36 Weeks, 1 cm dilated, NEED NAME!! (Poll)

dreamsweetlee · September 2012

Went to doctor's and I'm 1 cm dilated. I was informed that I'm not making it to my due date...so I don't have 4 more weeks to think of a name ! Freaking out a little.. ANY NAME SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

I like : Sweet and Simple Names

Husband Likes: Unique and Different Names

We simply cannot find a name that we both adore and are running out of time!

[Poll]

To be honest, I like all those names! I am leaning more towards Paige Elizabeth and Emma Faith though. Good luck!!

AlyssaJoy1210 · September 2012

I voted for Emma Faith because I think it is a very sweet name and compliments your son's name well!

I like Ava the best but really dislike the name Rose. How about Ava Raquel or Ava Faith? I also do like Alaina Raquel. Good Luck

*middle names on my list for Ava are Penelope, Monroe & Jordyn. Just throwing that out there in case one cathches your eye*

Alaina Raquel, but I didn't notice your ticker.

I think Paige complements your son's name better. If Elizabeth is too tame for your H then I think Paige Raquel sounds nice too.

I voted for Alaina Raquel. My second choice for you would be Paige Elizabeth.

The other names are pretty, but frankly I am tired of seeing them.

Good luck!

I like Ava if the popularity doesn't bother you; Paige if it does.

Just so you know, though, dilation isn't a huge indicator of when you're going to go. Some women stay 1 cm dilated for weeks (or 2, or 3...It's not uncommon). Don't freak out just yet.

This! I was 1cm one week, 2 the next, 3 the next.

Definitely Paige Elizabeth. It's a beautiful name!

Also ditto PPs. The fact that you are 1cm dilated is really no indicator that you will or won't make it to your due date. (That's why I opted out of any internal checks until I went into labor. They really don't tell you anything. You can be 1cm for weeks or not be dilated at all and go into labor later that day.)

Stay calm and good luck! Everything will be fine!

I voted for Paige Elizabeth. But I like all of your names.

One of our rules is to stay out of the top 10 names. We want ours to be common enough but also don't want them to end up in a class with 10 other kids with the same name like we did when we were in school.

I avoided Madison, Ava and Emma because they were both in the top 10 baby names last year according to the social security website.

That was a little long winded..... sorry

ChevyFam717 · September 2012

Love Paige and Emma but all of the names are nice. Ava is really popular right now also...

Just wanted to add that I understand your panic, but to piggyback onto PPs comments, I was 1 cm and 50% effaced at 33 weeks (I was having contractions at 5 minute intervals, so they did an internal) and DD was born just shy of 39 weeks. My doctor said I wouldn't make it to 35 weeks-- so they don't always know everything Wink

Salt, did you use Bradley/go natural? We're doing Bradley this time, and opting out of internals seems to be a common thing with that method.

I like Ava Rose the best, but the popularity of Ava is too much for me. Have you considered Eva? It's in the top 100, but not the top 10 like Ava.

I think Paige fits your criteria well. It's really sweet, but you don't hear it too often so it's different but not out there! Paige Elizabeth is a really nice name.
