I love this week's Top 2 Tuesday, especially since we are going to be trying for a baby soon! Jeff and I have had baby names picked out for a long time! I'm kind of bummed that both of them are really popular now, but I'll still use them anyway!
For a boy, it's a tradition on Jeff's mom's side of the family that ALL the boys have a name that being with "J." I personally don't like this tradition because the majority of the good ones are already taken by people who are too young to have a kid named after them! The only "J" name we both like that's not taken and works with our last name is:
Jackson! We'd call him Jack. Not sure on a middle name yet. Jeff wants to use his first name (He has his dad's first name as his middle name, which is Donald, so that kind of sucks in my opinion) so the kid would be Jackson Jeffrey, but I don't really like the way it sounds and I told him he doesn't get the "J" name and his first name as the middle name lol! If we have another boy, I don't know what we would do for a name...
I've had my girl name picked out forever and Jeff loves it, so we're set on that! If we ever have a girl her name will be:
Lily! For a middle name, I'd like to do Patricia after my mom. I think it sounds pretty and Jeff likes it too! If we had another girl, her name would Probably be Hannah Christine, the middle name being Jeff's mom's first name.
What are your favorite baby names?

Oooh pretty names! I love baby names :) Ours are all family/Saint names. Boring but timeless!
I picked Jack, too! :) So cute!
Lily is a darling name for a girl as well...so feminine!
Good names! Isn't it funny how families have "mandatory" names!?
we put so much time and energy into naming our dogs, we joke were just going to re-use the names.. lol
Emma and Jackson!
Love those!!!
Love Jackson!!!
Very cute and classic names. Beautiful!
I love Jackson, but by boyfriend's(and hopefully one day hubby) last name is Robinson...so that takes away anything that ends in "son" {sad}!
Jackson is my top boy's name too! Jackson Robert, because Robert is my dad's name :) and then Parrothead's last name hopefully!! :)
Jackson was my FAVE boys name forever...but my FIL is Jack and I didn't want to get into naming my kids after people even if that wasn't why I picked it. So alas, I had to let it go.
Baby names are hard...especially when you have a real baby to name!! You have some good ones though!
Our current front runners are James David and Brooke Elizabeth. We'll find out soon which one we've got!
Love them both. Hope that you get to use one soon :)
I was thinking Jack...but then the 3 babies that were born to mothers in my office just before Blake was born were: Jack, Jackson, and Jackson!! Oh well....
What beautiful names! Hope you have a great week.
Every Lily I've ever known has been adorable. It's like the name you can't go wrong with!
And I absolutely love Jackson
I love your name choices!!! Jackson is absolutely adorable and you can't go wrong with Lily!
I love the name Jackson...always have!! And thanks for the kind words, believe it or not it was some of my own family members and I intercepted emails from them about me instead of comments...People are so ignorant.
Lily is a good name. That is my nieces name. :) Her middle name is Renee after me.
I love the name Jackson and luckily that fits in with the “J” tradition. Lilly is really cute too. It is so hard picking out baby names and have never really even given thought to the middle names. It sounds like you’ve got it set!
For a boy, I love Justin and Luke. For a girl, I love Olivia and Chloe.
