Picking out a name

Roses87 · October 2013

So I am bored. I don't think this poll has been done yet. Do you already have a name picked out for LO. For team greeners do you have one boys name and one girls name picked out. Or are you like me and you have a handful of names and want to see LO first

We have a name and there is absolutely no way we are changing it now because things have been monogrammed

SandFHasse · October 2013

We chose one and now DH thinks its too popular and wants to look at other names. We have his middle picked out though.

OSUWifey09 · October 2013

We have a first name and are still debating a middle [we really need to pick one]. But I still refer to the baby as Baby Sweet Pea [her nickname from the very beginning] and not by her first name, Mia.

We chose a name and my mother decided to announce it to everyone on FB. Thanks mom. X(

Ninjafarmerswife · October 2013

We are inbetween the having a few picked out and deciding at the hospital (that's the plan at least) and the what we have to name this guy?! choices since I've got my list narrowed down to 4 or 5 but DH isn't feeling the urgency to narrow down our choices.

I chose SS. We are team green. We have our boys name set and have had it set since pregnancy #1. We have two girls names picked, but I'm starting to not like one of them and we may have to go back to the drawing board. I know if it's a girl, it's going to be decision that's made after we meet her!

goldenB · October 2013

Team Green here, we have our girl name picked out but no dice on a boy name.

We refer to LO as 'baby'.

mrskratt · October 2013

We cannot agree on a name for the life of us!

peanutmuse · October 2013

I chose SS -- we have a name, but we have not been calling him by the name. It just doesn't feel right to do that yet, and I honestly probably won't until he is born.

Summer889 · October 2013

Our plan is to have one boy name and one girl name picked out. But right now, we're no where close to making a decision. We did finally check out some baby name books from the library this weekend, so that's a start, right?

km_md · October 2013

We have a short list of names, but we can't seem to agree on which one is "the one". I am a planner and really thought that I'd have the name chosen long before baby was born but now I'm afraid that she is going to come and we still won't have a name for her. There is nothing wrong with deciding in the hospital but I'm afraid of the pressure and don't want her to have to go very long without a name.

holly142 · October 2013

We have 3 girl first names picked out. One of the names we know which middle name we will use with it. The other 2 names we aren't sure about the middle names for.

I would love to decide before the baby is born so I can have her name up on the wall. Also, is it going to be easier to decide once she is here?

moosebaby2011 · October 2013

SS: We're team green, and fairly set on our boy's name but still completely undecided for a girl's name.

I would be livid! Even if we had a name picked out I wouldn't be sharing them. My mom has a big mouth too, the whole world would know.

HeartOverMind · October 2013

We have her name ready to go, but I picked SS because DH doesn't love the first name. He doesn't want to use the name before she is born; he said he wants to love the person first so that way it will be easier for him to "get used" to her name. He's such a baby, but I'm not backing down with my name pick. He picked the middle name, and if we have a boy he has dibs on the first name for a son. I got the girl name pick!

sugarland726 · October 2013

Boy and girl names are locked and loaded for first and middle names. However, team green so this baby continues to be called Baby Cow.

This is me exactly. MH will use her name sometimes but I just can't yet. He reminded me that I did the same thing when I was pregnant last time.

valigrl21 · October 2013

With DD #1, we had a nickname for her throughout my whole pregnancy that we called her. And then for her real name, we picked a few names we liked, assigned them to time slots throughout the day, whatever time she was born, that was the name she got. It worked out perfectly, I love her name and it really fits her. So we are doing the same thing this time around.

FSUNole31 · October 2013

We have two names right now, but we can't decide. It is driving me a bit crazy because with our son he was already named by this point. I keep saying this poor baby just isn't going to have a name.

SweetPeaKate · October 2013

I picked that we have a few names picked out, but really we can't seem to get any further.

We have one boy name, but no middle name for it. And two girl names (same middle) that we can't decide between. We are both 50/50 on them.

mrsjenni · October 2013

We have a name for baby girl. I'm the type of person that needs to have a name settled as soon as humanly possible for my own sanity. I could never wait until birth to name the baby either. Which is kinda crazy considering that I had absolutely no problem being team green with baby #3! For him, we had 1 boy name and 1 girl name ready to go for birth as well (and we're actually using that girl name for this baby.)

SarahA918 · October 2013

I'm team green and I'm pretty sure I have my girl name picked out even though my mom hates it! I have a few boy names I'm considering, but nothing I'm in love with and sure about. I do have middle name set if it's a boy, though, so that's half the battle!

KristaBelieve · October 2013

We've had our name ready for 8 years and we still love it! We call him by a nickname we made up since we got our BFP and sometimes call him by his "real" name.

SunflowersBride · October 2013

We are pretty much down to two contenders, but DH doesn't want to commit yet in case something else comes up that he really likes (although we really haven't spent much time discussing names recently, but whatever).

I'm another in this category. Plus, my DH sometimes wavers about his certainty that its the right name so I don't want to start calling the baby by a name until we are 100% certain.

barnowl0901 · October 2013

We had a boy and a girl name picked out before we even knew the gender. Happy to be able to call her by name now that we know. It's helped us get that much closer, and is making it a lot more real for not only us, but our families too.

ChuggingWater · October 2013

I miss calling the baby hotdog.

tahloulah10 · October 2013

We've had her name picked out for about 10 weeks now. We call her by name most of the time, but it is really weird to hear my parents call her by name.

susieandmarty · October 2013

Dh won't talk seriously yet. Even when j remind him that this kid will be here in 13 some odd weeks. It's incredibly frustrating

jldubb0626 · October 2013

We've been calling this LO Logan since we settled on the name.

Rebis58 · October 2013

We're team green and I picked the option about having a boy and girl name picked out. We definitely have our girl name set in stone, and are probably 99% set on our boy name, but have a second choice boy name that has been growing on both of us, so there's a small chance we'll switch in the hospital. We'll see

Arrgcr · October 2013

My husband pulled her name pretty much out of his butt. Before we found out what we were having we had a boy name and a girl name.

BuckeyeANG · October 2013

We call him by his name. We were team green with DS1 and he was called Nugget by everyone up until birth (and sometimes once in awhile after birth when we would slip up).
