With DD, I had her name picked before I even found out she was a girl at 20 weeks. Then it was just a matter of convincing SO, but he finally agreed to Aislinn Noelle while we were in the hospital. With DS, I've had a running list. We decided on our girl name before we had our anatomy scan (Iona Elise) and then found out he's a boy, so now we're stuck again. SO doesn't like the name I picked, and I don't think the name he picked flows with the middle name.
We had our son's name picked out. Found out were having a girl 5 weeks ago. Have barely talked about names. We're pretty laid back so maybe about 30 weeks, we'll start talking about it.

lolasky When you have a minute would you mind editing your post to remove my last name? I don't know why I put it in there in the first place. I just wasn't thinking. I edited my original post. Thanks for the advice and sorry for the extra work!!
With DD we had a list of a few names when I went in to labor, but had said we didn't want to decide for sure until we saw her. When we talked about it later though we both admitted that we had been set on one (luckily the same one) for a few weeks. It was actually the last name to be added to the list, we didn't think of it until about a month before I was due.
This time we said the same thing about waiting until she's born to decide for sure. We have about 10 first names on our list right now. The middle name is pretty much set because we want to use a family name. A lot of our favorites are not liked on the Baby Name board and I'm debating with myself now if I care about that or not. Not so much those specific opinions, but it's because they are traditionally boy names. I think they are popular enough for girls that it wouldn't be something that would get side-eyed a bunch, but maybe I'm wrong. And now DD has started referring to the baby by one of those names and that's probably going to make it harder.
