    Does anyone else feel like they are searching and searching for the perfect name but just haven't come across it yet?

    Has anyone actually FOUND The Perfect Name (boy or girl).

    I have no idea about the perfect name! DS is Jensen Andrew, but for this bub - we're totally clueless. At the beginning, we had a girls name picked out, and now, even that is out the window.

    None of my names were perfect until I held them in my arms and went "yes that's it!"
    So yes mine are My perfect names and they are
    Oscar Parker
    Benjamin John (Benny Boy!)
    Tess Alice (Tessy, Tessa, Tessica )..this was the hardest as I loved Alice, DH didn't know we were having a girl and I did and said he couldn't get the Living Next Door To Alice song (the night club version) out of his head, so Tess she is. And yep it's perfect

    My perfect name is DD - Tara Rose - which I have loved for years and years and years...

    This time around though who knows. I keep tossing around girls names but have no idea on boys names, if they are both boys I think they will be called Twin A & Twin B for a long time

    DD has the most beautiful name I think - Evie Jean. DH came up with the Evie and Jean is my nana's name.

    my daughters was the most perfect name and still is Katy Rose.......I chose it when I was in highschool

    my boys were harder I dont know why robert was always going to be a middle name, I had no relaives with this name it just stuck whenever I thought boys name Jake, treyy the list went on robert was the middle name, and low and behold I met and married a man whose dad's name is robert and whose middle name is robert so I guess you could say Robert was a my perfect choice

    sos I have Jack Robert and Luke Archer Archer I have loved for years as well and FIL middle name is archerbald so it fits as well

    I don't feel like either of sons got a 'perfect' name. I just couldn't find a name that I felt had the perfect balance of funky, unique, not-too-wacky, good nick-name...

    For a girl I would have used Ramona and I think it's a perfect name.

    My DS already has the Perfect boys name, (Quinn) so if this baby is a boy it will have to have the 2nd most perfect boys name, I just need to find it. Then I'll feel guilty that possible DS #2 has the 2nd most perfect name. I am liking all of these lovely perfect names though - keep 'em coming.

    meow: I know what you mean with the perfect balance of funky unique not too whacky...they are pretty much my criteria, has to be easy to say and spell and not too crazy but not too common, all the names I liked before DS was born have become a lot more common since 4 years ago.

    Rach75 I love that you always wanted Robert then your DH had all of the robert connections, VERY cool!

    We had lots of nice names on our list for DS but it wasn't until we saw 'Archie George' that we both knew it was the perfect name - we had a lightbulb moment of "yep, that's it!"

    I do worry that finding another perfect name for a second DS is going to be a challenge.

    My perfect name for a girl is/was Audrey but I don't think it goes well with Archie, so I'll have to find another.

    Good luck with your search. I hope you have that lightbulb moment.

    Also - our 'almost perfect' name choice for DS was Angus, which I love, but it got trumped by Archie.
