For those who know their LO's name...

Ok so I am about 99% sure that our LO will be named Ethan...I am planning on getting a photo that spells out his name with things that look like letters (i.e. a tree branch that looks like an 'E').

I can't think of naming him anything else, but want to leave that 1% that when he is born I look at him and go "oh he is not an Ethan).

We don't currently have anything with his name or initials on it, but I was hoping to get the name picture before he is born to finish off the nursery (decor anyway).

What do you ladies think...should I chance it and order the name picture and if we change his name, just change the picture (this would be more $$).

    I wouldn't do it unless you're 100% set on that name, it's just a decoration so it's not like it can't wait.

    I'd also wait... We have our little girl's name picked out, but there is always that chance we may look at her and think she should be named something else!

    IPhone fail!

    Anyway, as I was saying, if you are just getting his first name personalized and really want to have things in order before he arrives, you can always sell on craigslist or somewhere if you do change the name.

    I've had 2 names this whole pregnancy but then just leaned towards one this week and did the letter thing above her crib. I figured if it changes, I'll fix it, but it's not a huge deal to me. It was more important for me to get it done now rather than when she comes.

    You should do it.

    For me, seeing my son's name printed out before he was born helped me really "know" that we had chosen a name that we loved, and were even more excited to meet him.

     It could totally push it to 100%?

    My friend always tells the story of how she got her name. Her mom had "Victoria" picked out the whole time, and had everything decorated as such. But she looked at her and knew it was wrong. She ended up as a "Vanessa" instead!

     Don't do it unless you are 100%!

    I would wait.

    With DS, we thought we were sure about his name.  At 38 weeks we came across another name that both DH and I fell in love with. We waffled over the two names and finally decided when DS was 2 days old...we ended up going with the newer name and are so glad we changed our minds.  The original name didn't even make it to our list for DS2.

    I would be lying though, if I said that I didn't buy letters this time around for DS2's potential name....  They are inexpensive though. :)

    I would just order the picture after LO arrives. LO certainly wont know it's not there yet, and it can wait. 

    With DS, DH and I were totally 99% sure of his name ahead of time, but when he was born we both had that moment where we realized we couldn't use that name. It was totally unexpected, so I'm definitely in favor of just waiting until you know for sure.
