Baby #2 will have no name

Hummingbirdbaby3 · August 2014

Yes, it's way early. But we have started talking about names because it's fun! Well, it was supposed to be fun anyways. With DS we had the name before I was even pregnant. No muss no fuss. Now we kind of have a boy name. If this poor child is a girl though, she may have no name! Haha. We cannot agree on a name to save our lives! My favorite name is Vivienne. I love love love it and really can't wrap my mind around anything else. DH loves Grace. Now, I do love the name as well, my Grandmother was Grace and she was simply amazing and has a strong presence in our family all these years after her death. But I just don't feel like that is our daughters name(if we even have one)... Is that weird? Anyway, we can't agree and I get so frustrated that we can only talk about it for a few minutes without going around in circles. Anyone else having trouble?

How about Vivienne Grace? That could be a suggestion to use both names, one as a middle. Anyway, I have been thinking about names since I found out I was pregnant. My husband came up with our DD name so I told him I get to choose this one. He keeps coming up with names and I just say nope! Good luck with figuring it out!

My H wants a jr if its a boy. I say no.

So if this baby is a boy he will be nameless too.

Not at all weird. DH and I had a terrible time coming to terms with our son's name before he was born, even though we had agreed to names before I was pregnant. My hormones must have kicked in because I seriously fought him tooth and nail over what his name would be. We did eventually come to terms, and our son never went nameless

I really like Vivienne Grace. If I have a girl this go round Grace will be a part of her name.

Maybe you guys will have that moment when you see the baby for the first time and just know both that -certain name- is meant to be their name

Hubby and I decided on a boys name already (Maximus Michael) but we couldn't agree on a girls name. We just went through a list reading off the names we liked and we said the girls name (McKenna) at the same time and knew lol her middle name will be Elizabeth (if we have a girl that is lol)

We have only agreed on a first name for a girl. He wants to name a boy Robert Enon. Enon is his granddad who died in January and Robert (said like a pig call) is what his granddad called him (however his name is Grant. Idk why his granddad called him Robert). I don't like Robert. I told him it could be a middle name but he's stuck on it. I do like the sentiment behind it though.

My daughter was easy to name too. We had a boy and a girl name picked out pretty much when I found out I was pregnant. With this baby we have a boy name. It is the boy name we had picked out if our daughter was a boy. Girl names though this time around will be a bit harder. He vetoed a lot of the girl names on my list the first time around.

We have the boy's name locked and loaded. Girl is up in the air with a few options....

We've had names picked out for years but only assuming we had a boy and a girl. If we have 2 girls we're screwed because there's only one girl name we both like!! Lol

We haven't even discussed yet.

My DH and I began discussing names in depth when I was about 11 weeks along with my son. We actually spent a majority of our car ride to Florida (from New Jersey) discussing and we ended up agreeing on a girl name but not a boy name. The one I loved, he hated. He didn't come around until the day we found out it was a boy. On the way out of the office he said "Ok, Corbin it is" and we went with one of his name choices for the middle name (which he ended up deciding to change as I was in labor).

Point is, you still have a while and DH (or you) may come around and be able to agree on a name or at least compromise with a first/middle combination.

Good luck!

Sounds like you are pregnant with a boy then

LRL131 · August 2014

You have tons of time to decide on a name, and the names that you each like could change in the time between now and when you deliver. I would suggest putting the conversation aside for now. Are you guys team green or finding out? If you're finding out, wait until you have for anatomy scan to talk about it again. That way, if you're having a boy, you don't spend time and energy arguing about girls names.

With DS1, DH and I each made a list of a few names and compared lists. It turned out we had a common name on the list and that made the decision easier once we looked at it like that. I think that this time, it looks like we actually may have a name for each sex. We will be finding out the sex at our anatomy scan and will talk more seriously about it once that point comes.

FWIW, I think Vivienne Grace is a beautiful name

We haven't even thought/talked about it.
We decided DD#2 name when I was about 36 weeks...so we've got time!

BabiesEverywhere · August 2014

Last time we had several boy names we liked, but had pretty much decided on a girl's name. And then the day we found out DD was a girl, neither of us liked our girl name anymore. So it was back to the drawing board. Even when DH decided on a name that I liked, I just couldn't commit until I saw her.

You'll figure something out. I think you technically even have 5 days after baby is born before you have to turn in the birth certificate form.

PassTheNachos · August 2014

I didn't even think about names with my second before we found out the sex because it didn't pay (IMO) to stress about the perfect name for a boy if we had a girl, or VV. I think we might go team green this time but it still hasn't been on my radar yet.

We have agreed not to worry about names until we know the gender. I figure that cuts out half of the argument.

This is what we will likely do as well. With my last pregnancy, we talked about names before finding out the sex of the baby...and discovered that we strongly disagreed on girl's names! (He had his heart set on Gladrielle Joyce. No way in hell I was going to agree to that!) Thankfully, we had a boy, and never had to settle that argument! Hopefully he won't bring it up again this time!

I love Vivienne Grace :-)

I had Lily Kathryn picked out YEARS ago (when I was in high school) and just knew I'd name my first daughter Lily Kathryn. Well, then time went on and infertility struck, and now Lily is obnoxiously common and I just don't think we can do it anymore.

My newest name that I'm in love with is Eleanora Rose. However, I really want to keep the Kathryn, because it's my sister's middle name and both of her girls have my middle name (Abigail Marie and Elsabeth Rose Marie)

Just not sure Eleanora Kathryn is a good as Eleanora Rose..
