We struggled with names for a while and decided to "try on" some to help narrow it down. Our one top choice, we ended up not liking after using it for about a week. So we ended up resurrecting a name that had been on our list early on but took off due to popularity and we've been trying it out for about a week now and we both actually like it, so I think we're close to officially calling it.
Thank you, @cait5413 for the advice! We're leaning pretty strongly towards using it for a middle name and using the name that my husband likes for the first name. I really do appreciate the help--it's nice to get some advice from outside of the family--thank you!
Due at the beginning of August and still no name... We maybe have a short list, but nothing that seems just right. My biggest issue is that the name that we both have liked for a girl for a long time is now very popular. It was not at all common previously, of course. I can't decide if I'm ok with using it anyway or picking something else. Although I feel like we're running out of time!
When we had our son, we had a list of 6 names that we took to the hospital. We eliminated 4 right away, and then spent the next two days calling him by the other two to see which one fit best. I was seriously stressed about this at the hospital, so I was hoping to have something solid early this time.
Not to worry this exact thing happened to my cousin. They had a name picked out already and once they saw the baby a name came to them that they hadn't even mentioned before!
For us we have a list of top 5 girls and boys names and once the baby arrive's we will be able to see what name if any of them fit our baby
