How Soon Did You All Start Discussing Names

in Baby Names
Hi All --
I'm still in my first trimester. I've been thinking about names, but haven't really started discussing them w/my husband.
I'm just curious, when did you all start tossing around names to begin coming up with final choices?

Re: How Soon Did You All Start Discussing Names
I started coming up with names as soon as I found out. DH didn't really want to talk about names until later in the second tri. I don't remember when we decided but it was one of the first names DH came up with.
Same here, though the list has changed quite a bit over the years.
When I was 12 "dating" my first "boyfriend." lol I made him vote on names for all our future kids.
I'm not even pg and I lurk here and DH have been discussing names since before we got married.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
Same here. DH and I have always discussed them. Unfortunately, I sold him on a name that I used to love and now he won't consider any other girl names.

We started talking names long before we started TTC. We got serious not long after I got pregnant with #1. We both loved our girl name right away, but we were team green and didn't finalize his first name until about 38 weeks and we didn't choose his middle name until a few hours after he was born.
With #2, we still love the same girl name and we have already started talking about boy names again. I think we will find out the sex of the baby this time, but who knows how long it will take to actually decide.

I'll hold you in my heart until I hold you in heaven.
With my 1st we had the names picked by like week 7.
My 2nd we knew before I even got KU.
This one we started around 14 weeks.

Yep, this. We liked Everett for years and that is what we named our DS. Girls names are going to be a bit harder. I wasn't completely sold on what we would have named a daughter, and I think we'll have to discuss a little more with another child.

This was us too. DS's name was chosen two years before he was even conceived. We're not going to start trying again for at least six months, but I still ask his opinions on names all the time. We want four kids, so I like to have a good short list of both boys' and girls' names that we both agree on at all times. My current long lists are about 40-50 names for each...DH likes maybe 4-5 from each list.
Toyed around while we were dating. Serious discussion while TTC.
DD2's name was chosen when DD1 was about 4 months old, about 10 months before conception. This time around our boy/girl choices have been fairly solid for sometime.
This. Although by the time we had DS we had changed the names we liked a ton of times.
First kid - The minute we saw two lines on the pee stick.
Second kid - Once we found out the gender. We each contemplated names separately before that, but wanted to delay the inevitable naming battle until we knew whether we needed a boy or girl name. We will do it this way next time, as well.
This.

We've discussed it on and off in the past, but only prior to getting pregnant.
We recently bought a whiteboard to use for brainstorming--we can both write names on it, and look at each other's additions, but no commenting. We'll probably start actively discussing after we find out the sex in another 6 weeks.
