Un-named baby

atoz625 · May 2013

We've got time- I'll preface this post with that.

However, I feel like I'm constantly thinking of names, and occasionally throwing out the ones I really like, to DH. He seems to be shooting everything down! (We only ever settled on one name for DS#1, and now we find out it's another boy!)

Last night, we updated a shared list though with some great potential names that I never would have guessed to be his style, but that I do like myself! I finally feel like we're getting somewhere. A name just helps us bond and realize this is real (and will help me get nursery decor going, haha)

I imagine there are others that are in my boat? How are you keeping track of names? Do you each get to "veto" a selection?! Do you have a deadline set in your mind of needing a name by?

We have a name picked out but we have not been able to commit yet. We have chosen the name Morgan Joyce but for some reason I just cant fully commit to it. We are still looking at other names while we decide if our chosen name is "the one" we dont have set rules other than if one of us doesnt like it, it gets thrown out. I dont want LO to have a name I hate and I dont want her to have a name he hates either. Admittedly, I really hate choosing names because I find it very difficult! Good luck to you guys!

We're down to one girl, two boy, and one gender neutral name, we're te green. I figure we won't decide until baby gets here. We both like all the names and just can't decide so I figure we'll just wait to see what this little one looks like, deadline being when we have to fill out the birth certificate.

our deadline is before we leave the hospital with the baby

DH wanted the nickname Ally so we started with names that start with al and narrowed it down to Alyssa and Alayna and we're just waiting until she's born to pick one.

We have a master list going and will bring to the hospital with us. There are some favs and some I know we are over, but we are hoping we will feel the right name when we meet the baby!

We also are team green (woohoo) and have a girl's name, which we both really love. The boys name we've narrowed down to a solid middle name, and more like "maybe this, maybe that" for a first name.

My goal is to feel more settled with it well before our EDD. Knowing DH, he'll just blurt out whatever in the hospital room, and I'll end up with a child named "Cletus." lol

This is boy number 3 for me. The first one (Orion) we went back and forth on for about 3 months, kept throwing the name out. Finally at work one day, it just felt right. I got home from work and said that it, he's Orion.

Our second one (Oliver) we were down to the wire. I was told by my doctor (due to medical issues) that I was going in that day (4 weeks early), for my c/s. We were down to 3 names, Oliver, Theodore and Dexter. I told this kid he needed a name before we went in. I said Oliver and he started kicking like crazy. When I said Dexter or Theodore he wasn't moving at all. We took that as a sign that he like Oliver. He is Oliver Theodore.

This one has no name and we don't really have any ideas... We have a list going, mostly reject names from when Orion or Oliver were born, but nothing either of us love. I just keep emailing or texting him new name choices. DH says No or Maybe and I add them to my list. My deadline will be once my c/s is actually scheduled.

I like that idea- having a name when the CS is scheduled (I'll have an RCS, too). Love the name Oliver, BTW!

Logan was the main "do-able" name DH threw out tonight- he cracked me up by saying it was "a little more 'private school' than he would typically suggest" but hey, I like it, so at least we're getting somewhere!

we are in the same situation, we can't agree on any names. We finally agreed on 1 boy's name for DS and now we're team green for baby #2 so we're trying to think of more boys name (we've agree on girls names). every name that i like DH has vetoed and vice versa. I'm hoping soon we'll agree on something!
