3rd Trimester

When did you have names picked out?

Should I be worried that DH and I still haven't come up with names? I've tried making lists but it seems like it gets us nowhere. We just can't seem to agree. I would really like to figure something out at least before we go to the hospital (still have 7 weeks until my EDD). When did you and your DH decide on a name or names?

    We've narrowed it down to 5, with 2 of them in the lead right now ...

  • We knew at our BIG ultrasound the first names of either gender, but we finally just picked a middle name last week.
  • It must have been about two months ago...boy names are hard for us to decide and one day it just popped up and we just played with it for a while. It grew on us and it's now a keeper. We're not sharing with friends and family until he's born.

  • I figured we would be in the hospital with no name but we actually decided on a name about 3 months ago! We just haven't told anyone what it is. GL trying to decide, it is soo hard!

  • Any day now lol....we have a few in mind but plan to wait until the birth to decide...
  • We've had a few names picked out since before we even got married haha.  We officially decided on one name for each sex around 8 weeks.

  • We just have a short list. My grandmother says 'they bring their names with them' so we are just going in with a couple options.
  • My two names have been on the top of my list since before I was even pregnant.  DH loves the girl's name we've picked. The boy's name took a little more persuasion.

    We landed on names early... we were able to tell people the name after our gender u/s. We haven't changed our minds either.

  • We still need to pick a middle name, but I think we were decided on the first about 2 months ago.

  • we had them picked out before we knew what we were having (found out at 22 weeks).
  • We picked out our name about 3 weeks ago. It was tough. DH wanted certain names and I wanted others.
  • I'm just crazy and had them picked out before I found out I was pregnant.  I just had to get DH to agree, and lucky for me he did.
  • We just decided on a name a few days ago! You still have plenty of time.

  • We've had a horrible time agreeing on names. ?I will have my c/s next week without a name picked out. ?About 3 weeks ago, we came up with a list of 4 names and we'll choose one of those after we meet our little girl.

  • DH and I are planners, and we had been TTC for a while, so we actually had names picked out even before we found out we were PG.  Stick out tongue

    We chose our name around 20 wks. 

    I found the name, suggested it to MH, he loved it too = done deal.  It was much easier that I thought.

  • One of our contenders we've had for almost 10 years. DH has loved it since he was a kid, so it's been in his head for probably a good 15+ years. The other major contender we came up with a few months ago, but actually decided to keep "on the list" a few weeks ago.?

    We had our name for a boy picked out before we got pg; we were still trying to decide between 2 names for a girl when we had our u/s.

  • Since we are team green- we have 3 girl names

    Boys I think we have like 6, I would love to narrow it down.

    However when we talk about or to the baby we only use one girl name and one boy name. But I want to see the baby before picking the name.We do have the middle name picked out for either.

  • We had the names picked out before we were even engaged

  • We decided on our boy name the night after we found out I was PG. Thankfully it is a boy, because we couldn't agree on a girl name. I loved the names that he liked, but none of them seemed to "fit". Now I know why!!
