We have looked through 2 books, dozens of online websites and even had suggestions from friends and cannot agree. Originally we were going to go wtih a Swedish name (DH is from there) but I don't like a lot of Swedish boys' names (Linus, Isak). DH is shooting down all my traditional names. The only name we can agree on is Damien, but it reminds everyone from the devil child in the Omen. We are stuck and hoping that when he comes, he looks like a certain name so we aren't fumbling through baby name books in the hospital just to fill out a birth certificate.
Anyone else?
Re: Anyone NOT picked a name yet?
Before Dh and i found out what we were having we had both our boy and girl names picked out.. Girl is Madison.. our boy names we had two that we liked Evan and Mason.

We haven't decided yet, well I should say I haven't decided yet. My DH has a few that he says he is fine with, but they haven't grown on me yet. Everytime I hear him say them I don't like them any more.
He likes Kaylin Nicole or Brooke Elizabeth, we both kind of like Anna Marie. I don't know and it's frustrating me, mainly because he is kind of pushing me. He feels he can't talk to her until she has a name (he has talked to her, but he feels really wierd not knowing what to call her).
I told him it might come down to seeing her after she is born and then decide what "she looks like". But he keeps telling me, she's not a dog and all babies look alike. I think he will see things differently when she does get here.
We're going to name her after she's born -- we did that with our first. He was born at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday and we didn't agree on a name until 4 p.m. Wednesday. (The nurses thought we were nuts.)
We just have a really hard time finding names we both like. Basically, we'll wind up with a list of four or five times neither of us hates and see which one fits her best in person.
Well, we have picked a first name for her already, but I am still deciding if we are giving her a middle name (DH seems to just have settled with that one), and if we are, which one. I keep trying to look for middle names that will go with it, but nothing I like. So, technically, I don't know if we have her whole name already. If I can't find a middle name by the time she is born, she'll just have a first name.

DH and I have hardly even discussed it. I pretty much have a non-negotiable girl's first name picked out (Maya) but am open to letting DH pick a middle name. Boy's names are tough. Every now and then, out of the blue, DH will throw a boy's name at me- and they all suck! His last suggestion was Tommy- not a nickname but Tommy as full name (not short for anything). I feel bad but since he catches me off guard I usually laugh at his choices (he sprung Tommy on me in the middle of Target last week).
There's still plenty of time
we know there's no rush to chose a name that we don't both just love!
We have used Nymbler and have a great list of about 20 boy names we like a lot but have yet to sit down and actually choose something.

We haven't picked a name. We had waited until the anatomy scan to even begin to discuss names. Now that we know we're having a girl, we still haven't had the discussion.
So we decided that we're each going to make a Top 10 list and we're going to pick a name and a back-up from there.
we're team green and have zero names picked out...
I do have a preference for a girl's middle name if DH won't go for it being the first name...but that's about it.
We can't agree on anything. We have a couple that we both say we don't hate but neither of us is in love with a name. I want her middle name to be a family name so I think I have that picked out. We didn't decide on DS's name until he was born but I'm hoping we can choose DD's name earlier. We've been through 3 books and several websites and still don't have anything. I think it makes it a little harder that we're both teachers (this is his 10th year and my 5th). That usually narrows down the choices for us some. ;o)
Good luck!
We have done the same. And have 1 on the list! LOL!
Naming a second boy is hard as we used the name we loved.
We like to have 2 names and choose when we see baby, so we have to defiantly find one more!
We had finally decided on a boy name..... when we found out it's a girl!
Middle name is picked b/c of family tradition-- oldest girl's middle name is always Marie or Maria (mine is too).
First name we have a list of six:
Sadie
Robyn
Cameron/Cameryn
Julia
Auden
Riley
My favorite is Julia (I've had the Beatles song stuck in my head the whole pregnancy) but DH doesn't like it with Marie or Maria.
DH's favorite is Cameron/Cameryn- his mother's maiden name, but call me crazy, I am not anxious to name the baby after someone who gave me a speech about how much she hates little girls when we were first dating. She hasn't exactly shown much interest in the pregnancy so far either.
The others we both like, but of course in opposite order of preference from each other
