POLL- Have you decided on your baby's name(s) yet?

SecondTimeinMSU

Just curious how many people have decided on the name of their baby or names in the case of team green and multiples

TakeMeAway55

First name picked, no middle name yet though!

SecondTimeinMSU

And yes this is totally a self serving poll since I am feeling guilty since I haven't decided yet, like I am not paying this kid enough attention.

babygabe614

Yep, we're all decided and have been sharing the name with friends/family so we can't go back on it!

k2k2tog

We have a name that we both like, and we'll go with if we find nothing else but we feel like we haven't done nearly enough looking and considering other names to be certain. So... quit pressuring me!

erind228

I voted ss. We have a girl's name picked out, but can't make a final decision on a boy's name. I'm guessing that means this baby is a boy. Wah wah wah.

Not even close. We don't like any of the names.

AandJ28

I voted SS... we've decided but like @megk82, I feel like there's still time to change it. We are not / have not shared with anyone (other than the middle name) because I don't want to hear anyone's opinions and also, just in case we do change. I'd say we're about 99.999% set.

SecondTimeinMSU

I do have two names that I am pretty much in between I just want to feel more 100% about either. I think it is tough since DS #1 got the boy's name I always loved so this time I feel I am starting totally from scratch

fsumom

Yes, but I don't think anyone is strange for not deciding yet.  It's a pretty big decision.  I'm just a bit anal and indecisive.  So what did I do when Dh and I finally decided on the name?  I immediately bought a monogrammed coming home outfit and the decal with his name for above his crib so I wouldn't keep looking at names and possibly change my mind.

^this exactly.

we have finally decided but DH was hesitant at first. I love the name and no matter what others we considered I always came back to it. DH couldn't decide so I said well I'm just going to use it and see how you feel. the more we used it to refer to the baby the better it sounded and DH loves it now

flerlgirl

We decided a few weeks ago (Jenna Paige) and then someone gave us a monogrammed towel and onesie so we are definitely set  

wtfisup

I said, "Yes," but we've decided on two possible options for her. We just want to wait until we meet her to make sure our chosen name fits. We have a backup in case.

This big mouth woman at work asked me again yesterday if we had chosen a name, and I lied and said yes.  She asked what it was.  I told her we weren't telling anyone because we didn't care about their opinions.

I was just so downright bitchy about it.  Oops.

fsumom

@ugabamafans, I bought it from anne everett rae.  They have an etsy shop and website.

coffee89

We have known the middle name since before we got pregnant. The first name DH picked a few months ago and I just finally agreed on completely and told our parents.

I'm still open to the idea that I might come up with something else between now and when he is here. This baby won't have a name 100% decided on until we fill out the birth certificate.

BMaidPlanner

We disagree on one letter. Seriously. Could mean a different name altogether, knowing us.

This!  And I think everyone should share their names (or possible names) so that we can be inspired!  Our possible name is Juliet but I'm not convinced its her name.

FAWKES81

We are pretty sure but are waiting to actually see him (this Friday) to see if it feels right.  Even then, we may wait until he gets here to make an official decision.

*Edit* By see him this Friday I mean we are having a 3D/4D elective ultrasound -not that he will be born!

ahopkins0419

I have a first name but no middle name.

deepoceanmama

We have a "short list," but are waiting to meet her to give her an official name. DH especially really feels like he needs to see her face before he can make a final decision. We rotate between the names on our list for what we call her for now.

kk627

We have a middle name, but no first name yet.

This is a great idea. No less than 10 minutes after I created this poll I went to fill up my water cup and was asked again if I had a name. I think I need a sign

ricecakes1216

H is 100% on it, I have been telling people I am 95%. This weekend it bumped up to 97.5%. I had been holding out to see if my brother is having a boy so I could use the name he is naming his baby (Lucas). He is having a boy so that name is no longer a contender, unless I want to be a bitch and announce that we decided to use Lucas last minute (I would never do that, but it's my favorite boy name). 

So, I am pretty sure our little guy will be Cameron Forrest (Forrest is H's late grandpa's name) but I can't 100% commit until I meet him. Or I can convince H to use his middle name as LO's middle name, I just prefer the sound of it better. Cameron John... 

crestedlady

No clue really what we will name our son....not surprised as we didn't make a final decision for our first until around 8 months.

MrsP419

We decided and shared…and SIL has monogrammed outfits in process :-).  It is easier that way for us.  I just had to reach point of no return or I was going to drive myself crazy.  But that is just me; I think there is nothing wrong with waiting to decide!

@ricecakes1216 Sorry, I totally understand. My sister said she was naming her last child Lucas if it was a boy and wanted that name so badly I crossed my fingers until the baby was born. Thankfully it was a girl and they were officially snipped and done before I had DS #1 so we could use it. I might have cried if she had a boy.

deedee830

Yup! Both his first and middle name have been chosen. We tossed a few around, some I liked, some DH didn't like and there was one that DS was vehemently opposed to. lol  But we finally settled and DS now uses the baby's name when talking about him rather than just "the baby".

I'm not surprised others may not have decided yet though. It's not the easiest thing to do.

ETA: We're going with Gabriel Alexander.

kks4471

We have a name in mind, but are not 100% sure about it. If we don't come up with anything better, the current name will be on the birth certificate. Such a hard decision!

owlcup

We haven't even seriously discussed names yet...

MissBHaven1024

Isaiah Cole was decided on back in December! Easiest name pick for us. With DD#2, we didn't commit to her name until the nurse walked in with the birth certificate papers.

temursgirl

We're completely unable to decide and yes it's very stressful! Only recently we finally narrowed it down to some names were both okay with... before that we weren't even looking at the same type of names (think Isabella vs. Piper). We call the baby "Little" + my NN. My NN is not related to my name, nor is it a name for humans, so we can't use that as a name.

MollySm

We decided on a first name right after we found out she was a girl, and then have been pretty set on a middle name. Now we've used them both for so long there's no going back - it's just her name. That way works best for me - I am indecisive, so I would freak myself out. This way it's just decided, and it would feel weird to call her something different. Her name is Viviana Mae.

JulieSmiles

We have not 100% committed to a name and even when we do, we are telling people we don't know. My family has all named her one thing and will be shocked if we go with anything else. DH wants to just to piss them off. I had someone at work ask the other day. When I said we didn't have a name, she said, "Julie, how can you not have a name picked yet?!!!" It's not like I'm naming a baby doll though, this is something she has to live with the rest of her life!

FutureMrsW9

We have two names picked and will make a final decision once we see baby's face and decide which name s/he looks like most.

gregsgurl81304

We have a name all picked out, and call baby by her first name. As for the middle name, well it has been picked but I recently I have decided I want to change it, but DH  says no.  FX and working really hard to try to get him on board with a different mn.

TonyaCody06

Team Green here! Girl is set. Husband has a top boy name but I haven't committed to it yet.

rastrau

We've got a first name, but can't decide on the middle! And DH won't even use the first name since we're keeping it on the down-low until birth and he's afraid to slip in public, so everyone just calls my bump Lil Rooster. In my fam it's a tradition to let nieces/nephews name the bump and they thought the 12wk ultrasound looked like a chicken (it did).

Glad we're having a boy though - he was essentially named from day 1! We had "short-listed" the girls' names before the anatomy scan to a mere 35 choices

ELC252011

Yes, we have the name picked out.

gmc222

We are toggling between 2 names (James Scott or Liam James) although we are both leaning towards Liam this week. We probably won't decide until closer to my due date.
