My wife and I are planning to conceive our first child soon.
What do you think about the names we picked out? We wanted common names, and not names that the child would get picked on for.
Girl: Olivia Grace (Not named after anyone, we don't like any of our family members' names.)
Boy: Alexander Thomas (Thomas was picked because it is my name, my father's name and my grandfather's name)
Do you like them?
What is your child's name?

Olivia is very popular right now.
Alexander has the advantage of having a lot of possible nicknames.
My kids names are Rachel Ann and Rebecca Faith.

I love the name Olivia Grace (especially grace)
Alexander Thomas is ok. But what matters is if you two want the names. Not what other's feel about it.
I do not have any children. However, I am thinking along the lines of girls: Lillian Mcoy (family name) (1800) , Hannah (family name back in 1700-1800), Madeline, Kimberly (one of my middle names) to name a few.
Boy: Issic, William Jr. (fiance name), Damian, Cal.

I think those are pretty names.
I have a daughter myself and her name is Jade Dakota..
I'm planning on having another child and if it's a boy I was thinking Duncan James (james cause of my name being Jamie and it's my husbands middle name and my grandfathers name)
or if it's a girl we were thinking Pandora Keyaira or Keyaira Marie..
Your names are quite wonderful though, not too common, but common enough.

Olivia is very popular right now. I know twelve of them between the ages of 3 mos. and 13 years.
Alexander is a really great choice as it is a very strong name.
Both names are great.
We named our kids
Madelyn Ellen
Lillian Gayle

I love Olivia Grace...it has such a nice sound to it!
My husband and I, with both our kids, decided not to pick any names until we saw our kids. Our boy's names are Jordan Gregory (Gregory is after my grandfather) and Jeremy Wayne (Wayne is my father-in-law).

I don't really like Olivia myself but Olivia Grace goes together good and the boy name is great!
My daughter is Natsaha Sandra( Sandra is after grandma)
My son is Waverly Jordan(Waverly is after great-grandpa who is deceased)

Both are very nice names, but Olivia is quite popular right now. You have to ask yourself if you want five kids answering when your daughter's teacher calls on her in class.

I like both names picked out, not like some that the celebrities are picking out. My daughter's name is Abbie instead of Abby. Good luck
