonmarieblog7694]

My son’s name is Levi! ❤

[@eeeeeeee60]

Just had a little boy named Clark ❤️ my maiden name is Jackson and my husband has floated that as a possible future boy name, which idk I go back and forth

[@aliciaimrie5582]

Hallie is my husband's name. Only person I have ever met with his name.

[@user-ok5tt1jt2z]

I love the name Hadley! Couldn't convince my husband though :(

[@henryprokop9170]

I was hoping to name a boy: Matthew Vincent(our last name started with a P) so initials woud have been MVP. For a girl it's Sunday Rose. Alicia from CT

[@ClaudiaSanchez-1991]

I have a daughter and a son. My son’s name is Allen because my husband’s name is Alejandro. But I didn’t want o name my son Alejjandro.
