What's In a Name

15 days and continuing until the big reveal about Poppy!!  I'm having fun thinking up names and even convinced Mr. Cob to travel that road with me at brunch this past weekend.  We started going through the alphabet but only got to letter C!  So let's continue this fun game and pick out 52 potential names...the fun part is that I know if our "top" names are on this list or not!  Can you guess?  (And don't spoil the fun if you're one of the few people who know the top contenders!)

Boys names first and then girl names (while I would think this is self explanatory, my name doesn't fall into the typical category, so I feel the need to clarify).

Arthur
Addison

Bobby
Brynn


Clarke
Clara

Desmond
Daniella

Edmund
Emmerson

Franklin
Frances

Gusto
Gabriella

Henry
Hayden

Issac
Imogene

Julian
Jocelyn

Keenan

Leo
Lucretia

Morgan

Percival
Poppy

Quinn

Rosalyn

Sebastian
Serafina

Trevor

Umberto
Uma

Victor
Vivienne

Walter
Waverly

Xavier
Xena

York
Yvonne

Zane
Zoe

What do you think?  Love or hate any of these names?  I decided not to put our top two girl names or our top boy name on the list to avoid anyone saying they hate them and potentially swaying me away from using them.  Although, in making this list I came across some "new to me" names that will make this a tough decision.  I mean Lucretia Swan has a lovely ring to it (thanks mom and dad for that one)!!

  1. If you name your child Percival or Umberto I'm going to have to talk about you behind your back. Love Zoe! ;)

    1. Would you believe that Percival made the "final cut" list of boy names that is still on our fridge from Lukas?!? I thought the husband was crazy when he told me this last week, but sure enough, there it is. I must have temporarily lost my mind! He thinks it'd be "cute" because we could call him "Percy"....which now just makes me think of Thomas the Train.

      What's wrong with Umberto ;)

      I like Zoe too....

    1. But then his/her initials would be GPS, and that's just embarassing...
