taht was also my problem when i gave birth to my third child. i thought i was carrying a baby boy.. i didn't had an ultra sound because i wanted it to be surprise since i already had 2 girls prior to her. we even had a name for her if she was a boy (Alonzo Matthew) it took me days to process her birth cert. since we don't have any back-up name if that will be a girl. Good thing my 4th child was already a boy so no need to think for a name, and this time I already had my ultrasound just to make sure..

For some reason I knew my first was a boy from the moment we got pregnant so no back up names.

This time around I was convinced we were having a girl so Madyson Nicole was the name until week 18 when we had an ultrasound confirm it's another boy.

I have a boy whose name is John Curtis, there was never a question on what our boys name would be as he is a third! But if it was a girl she would have been Kimberly Blaire, and I would have called her Blaire (Kimberly is also my moms name!).

Names are so much fun! :) I have 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl

Mitchell Robert would have been: Kiersten Paige

Ryan Daniel would have been: Morgan Paige

Addison Paige would have been: Brett Anthony...because my husband didn't like: Ian Brennan (which was my next 1st choice in boys!) :)

Funny isn't it, how you have back up names...or opposite sex names yet you never use them for the "next" same sex child....funny how that works.

I like MANY MANY names....Joselyn Paige was one of our picks too...LOVE IT! But you obviously only have ONE to pick as a final! ;)

Have fun!

For a girl we had Sydney or Norah. But I got all three young boys:
Isaiah Austin Brian Cecil
Ethan John Arthur Leo
Eli Matthew Mark Aaron

All three of them have 3 middle names only because when my first son passed away I would look in the paper and one day I found a 98 year old man passed away with the exact same name as my son from the first name to the last name. So I thought a bunch of middle names would stop that from happening again.

i have a son - gage rylan but before we found out he was a boy we had myla destiny picked for a girl ( we picked it because the two names together mean "mercifully destined to be" and we had 5 years of infertility before being suprised with a pregnancy)

First child: Jonathan Isaac would have been Katrina Margaret

Second Child: Katrina Margaret- had several ultrasounds and different technicians say she was a girl... I don't think we ever had a backup boy name concrete for her. Might have been Jeremiah David- I can't remember.

Third Child: Eliana Joyce would have been Caleb Jeremiah if she'd been a boy. (I adore her to pieces but had been kinda hoping to be surprised with a boy even after the ultrasounds so I had a name picked out for my hopeful 'him')

Our daughter is Fay-Lynne Anna, if we would have had a boy it would have been Peter Reedie, Reedie being after my grandpa, Peter after my fiance's grandpa, and if we have a boy in the future that will most likely be his name.
