For reals! Why is it that every freaking name both my DH and myself like seem to be so dang popular all of a sudden??? I want to make a decision soon so I can stop referring to the baby as baby and give him a name, but jeesh, I just don't like that many boy names. Plus, I want it to sound good with Hudson and not sound too baby-ish AND of course it must sound good with our last name. Nothing too rhymey or anything like that unless I want my child's name to sound like a wrestler or something, lol!
It was NOT this difficult last time and now I am stumbling over finding another boy name I love.
Re: Baby names are going to be the death of me.....
Coming up with names was really hard for us as well. We never did finalize a name until we actually saw him. We just could not agree and nothing seemed to stick. We just called him Baby Coach the entire pg.
I agree boys names are so much harder to find.
Good luck!
We can't have a boy b/c the only name we could agree on was Charles (Charlie) and that is the masculine form of Caroline. I know next to no one knows that, but I would, and it would bug me.
So that I don't have this same problem, I've got a baby names list going for when we conceive the next time haha... sure, that's 3 years away or so, but hey... you can never be too prepared
Tell us some names and maybe we can help!
DH and I decided we wanted a Scottish name, so found a bunch we liked - most with the "K" sound...I've always liked it, maybe I'm odd? took the list to the hospital and finally named DS 1.5 hours after he was born.
I had one that wasn't Scottish - I was actually pretty set on the name Christopher, but DH wouldn't agree to it. When I looked at DS, I didn't have that moment where I knew his name. However, I did look at him and say, "you are definitely NOT a Christopher."
this is exactly how i feel. we are having such a hard time deciding on a name for our baby girl. i feel like boy's names are so much easier but i'm sure that's b/c we are trying to pick girls names right now

you've got my sympathies! it's the best worst problem ever.
my DH was adamant that we not tell people ANY of the names on our lists. he was sure we'd get jinxed and they'd get used by friends or family before we had a chance to stake our claim. it does seem like all the unusual names we've always loved are now just absolutely everywhere.
good luck!
I knew exactly what I was going to name mine as soon as I found out!! I'll be 14 wks on tuesday.
Are you looking for H names? I think Holden, Hayden, & Hunter are adorable boy names.
Harper is so cute!! I would have never thought of naming a girl that.
