Anyone 30+ weeks preg and not even have a list?

MyColonyNJ

Then welcome to my club.

For my daughter, we did not pick her name until I was 37 weeks preg, and then had her 3 days later.  But, i know that we at least had a list of sorts by this time (I am 31W)

I have suggested a few names to my husband, of which he hated all of them.  he has not given one suggestion.

I gave him a "deadline" of Aug 31, telling him that he had to give me SOMETHING.

And, since we do not know what we are having, we need 2 names, well 4 - since we would need middle names as well.

UGH

Hi Amy!

So you are not doing a jr. if it's a boy?  I thought I had seen you post that your DH really wanted a jr...did you nix that idea?

Well, he IS a Jr, and really wants to do a III, I am just not 100% on board with that.  It would be Frank Arthur N the III......It is a mouthful, if you ask me.  And, Arthur is is horrible.

We may still go this way, who knows.  I find it the most annoying that is is pretty adament about Frank the 3rd, but yet shoots down every girl name.

what's your style? do you like popular names? trendy names? classic names? feminine/masculine names? i know you said you don't have a list, but give us an idea about what you like. right now, i'd be taking a shot in the dark. there is a post below about naming style ;-) it gives great suggestions.

Your DD is adorable by the way, simply adorable

Thanks for the compliment, we think she is cute too.

Anyway, I personally like unpopular older names for girls; and unpopular names for boys.  Neither being "weird"

My (bio) kids are Colin and Cora - the double "C" was not on purpose and will be avoiding a C name this time around.  Colin is a teenager, so this name was NOT popular at all 16 years ago.  Cora was found on the 1901 SS# list, plus it is unique without being weird.

Our last name is 4 syllables, so I guess super long names are out too.

To give you an idea, here are some of the names that made it to the list for my daughter:

Adele, Evelyn (her middle name), Estelle, Aubrey, & Sylvia

I will have to check out that other post, thanks

GL, let me know what you think!

Wow, we really DO have the same taste in names.  a lot of these name have been on my (pretend) list for this baby.  Some I have not presented to my husband, some I have.

too funny how perfect strangers have very similar thoughts on names.  I bolded the ones that I am hoping make it to "the list"

Thanks for the suggestions.  Here are some that I liked, but my husband said no to:

Hazel, Meredith, Elise, Elsie, Piper, Opal, Florence (Florie), Dorothy, Mallory, Violet, Eloise, Gretchen, Bridget
