Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

I am writting my very first discussion today lol.
I have come to the conclusion that when we have children we use our fav names for our first child and then are stuck with whats left with the subsequent children. I have two daughters whose names are, *Ava Grace *Lilly Kate we are unsure of the sex with baby number three as it wasn't very co-operative  we have a few picked out, but really undecided (we live in australia so spelling may be different to what you are used to?) girls- Scarlett may matilda may isabelle may Boys- Braxton John Rush Michael Hudson michael/john Brock michael |

Not sure why you have posted this as a vent. Anyway, I really like any of the girl names, but the boy names look like they wouldn't be out of place on a US soap opera.

Really like Scarlett May & think it's a great match with your other girls.
I have nothing to say about your boys names, sorry. |

Rush is kinda cool, I like that one.
Braxton is ok, but I prefer Baxter. I also like Hudson, but not keen on Brock. I like all 3 of your girls choices, Scarlett in particular. Good luck in trying to pick. Oh, and this is an Aussie site

Matilda May is cute. Isabelle May is nice I sort of prefer the Isabel spelling. Scarlett May is too adjective/noun for me, like it makes my eye go "as opposed to a Misty October I guess" which might be my own weirdness. Scarlett Mae would do that less.
Braxton John - Baxter would sound better, IMO. Rush Michael - Rush like the Canadian band or like Rush Limbaugh? Hudson michael/john - The best of them. I like Michael and John the best of your boys' names. I also like Jonathan/Jonah and Micah/Malachi, if Michael and John are too staid and classic to be considered for firsts? |

I think Matilda May is gorgeous (May is one of my favorites).
Agree Hudson Michael best if your boy names. |

I like all of the girl's names and I think they work well with the names of your other 2 daughters.
TBH I am not mad on the boy's names. Hudson is the best. Luci |
