Baby Names

My boy name conundrum

I am a planner. I like to have things prepped/planned/decided well in advance. Specifically, I would REALLY like to have a baby name before we go into labor. However, DH and I really can't agree on a top choice so I'm thinking it will be a meet-the-baby-and-see decision.

I'm forcing myself to be patient because I think that after I've just given birth I'll have the upper hand on deciding. ;) We mostly agree on names, but just have them in a different preferred order.

Our final list is Owen Anders, Wyatt Anders, Miles Elijah, Finn (MN undecided). 

Anyone else deliberately waiting to decide?

  • I love the name Finn or Phineas, but I couldn't talk my DH into it!  I like Owen a lot too.  By the way, I have 11 days until I'm due and we haven't completely decided.  We are team green too, so we have to have two names!

  • we purposely had two names picked out with DD1 and waited to meet her.  With our second we still couldn't agree and sat in the recovery room debating and I felt pressure to agree on a name... our family was patiently waiting and drs/nurses were throwing us suggestions.  If you like all those names you guys will figure it out in the end... that is more of a list than we had :)  don't stress...

  • We have a for sure girl name, but we're down to two for a boy name. And I don't think we'll ever agree until the baby is born.

    It does worry me. DH and I both like Noah Patrick and William Patrick, but my first choice is Will and his is Noah. I'm just afraid that one or both of us will get caught up in the moment and agree to a name we didn't really love. I want us both to be happy.

  • I like either Owen Anders or Wyatt Anders. Great middle name!!

  • I like Owen and Miles.......the others are NMS
  • I love all the names you have picked out.  I like Owen (just posted a clicky poll with Owen as a choice) and Miles the best.  With our first DS we did not have a name picked out until about 3 hours after he was born.  My DH wanted to meet him first. We plan on having a few names we like picked out and then most likely wait till we meet this LO before he gets a name too.  DH and I are just that way I guess.
  • On a side note, when I first read the title of your post...I thought you were using Conundrum as a name!  

    Don't know why that popped into my head when I read it...

    That's hilarious! People DO use some pretty crazy names!
