When did you decide on LO's name?

I would have made a clicky, but I don't know how! LOL

For me & DH, it was surprisingly easy... The name just came to us when I was about ten weeks along. We had girl and boy options, a boy would be named after DH and a girl would have DH's initials. We chose Anna as a first name, and Madeline as a middle name after my great-grandmother.

Re: When did you decide on LO's name?

  • Boy's name was chosen when DH and I were dating. Girl's first name was chosen after we found out we were expecting and the middle name probably right near the end of the first trimester. We didn't have any real problems deciding, the names just fit and felt right.

  • If we were having a girl it would have been easy because we 5 or 6 girls names we loved when we first got pregnant but we didn't decide on a boy's name until this week. We had the hardest time finding one we liked but now it seems so right :)

  • We had both a boy and girl name picked out since about a year after we got married (we've been married for 2 1/2) even though we talked about names since we were dating. But Gabriel Pierce just stuck! We love it! We call him Gabe :) I can't wait to see him!

  • SO has had our boy name picked out since before we even started dating, but we still looked at a ton, narrowed down our list, and ended up sticking with it. We choose Dupree because it's his middle name. If it would have been a girl we would have used Autumn because I've had it picked out since before we were dating as well. We hadn't decided on a middle name, but we were considering Autumn Isabella. We decided around 2nd tri for sure.

    Autumn is a great choice! Wink I wouldn't happen to be biased or anything... Haha.

  • We've had names picked out for a few years.  It took 2.5 years of TTC before getting our BFP but I had names picked before we ever really started trying.  If we were having a boy his name would have been Chandler James Andrew but my friends were just going to call him "Bing".

  • We haven't... We chose a FN years ago (seriously like 4-5 years) and it just stayed with us. We have yet to decide on a MN, though we have several we like.

    If we were having a boy, I am sure we'd still be discussing it. I found boys names to be very hard!

  • I still can't find a boy's name that fits. I thought I had a girl's name, but am now debating if I still like it as much.

  • We had names picked out before we got married. We always plan ahead. lol!
  • We had a boy's name picked at around 12w and a girl's name at around 20w.  Middle names are family names that we had already decided to use, we just needed first names.

  • We knew it would be a battle and decided to wait until we knew the gender to avoid half the fight.  We finally settled on Nora Michelle around 27-28 weeks along-ish.  Nora I've liked for a while and MH actually didn't like it at first and then acted like I had never mentioned it before.  Michelle after his godmother, my bff (that we got to go through our pregnancies together, she delivered almost 4 weeks ago), and his grandfather, Michael, whom passed away at Thanksgiving, but was so excited we were expecting and would cry and tell us how much he loved the name we picked out.

  • We decided at 20 weeks, when we found out we were having a girl.  We actually had a boy's name all picked out ready to go and had about 5 different options for a girl.  We were torn between two but I said I wanted to just pick one and stick with it, so Alice it was/is! 

    Luckily we can save the other girl's name and boy's name for future siblings :)

  • For the first name, um... last night?  Maybe, we are not sure. We have "decided" on a name a few times now. 

     We have had the middle name picked out for years though.

  • we still haven't.  We didn't decide 100% on DD's name until after she was born which is what we're planning on for this one, too.  I can't commit until I have to :)
