Anyone else have no idea what you're naming baby??

beck8008 · April 2012

We are totally stumped. we have yet to come across a name we like, let alone love. I'm nervous that we're gonna just have to settle on a name we can live with. It seems like everyone has had their names picked out for months... is anyone else in the same boat as me?? I've been through every book and every website and just can't find anything.... right now we have one name that we may be able to live with, but I'm sure hoping something magical comes our way soon...

We're team green so it's even harder (I think). We have 3 boys names. 1 I love and 1 DH loves and 1 we are both okay with but not one we both agree is 'the one'. We only have 1 girls name. DH loves it, I'm okay with it but I'm desperately trying to find another name as an option. DH shoots everything down (b/c in his mind, he's decided!) so it's getting frustrating. It was one thing to be debating it at 15 weeks but things are getting serious here! I feel your pain!

Care to share you ideas? Maybe we can help? I like www.nymbler.com (although I'm sure you've already looked there). Good luck!

We also have no idea. Dh is SO picky. He has a list of names that he reads to baby, hoping baby will kick during one of them. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. We also have a back-up family name, but I would love to find one that we're really solid on. I've resigned myself to not knowing until we meet him.

we don't even have a list- it's terrible- the only name that we are kind of ok with is one that everyone hates... but for some reason i've always liked it. DH had never heard it before i mentioned it so he likes it because it's kinda unique... It's Braeden... yeah yeah yeah, i know... last night i even when thru the top 1000 names on the SSA website, nymbler, nameberry, namenerd, behindthename, etc... it's getting frusterating

there are some great names out there- but none of them seem to be for us yet

We have a few favorites, but we're not deciding for sure until LO is born.

DH looked over my shoulder and said "Tell her that the Chinese don't decide until 30 days after the baby is born."

haha! well, we might be following the Chinese tradition then

amberleeb · April 2012

We are no where close do deciding! I have a list I really like. DH has one name he likes and that is where we are stuck. We have no idea on any ideas on the middle name.

I like Lydia, Greta, Sofia

DH likes Mara

We have three girls names and one boy name. At this point, I don't even know if we have preferences. We're Team Green and won't decide on a name until Roo is here.

No name here either.

I am in the same boat. Since I named DS' first name and he the middle name, we are switching with LO. However, he is just so picky with my suggestions. Grrr. I am just tired of calling her baby girl. lol

*raises hand*

I feel so far behind with this. For our son we came up with a name that just seemed to fit right away (didn't agree on mn until L&D though). But with this one nothing is standing out. We have 2 solid boys names that we can pick from but the girl names are all over the place and we can't seem to agree on any.

Team green here also. If it comes out a girl, we are all set. If it's a boy I'm hoping we come up with something before we leave the hospital.

blonde2002 · April 2012

No name here. I feel like we are ready otherwise, but agreeing on a name has been awful. We finally think of one and then we think of all the bad things/people that we associate with that name. Glad we aren't alone!

jc0n15 · April 2012

I am so glad that we aren't alone. I am starting to freak out because we don't even have suggestions let alone a definite name. My last appointment I already got the forms for the birth certificate, we can't leave the hospital until we pick a name. That might be the only reason I would hope for a C-sections...so we have more time to name this kid.

I'm almost in tears over this right now. It's good to know there are others out there in the same boat. We are team green and I have suggested MANY names but DH doesn't like anything. We have a possible girl's name but I'm not 100% sure since it doesn't go with the middle name that I really want (family name). DH has suggestested two boys names and I lothe them. I've suggested 20+ boys names and he won't even talk about them.

Ditto! It's getting to be a little ridiculous.... I keep thinking 'once we see her, we'll know' but I'm not so sure it will be that easy!

aliloulou · April 2012

To whoever suggested Nymbler, I'm trying that out now.

But we are having a hard time with names and I know I'm the cause of most of it. I am very picky on how the name sounds with our last name and how it will go with DS's name so it's mainly my fault but DH rejects just as many as I reject.

I think this will be a delivery room decision at the rate we are going.
