S/O names - which list is bigger?

[mara005]

Just curious!

[ajetter]

I'm convinced we're having a boy. I've only brainstormed boys names. If we're having another girl we're screwed. I don't think I'll be able to come up with anything I like that fits my not too popular criteria.

[lulurm]

We're decided now, so we just have one name for each sex.

But prior to that, our girl list was much longer. DS is already named our favorite boy names (Jacob Arlo with the nn Jake), both are family names. We had a hard time coming up with more boy names we liked. We settled on a girl first name right away, we had lots of great names to chose from.

[lemon200]

We can only agree on girl names so I'm convinced that we are having a boy.

[jabs]

We have more girls names, because we can't agree on any. And I think we're pretty set on a boys name.

[elizabeth11]

We have both girl and boy names set but I think I'm starting to second guess the boy name.

[divinemsbee]

Girl list is longer, but we're pretty set.

[thewop]

We only agree on one boy name so..... Yeah. For girls our list has 3-4 names.

[pmcd886]

I have mainly been looking at girl names, so more girl names. My H won't talk names with me until we find out the sex.

[ChrissDee]

We cannot agree on any girl names. Noah Robert is our chosen name if we have a boy, although yesterday my husband told me he also likes Luke.... just so he can say, "Luke, I am your father."

[jennylynn6785]

We know what name we'll use if it's a boy, as I've always wanted to name a son after my grandfather and MH has always wanted to give a son his father's name as the middle name, so we're set there. But our list of girls' names just grows because we can't agree on one.

ETA: spelling

[kingbaby]

We're set on boy's name completely & girl's middle name. We have a top contender, which sounds great w/ the middle name but I'm not crazy about it w/ our last name, & a 2nd choice, which is great w/ last name but not with middle. Middle name isn't changing b/c we're naming after H's grandmother, who we lost this summer. Name discussion has halted until we find out sex.

[lebradford]

Um. I've gotten through the Ds in the boy side of the baby name book. That's it. I'm too tired to do much more.

[cupcakecutiern]

ugh we have not started the great name debate of 2015... last time we were team green and actually only had a girls name... luckily we had a girl!

[Deleted]

We both agreed on our girl and boy names right away, we're set. I won't allow myself to "look around" because I don't want to confuse myself. Lol

[lindy]

Girl is down to two names. Boy list is very long, and we will never agree lol

[Deleted]

We have names set for either sex. Girls name is one we picked out when pregnant with DS before knowing he was a boy.

[RedAero]

We have one girl name approved. That's it.

[kbugcmommy]

Our girl list is way bigger, like it actually has names on it. Both our other boys didn't have names until right before they were born. We just can't agree on boy names.

[mommakc]

Although we have our boy name picked out, our entire list was much longer than our girl list. I have a hard time with girl names.

[bibliothecary]

We have two names picked out. One for a boy and one for a girl. That's it.

[aelias]

So, the middle name will be Kelly, boy or girl. It's my MIL ' S maiden name, and my son got my mother's maiden name.

Got 2 boy names and 3-4 girl names. Unfortunately, my husband has his heart set on a girl name that's been sort of ruined for me by a work contact.

[mommabakes]

We've got no names at all that we agree on. For either sex. We are going to wait until after the a/s to really try and figure out a couple. We had a really hard time deciding DDs name too.

Jake is a FABULOUS little boys name.

[wildermom]

I have a girl name ready and a boy name ready. More boy options if we waver but I think DH is onboard with both.

With DS we announced his name when we found out the gender and then later struggled with it because we had second thoughts and felt like we couldn't "take it back" after announcing. Well, turns out his name is perfect so whatever.
But this time we may sit on it a little longer, or just let people know what we're thinking when they ask is individually.

In the same exact boat. Except we haven't even really considered boy names much, either. So we'll be those parents who have an unnamed baby boy at the hospital, I'm sure. Lol

[michellina]

We've got our girl name set in stone. Boy name is a horrible challenge right now! We don't agree with anything, and I'm at a point where I feel like I look through 2,000 boy names and don't like any of them! I'm trying to relax and just wait until we know the sex. I have to agree with previous poster lemon200... the baby will probably be a boy because of this!

This is my fear! The girl name that we have is a combination of both of our grandmother's names. I am nervous that if we announce the name after the sex reveal that I will then find THE name and be too nervous or feel too bad to change the name. We are going to try to keep it a secret until the little one comes into the world but let's be honest, I was telling people I was pregnant at 7 weeks... secrecy is not one of my strong suits!



For boy names, the issue seems to be that DH associates names with people that he doesn't like. But he doesn't like anyone so I am convinced we are going to have to name our son Mud. haha. We have a few names that we don't hate but we don't love either. They are just kind of on the list because we don't hate them.. hopefully things will become clearer.

I got to listen to my mom complain that my niece's name "is really a boy's name" (Jayden) so yeah we won't be sharing the name once we decide. We're actually not sharing the sex either, since I prefer gender neutral items. Though my mom's also insisting that we can just tell her. Uh-Huh, this from the woman who called to remind me I'm almost 12w & can she start telling people already?? No. I said (AGAIN) we're not going public until 14w & it is *our* news to share. sigh
