2nd time or more moms - Names ?
We didn't find out for #1 and will not for #2. We always had 2 solid girl names for #1. We had a bunch for a boy, but we were never sure. We still talk about how if we had a boy we really would not have known what to name him. ha ha
Easily we will pick our 2nd choice for a girl, if we have a girl again.
For a boy.. we are so confused. I feel like I dislike our 3 names that we had, which is funny because if our daughter was a boy, we would have used one of those names that I now dislike! ha
Did this happen to you? Are you automatically using your back up names for #2 or are you starting all over?

Re: 2nd time or more moms - Names ?
We recycle names here! We didn't find out with #1 either so we had a boy and girl name picked out. #1 was a boy so we recycled the girl name for #2. Since we didn't find out with her either we had a boy name as well. We will recycle that boy name for #3 and find a new girl name.
We both come from really big families so when we find names that we like we reuse them!
We did find out with DS and will find out with this one too. It was a good thing we did because we had two girl names picked out and it took us forever to come up with a boy name we could agree on. We would have been at the hospital for weeks lol.
We are actually using our 2nd choice girl name from last time as our top pick. Selene. Cora would have been DS's name but it just doesn't feel right this time. Our boy name this time is Logan.
My daughter is Carly. I think if we have another it will be Brooke.
So lost for a boy's name.... today Benjamin popped in my head. Who knows though!?
I'm not sure I like the girl name we had picked for DS anymore (Maia/Maya), so it's not really on my radar. IDK, maybe it will make a reappearance. I'm having a terrible time coming up with girl names that I like. I think DH has vetoed my top pick (Claire...he says it's a "fat girl name" because of some reference to The Breakfast Club movie
) He has suggested a couple (Stella & Shay) but I'm just not crazy about them. I have a strong feeling this is a girl, too, so names are kind of stressing me out.
If LO is a boy, my top choices are Lucas/Luke and Logan. I'm not sure how DH feels about these. We haven't discussed boy names at all this time around. Both of these were on my list for DS.
DH and I couldn't agree on a boys name...so when we found out DD was a girl, we stopped trying. We both immediately fell in love with the name Brinley when we came across it and didn't have a second name picked out.
So...I guess we're starting from scratch because we have no back-up names. :-)
Carly is our girl name! I love it!!!!
I am hoping baby bean is a Carly this time!
Maya is on our list for girl names this time around (wasn't on our list last time). Logan was on our list last time and we aren't as sure about it this time. Luke is now on our list. Guess we like the same names you do!
Yeah for Carly.
What's your son's name? We are clueless for boy's names...maybe I'll steal it 
DS is Blake, but our boy name for this time is Carter....we were going to do Carter last time, but if we had a girl this time Carter/Carly was to matchy-matchy for me, so we went with Blake and will do either Carly or Carter this time.
We knew Delilah was going to be a girl, and didn't have a "backup" name. Delilah was the only name for us.
So this time, we are starting over fresh. DH wants to use the first initial "S", as in Jewish tradition you use the first initial of a late relative to honor them, and Sara was his grandmother. We don't have any S girls names, and 1 S boy name.
DMoney will be a kickass big sister
