I Think I Hate All Names...

in Baby Names

Possibly a side effect from hanging out on these boards, but I just went through a possible baby name list for the seven-hundredth time and I'm not "feeling" any of them. I used to imagine what it would be like to have a little girl named the things we're thinking but I can't anymore. Nothing seems right. DH is frustrated with me, because he thought we narrowed down our "short list" months ago, but I just can't stop comparing names and trying to start another conversation about it.

I want the name to be meaningful and it's difficult to imagine that there's a meaningful name out there that I somehow haven't come up with yet.

Anyone else having a difficult time? Am I just making things more difficult for myself by continuing the search? Should I back away from the baby name books and websites and trust my earlier judgment?

    I feel the same way. There isn't a girls' name that I 100% love. I thought it would be wonderful to name a girl, but it's impossible. I've taken a break from obsessing about it and hope it will give me a fresh perspective when I really start thinking about it again. Good luck to both of us!

    I'm right there with you ... and the clock is ticking!  I have been doing the same thing for awhile now, and sadly, have no amazing expert advice for you.  Sorry.  I tried to just back away from the never ending lists, etc. but it didn't work.  With DS we really didn't have this problem, but we now have somewhere around 10 days for me to stop hating every boy name on the planet ...

    I'm glad to know i"m not alone. Good luck, ladies. In a way I know I'm fortunate in that it's a girl, as my husband really truly does hate all boy names. I just made him sit down and brainstorm with me for another half an hour -- and surprise surprise, we came up with a half dozen alternatives, but nothing that knocked our top name from its perch. So if anything, it did remind me how much I like that name.

    Oh, and a possible new option for a middle name.

    yes me too!!

    I have already named 3 kids, so this one I am leaving up to my SO. He still hasnt decided on any names yet. I told him I dont "love" any names right now, but once he picks one I will learn to like it!!

    Disappointing, but it will all work out!!

    I feel the same way. We've agreed on a boys name just because my DH seems to really like it, and I don't love any names anyway. We thought we had a girls name, but I keep coming up with all these reasons why it's not right and talking myself out of it. I talk myself out of every name we come up with.
