Default Baby names and NO idea

One name I have always liked for a girl is Kate. Simply Kate. Kate
not-short-for-anything, Kate is the full name. Problem is I can't make it
work as a first name, only as a middle name, and I prefer to name my kids
what they'll be called as there first name, for no logical reason, it's
just a thing I have. My brother goes by his middle and all his mail and
listings are in his first name. Seems simple to avoid that.

So, Kate what? What Kate? I am out of ideas. Meredith Kate? Too clsoe to
Mary Kate.Someone suggested to me Katelyn Brooke, but I don't know...not
fond of Katelyn. If I did use, it would be Caitlyn. Or is it Caitlin? I
am growing fond of Caitlin/Caitlyn actually... what else goes well with
plain Kate though? Hannah Kate, I just don't know.


I also love the name Kate, on it's own. I think it's a beautiful, strong,
confident name. There are so many great combinations you could come up
with- why use it for the middle name? Surely you could find a couple of
great names to use as a middle name for Kate. Kate Elizabeth? Kate
Alexandra? Kate Bernadette? Kate Julianna? Kate Margaret.........Kate
Georgianna........Kate Marie or Maria..............Kate Rebecca (I like that
one a lot)! ............I think it needs to be a strong, classic name.


For a boy I have even less ideas as I don't have a name that I love like
Kate. Zachary?.....William....? Joshua? I can't come up with anything. All
the boy names I like are "taken" by family members. I like Thomas but it's
way taken. I like Benjamin, it's used by someone nearby and I would feel
awkward to name my kid that too. Same with Adam.


In my experience (I live in MA), Zachary, William and Joshua are all very
popular. I know 3 little Williams! Benjamin is very nice- it was our 2nd
choice for our son.

Don't worry, you'll come up with something. I didn't go in to labor with my
son having no clues on a name, but he wasn't named for a few hours at least.
My niece wasn't named for 2 days.

It's actually used by two
people so it would be more awkward, otherwise I like Adam...grrr! It
really would feel awkward to name my kid something that someone related to
me or near me in some way has named their kid, you know? They took all the
good names, how could they do that to me? :P

LOl but really, I feel like if I have nothing else ready that's fine but
it's too bad not to have a name. This means I will surely go into labor
early and will not be prepared.
