I'm due in 10 days and I don't know what we're going to call LO! I'm not sure if it' because this is my 3rd LO or what, but I haven't even really been thinking of names! Before we knew we were having a boy we talked about names a lot and settled on a great girls name. After we found out LO was a boy we kind of stopped talking about it. There's one name, Oscar, that DH really likes and has sort of settled on. I like the name just fine, I'm just not sure it's the right name for my LO, kwim? We finished our baptism prep class the other night and they talked about the importance of the priest asking us what name we've given our child. I sat there thinking I dont know if I could say his name is Oscar, and I've been thinking/worrying about it since! I told DH he'll either just have to LOOK like an Oscar and it will feel right, or we'll both have to be struck with divine inspiration once he's born, b/c otherwise I don't know what we'll do!
FWIW, with DS and DD we had a much easier time agreeing on names, picking a top 3 list, and naming LO (though we did wait until we met them before settling 100%), so this is so weird for me.
Anyone else in a similar boat?
Re: Any other June mamas without a name for LO?
My c-section is scheduled for next Thursday the 7th, and we have a list of about 10 names, but nothing set in stone. I guess we'll know on the 7th.
FWIW Oscar is the name of one of my brothers and he likes that it's not super common. It's a family name.
This is where we are too. We have 2 girl names and 2 boy names, but aren't sure about a middle name for one of them. We'll have to wait and meet baby to see.
