What did you name your babies

What did you name your babies and why? I'll go first... I named my baby Elliot Stuart John and every part of his name holds a piece of my heart ❤️👶. My nanna’s initials were E.T., and she always joked that she was the alien from the movie E.T. 👽✨ She would point her finger, smile, and say, “E.T. phone home.” ☎️🏡 In the film, the little boy who befriended E.T. was called Elliott — it felt like more than just a coincidence. When I said the name out loud for the first time, my baby kicked 👣💙 — almost like he was telling me he loved it too. My partner even joined in, doing the finger point and quoting “E.T. phone home.” ☝️ Then, as if the universe was sending me a message, I spotted a huge billboard that simply said, “Hello, I’m Elliot.” 🌟✨ It felt like all the signs were leading me to the name — and I just knew it was meant to be. Stuart is after his amazing dad 🤍. John is for my wonderful dad, who heartbreakingly passed away in 2022 🕊️❤️. Naming after him was my way of keeping a part of my dad close to us forever.

Awwww that’s so beautiful! And what a gorgeous little one you have! I’m sure your dad is smiling down on him and honoured ❤️ We named our little boy Nathan Ayanda. Nathan means gift of God and it felt right because he was unexpected at a time when I had even wondered if I can have babies at all. Ayanda means “increasing “ in this case blessings and is a name in my native language which I wanted him to have a piece of.

Elias Dean Allan. We just liked the name Elias. And Dean is my partners middle name x

Elliott William - just because we loved the name Elliott and William after his grandad that passed away years before elliott was born . my girl is Alba Skye . Alba from a movie Time travellers wife 2009 😂 they have a daughter called Alba and I fell in love with it . Skye after an Island in Scotland

Archer Christopher David, I had no idea what I wanted to call him and the morning before I went into labour I said to my mum Archer was a cool name. Then my waters broke at 6pm and I took that as a sign. It took me quite a while to really like the name and shortly after he was born my grandmother died. The man who wheeled her coffin into the service was called Archer and that’s when I knew I’d made the right choice. His 2 middle names are after both of his grandfathers

@Deanna this is the first I’ve known someone else to call their little boy Archer ❤️

@Shannon ahh another Archer! It’s such a lovely name isn’t it

Ranten Lee, his first name is actually my name and his father's name put together. The first 3 letters comes from his father's name and the remaining are from mine, Randy and Kristen. His middle name was after my grandmother

We named our boy Luca, meaning bringing of light ✨️ after 3 miscarriages he was my light :) his middle name is Christopher which is my dad's first name which I love dearly. Always been daddy's little girl 🥰 i got to choose the middle name because we took my partners last name so it wasn't different to his other kids (my step kids). I had more say in the name as dad missed the birth as he was out camping with the other kids 5hrs away with no reception. Little man decided to come 6wks early!!

Awww, that's absolutely beautiful! We named our little one Adam Roberto. We rlly struggled to agree on a first name, but we ended up settling on Adam, it's a beautiful name and we just liked it. Roberto is after my grandpa that passed away before I was even one, his name was Robert, but I felt like Roberto sounds better than Robert, but it's also still the same, especially since its the Spanish version of the name (we're not actually Hispanic tho)

Loving all the reasons you gave your babies their names brought tears to my eyes, ❤️

Everlee Ray: Everlee because my fiancé rides bikes and there’s a apt complex called Everlee by our house and Ray is a family name. 🩷

Sorry — I see this is a boy mom group but it popped up on my feed!

My son’s name is Zion Elijah Guzman. His dad picked it out and I absolutely love it.

My daughters name is Ezra

My fiance was adamit on naming our son Aspen so he picked the name 🤷‍♀️ I picked the name middle name so his name Aspen Richard and Richard was my dad's name so I thought it be nice to give him my dad's name

@Hannah if we had a girl, I wanted to call her Everlee! Beautiful name. ♥️

My little boy is Jasper. My late dad used to like the little ghost character ,Casper the friendly ghost. I like either Casper / Jasper . I chose Jasper as it sounds nice, it is uncommon name. The name stuck with me for a long while for fews years in-fact before I had him.

Giovanni! We both like an anime with a character that has that as a last name and my husband is Italian so it fit our last name really well 😅

Arthur after my grandad 🥰 and then Hattie.. because I like it 😂 I actually used to name all my kids Arthur and Hattie when I used to play the Sims yeeears ago before I met my partner, so we're talking 9+ years ago, Hattie was going to be Mabel for ages until her dad suggested Harriet and then I remembered about my old Sims playing days and brought it to life when we went with Hattie Mae 😂 (May was his grandma's middle name so it's worked out well)

Avis Kathleen, Atticus Kenneth, Avalon Kae. They all had to have strong latin first names and A. K. Initials. I don't know why other than that. I loved the name Aurelies Kai for a boy.

@Shannon I love The Original Vampires 🧛‍♂️

My sons are Tommy-John Freddie- Kevin. Second names both are my dad and my uncle who sadly passed.

My daughter’s name is Bohème Jacqueline Pumpkin. Her name is French for “bohemian” and when my husband and I went on our honeymoon, one of the places was Bohemia and we loved it! We also love what it means and that it’s a famous opera. Her second name is after my sister; she is my favorite person in the world and the third name my husband selected and I love it because I love pumpkins!! My second daughter’s name is Bijoux Marguerite Ángela. It’s French for “jewels” and the second is French for my name and the third is after my dad who is the best! If I have a third, I will name it after my husband and mother in law ♥️

Príncipe means prince in Spanish

George Arthur We always liked both of these names and he was almost Arthur George but my husband just about preferred George to Arthur. One of my grandads was named Ronald Arthur and my other grandad was David George, so it was also a lovely nod to both of them. 🩵 My eldest is Grace Sarah. My sister passed away 3 days before her 21st birthday, when I was 22. Her name was Sarah Grace, so we switched the name round to honour her. 💕

Arthur David Alan Arthur my grandfathers middle name who passed 2 months before I found out I was pregnant. David as both mine and my boyfriends dads are called David and it fit well. And Alan after my boyfriends nans partner who was like a grandad to him, who sadly passed away a few months after Arthur was born
