Name Situation

[toastercat]

I'm definitely in the "afraid of commitment" crowd. My first kid's name was never a question, so this second choice is a little daunting!

[mrsh288]

DH and I have only agreed on one girl name, so LO's name has been set since before conception. If it happened to be a boy, we'd be in a different boat for sure.

[earthian]

We're about 95% set on Nolan. But I want to see his face first.

[AleWife]

I chose #1 but it wasn't really nestled from day 1. Ha... A lot of back-and-forth between a couple options. But we finally settled. The middle name is still undecided!

[citybee]

DD's name was never in question. I've been questioning this kid's name since I found out he is a boy. I *think* we have finally decided, but I thought that once before already and then completely changed the name. It's definitely not a done deal until the birth certificate is signed.

[urani]

We have it down to two, unless H changes his mind at the last second and un-vetoes something. I've been leaning more towards one of them the whole time but I like both options and want to see him first before I commit. I always thought that sounded silly when other people said it but... I guess I'm a hypocrite.

[rquinlin]

We picked her name of the way to our first appt. We already had a boy name from last time.

[wamom]

I chose the first option since we finally figured out both names but it hasn't been love from the start. DH actually came up with the names. I apparently am done naming after the first two.

[starsailor26]

We have a first and middle name but haven't fully committed. It's mostly the middle name that may or may not change.

[shanniegal]

We've had a name chosen for a while now. I actually just started telling people that we have settled on one, but that we aren't sharing until he's here. Previously I was lying that we hadn't decided because I was scared that someone (specifically my mom) would convince me to tell and I'd regret it.

[saltyfins]

We have a name set in stone : )

[pinkpeony]

We've had our name for a long time, before we got pregnant.

[kcbizme]

We're still mulling it over.. we keep coming back to one in particular, but it's not set in stone. I'm in between the "can't commit" and "I'll know it when I see him" camps.. too bad we can't choose 2 options!

[skrittens]

We had the name - Greyson Griffin George (or Georgia) the day or so after we found out I was pregnant. In my ignorance I thought Greyson was was a unisex name- but thanks to the Name Board now staunchly agree it is for a boy only.

Luckily for our naming ease the babe has a penis so he will be Greyson. If he were a she, I don't think we would have a name yet.

[skrittens]

I wish we could Clicky Poll on mobile.

LO's name is actually what we would have named DD if she was a boy.

Same situation here.

[ladysnowblood]

I'm pretty sure we have a name, but for some reason, I can't fully commit yet. Naming DS was fairly easy and I thought it would be so easy to name a girl. I thought wrong.

[stine28]

We got our girl name finalized a few weeks ago but are getting NOWHERE with boy names. At the moment we have 14 names of which we'll pick two.

I wish DH would just cave and agree to my #1 choice, but I'm trying to not be a dickhead and let him have equal say.

[zebraleg4lunch]

We just got lucky we're having a girl. DH and I could not agree on a single boys' name.

[missycee]

Of the list we made there are 2 I love that H also really likes. I'm not sure if we'll officially decide anything until he arrives. With DD we went in with 2 names and chose after she was born.

Even if we do happen to pick, we won't tell anyone until the birth, it's nice to have a secret just between us. Heck, we haven't even told anyone the names we are considering, we don't need anyone's comments or opinions about something that has zero to do with them.

[melissat2742]

We have both a girl and a boy name picked out. We have for almost a year, being team green we are ready for either.

[mango]

We're 95% set on Eamon James -- but it has taken us a long time to get used to such an uncommon name. I even looked for other options last week! But I really like the name & it meets all of our requirements -- secular, not trendy/made-up, and respectable for a grown man. We might affectionately call him Ames, if it feels right.

My H is a little more worried about the name, but likes it better than other options. (Well - of the ones I wouldn't veto. He loves Cooper, Sawyer, etc. -- NMS.)

[bluebell0315]

We had names picked before I peed on the stick and got two pink lines Clark it is.

[cwbandthenewbie]

DS1s name was easy- set in stone (family name). This one- still nothing. I did a name poll a couple of months ago and Henry and Oliver were top runners. Now we have Milo in the mix. Does anyone have a favorite of those 3? Thoughts on Milo? It has a cool meaning and is a pretty old name.

I love Eamon, but my H wasn't crazy about it. It's a wonderful name!

[abachesta]

Since we don't know what we are having the boys name we picked out is 99% unless he doesn't look like it. And girl named we have 3 and I can't choose for some reason the girl name feels a thousand times harder then boy. And the H is mellow go with the flow so he doesn't care. Hopefully when I meet him/her it will be easier.

[ashleyrh661]

We are using the same girl name that we had with DS. Since we are team green though we had to come up with another boy name. We settled on first name pretty easy but went back and forth with the middle. But we finally agreed and are all set.

[cabauer9]

I was certain of the name once we said it. H was still holding onto another one until we had our a/s and he was sold on my choice.

[frecklesinside]

This has been legit painful for us! I'm a huge name nerd but am having the worst time with boy's names. We had a fantastic list of like 10 girl's names and had a top choice we LOVED. Boy names? We have a list...but NONE of them feel right. We have a top two and neither of them feel perfect. It's so weird. I've poured over this list one million times in addition to other resources on naming that I've come across over the years. Nothing seems *right*.

[jennypm]

We have a name picked out, but I'm afraid to tell people because I don't want to commit until he's here. I'm afraid I'll see him and he won't fit the name.
