Hmm…
Girl:
Torrence (call her Tory!)
Boy:
Jayden
If it’s a girl, name her Vanya, after The White Violin. But Helena is an awesome choice too.
ok i think if its a girl, she should b named elena after g’s grandma, andrea, or kaitlin of course. (aurora was a good one too lol)
Well…
Something unusual…but not the regular celebrity unusual onslaught of unfortunately named children who will probably one day make up a nickname that’s a normal name, like Jim, to cover up…
But nothing generic…because it’s your child, and children are special and unique…perferably something that means something to you, but not strange. I think that makes sense.
Honestly, if it was me, Indigo for a girl (or, as the popular vote suggests so enthusiastically, Elena) and…well, I’m want to be a fiction writer someday, but guy names have never been my thing…but here’s what I’ve made for them… since I’m mostly impartial.
Zach, Jason, Kane (who, uncoincidentally, has a sister named Abele), and, um…well, that’s all the important ones.
But please, this is YOUR child. Do not take my names seriously. Your choice in the end.
Though I really am freakishly partial to Indigo.

Aw, their baby is gonna be so cute! (:
Ooooh, something really weird and different!
Hmm… My friend’s name is Cleopatra, but she hates her name, so i don’t know…
Name her Isabel like me! XD
There is this author who names his two daughters Page and Story, so Gerard and Lindsey would name their daughter something related to music (:
Like Voice, or something xD
they should name the baby Elena, after Gerard’s grandma, if it’s a girl.
helena or elena
Hmm…
Girl:
Violet
Elena
Alyssa
Boy:
Seth
Jayden
Anthony
CONGRATS!!!
DRACULA
I think good names for the baby would be River, for a boy (like River Phoenix the deceased actor), and Helena, for a girl. But I’m positive whatever they choose will be freakin amazing.
if a boy they can name him anthony. if a then maybe michelle but ultimately it’s there choice
mmmmm….probally alea if its a girl..conner if its a boy. but gee and linz should name their baby whatever they wish.i mean its their baby.but im sure what ever they choose is gonna be f-n super cool:3long live McR!!!!
girl:
Elana(if Gerard could handle it )
[[means:Torch; bright light]]
Naomi(nay O mee) (i love that name)
[[means:Beautiful, pleasant, delightful]]
Boy:
Alexander
[[means:Defending men]]
I am so happy if you read these comments Gerard
Cos if you do thats awesome!
Anyway you should name your baby an Italian name to honor your heritage!
hmm thats a challenge
Girl: i kinda live the name Leena idk why
Boy: i like Seth and Ethan, however Mikey and Gerard are two other faves but idk if hed wanna name his son( if he has a boy) after himslef or his brother
I like the name christopher!!!!!
I think Vera is a nice name. Simple and sweet and it goes along with your family name Way. Elena, and Vanya is not a bad idea after all. For a boy, Seance is quite nice or Vulcan which is the name of the roman god of fire.
Oh ya, here’s some suggestion for a boy name. Lestat (famous vampire character) or Aiden, cute and simple.
i say that imagen would be beautiful and unique if its a girl.
or aiden or adrien if its a boy. congrats you guys. ull have such a pretty baby. ^_^ <3
Little Gerard Way babies (:
Name it…..
Violet.
Or Alexandria.
Or… Helena works well too (:
a uber massive congrats to gerard and linsey, if a girl i think mira (my rah) or if a boy jamie
l8rz
Whatever name bot Linsey and Gerard like XD
Well i think its just kind of weird for people to leave comments about what they should they should name their child but i couldn’t resist. if it’s a girl OR boy i always thought jude would be nice. thnx ~ misfit
Boy: Vincent
Girl: Kara
Those are what ill name mine
hey i think that they should name the baby whatever they want but Elena or Helena would be a great tribute to gee an mikeys grandma (if gee can handle it). But if the baby is a boy i like the name Aiden or Christian its super simple and awesome. Congrats to you both the baby will be super adorable. Good luck!
Congratulations to them!
Boy: Oliver
(From the Latin origin means: Peace and Joy, Chivalrous, Sensitive, Affectionate)
Girl: Charity
(means: Benevolent Goodwill and Love )
if its a girl they should name her either Elena after his grandma, or Alexandra cuz that name is pretty or Elizabeth cuz thats pretty 2 (plus its my middle name lol)
if its a boy they should name him either Adam cuz its a cool name or Joshua cuz its another cool name or Daniel cuz they can call him Danny!
Violet is another pretty name for a girl. Lyra [lie ra] is another pretty name for a girl2. Alexandra and Elena are pretty2 Ella is a nice one plus it goes with the family name Way. Elizabeth is awesome 2 cuz its pretty and has many built in nicknames!
Hmm… Like, half of these comments say Helena, if a girl. I agree. But if it’s a boy, they should name him Rolfe. That’d be pretty cool.
i think Olivia is the sweetest name.and i like the name charlotte.both classy and elegant. something like charlotte olivia but of course her initials would be cow.so olivia charlotte way would be good.it doesnt spell anything.
ive always loved the name aiden. its different and i dont know anyone named aiden .but its getting popular.i like Tristan. its adorable.but whatever they decide, i hope it doesnt have to do with jungle book. and i would not name my child after fictional characters from a comic i wrote. children need their own identity.not someone to live up to or be critisized for not being like.especialy if theyre only imaginary.
helena is a beautiful name, maybe if it was a girl have that with lynzs mom/grandmothers/a name close to her heart . that would be rele sweet. … as for a boy im not sure. whatever they call it im sure will be a fab for them, and better than poor pete wentz/ashley simpsons baby. “mowgli brox simpson wentz”
