    We need major baby name help!!!!!

    Hello, my name is Michelle, hubby is Dustin and daughter is Anna. I am pregnant with another girl and my husband does not like any name that anyone has said yet. I like an easy name that has a good meaning (Anna means gracious). Our last name is Ladd so it goes pretty well with most names. Our mothers and I like Lillian Faye, because his mom's maiden name is Lilly which is hard to say with Ladd but if you make it Lillian it is easier and she can still be called Lilly and my mom's middle name is Faye. He does not like this. If anyone has any good ideas I would greatly appreciate the help!!!! I have no clue what he is looking for and if you ask him it is just a name he likes so I don't think he knows either. I guess I have to give the man credit for taking this seriously but I really hate not having a name for my child. I just call her baby sister right now but I am sure she won't appreciate that when she is a teenager LOL.

    I know the feeling, my bf is no help with names other than he doesn't really like it, or he'll tell me to pick whatever I like lol. We are hoping for a girl, he has 3 boys already and I have 2 boys and a girl, but if it's a boy, he wants to name him Seamus. The name has to start with an S to follow the pattern I have with my kids names, and that's the one he likes. The Irish form of James, starts with an S, and his fathers name is James and we just lost him back in June. I'm just hopin its a girl. I will think of some names and try to get back to you on it. with any ideas IU come up with lol

    I think Lilly Faye Ladd is beautiful. The lliteration of Lilly Ladd flows nicely. I am always in favor of using family names.

    I am hoping to have a girl. My husband and I have 3 boys already. I need some estrogen in the house lol. I like these names: Avery Saige Ladd Emery Olivia Ladd Nevaeh Grace Ladd Emily Sage Ladd And as for boys with S's.... please do not name your child Seamus! I totally understand the meaning behind it but yeah, no! Personally I love Sebastian that's one of my favorites.

    Why not Seamus? If we have a boy that is what we are naming our son...we think it's a strong name...

    IMO: why not Seamus... well.. it would depend on where you live... what country you are from.... There are certain names... that I know here in Florida can get a  kid teased... for example... a little girl on my sons bus last year was named Fagina (pronounced like Vagina with an F) And she was teased on a constant basis... to the point where 3 boys were Suspended from school for something akin to sexual harrassment... so names might sound good and look good to us adults.. but we must remember what it is like to be a kid with a name that is close to something that could be transformed into an easy target... Seamus... to me.. is too close to Semen.... but it is JMO

    Seamus is actually pronounced "Shay-mus". I really like the name a lot, but we decided that we didn't want our son to have to go through life teaching people how to pronounce his name. So instead I think we're going with Grady.

    Oh, well we are naming our son Shaemus, actually. I just wrote it 'Seamus' becasue they are pronounced the same way and that's how you had written it. Duh-my pregnancy brain is really not on the ball lately. I told my parents we're naming our son Shaemus and they said 'Shame Us'? ha! ha! I had never thought of it that way....lol

    See... I had no idea it was pronounced that way... and the other spelling that you gave makes much more sense to me... LOL Congrats on the son...
