Anyone thinking of names yet?

[wife&mommy]

So, I KNOW its early but is anyone thinking of what they want to name their little one yet? If so, what do you all have in mind?

[mama_b]

I have no idea. With dd I just knew what her name was right from the beginning. Almost like she was telling me that it was her name. Dh didn't like it, but I completely disregarded his feelings and gave her the name anyway. : (he loves it now though, it suits her perfectly) So this time out of fairness I'm going to let dh pick the name. He doesn't seem all that interested right now, maybe later when the pregnancy seems more real.

It seems to be the topic of most conversations. We have a few names picked out but the top ones are Leigh for a girl, and Aaron for a boy. There are several others, and we plan to get a baby name book just to be sure we've thought of everything.

We decided to name the baby after his best friend, Alan Matthew if it is a boy or Alana Madison if it is a girl.

Secretly I am hoping for a boy because I like Alan Matthew better than ALana Madison. :

We have lots of options already, but DH doesn't want to think about names until the third tri. Even then, we will have several choices for each gender and wait to pick the actual name until after the birth. We won't be sharing our decisions with anyone (not even online) until after the birth certificate has been filled out.

DH and I picked out names on our fourth or fifth date.:
Then last year, we discovered that our top choice for a boy is actually his uncle's given name (and the name given to uncle's recently born son)!
So that one's out.

Now that we are actually expecting, I've discovered a new girl's name that I love, and will spend the next eight months convincing my beloved to go along with me (assuming the bean turns out to be a girl, of course!).

I started picking out names last October when I convinced the hubster to finally have #4. I won't be finding out the sex of the baby, so we will need to pick one of each. Tough work!

We have a hard time agreeing, but I will be a bit more adamant this time as it seems I never get THE name I want. I am tossing the one I have wanted for all three of my kids and picking other things and sticking to it

[lesliesara63]

If its a girl the name will be Zara Isabelle. No boy names yet & we've been working on it for 5 years! Everything seems too trendy or weird.

[weliveintheforest]

So far just 'The Lentil'!
I have a few ideas, but now that I am actually pregnant I don't like them anymore.

[moderngal]

Right now it's Thor2. (ds was Thor when he was in utero)

We do have 2 first names that we love- Cate for a girl and Dylan for a boy. But I have been known to change my mind. a lot.

[noah's mom]

We've been talking names ever since before DS was born. Girl will be Solana Lorena (partly b/c I love Spanish names and my DH is of Puerto Rican descent, and partly b/c it's a play on both grandmoms names - DH's mom is Solmarie and mine is Lorraine).

Boy will be Joaquin, not sure on the middle name though (not too surprising, we had DS's first name picked out about 2 months before he was born, but we didn't choose a middle name until right after the birth!)

[Nitenites]

If we have a boy, he'll be Maximilian Paul, if we have a girl, we're leaning toward Grace Elizabeth. But the girl name isn't set in stone, yet.

Who am I kidding - there are no girls in DH's family... we have 3 boys so far... girl names are a moot point.

[stellimamo]

We've got a list of names started pre conception and now we are consentrating on that. It's going to take this whole pregnancy to come up w/ a name....

[boobs4milk]

ugh...can't we just name the baby "baby"??? we fought for months over a girl name last time...and i don't like the boy name we agreed on anymore! i like claire, he likes alberta:

[guest9921]

We still have lists from DS.

But, yes - I am.
I don't want to share, because everyone stole (Stole I say!!) my Olivers name.
[Or maybe thats just my ego talking. ]


But, I get new name ideas by reading others - so, I'll throw down my cards too.


I'm trying to think girl as much as possible, so only going for girl ideas. We wont name her (or him) until we get to know her (him.)


Aurelia
Lucia (Lu-Sha, the italian version, not Lu-Se-Uh)
Philomena (Had a neighbor who named her daughter this 3 years ago, I didn't like it much at first, but it Really grew on me. See, now 'I' am the name theft.

I'm terrified of trying to find a name we love!!! We like such unique names. Our last one (Xeowyn, "ZAY-oh-win") came to me in a dream when I was 5 weeks along. I keep hoping that will happen again!! Haha. I have no ideas at all yet. The only thing I know is that if it's a girl her middle name will be Lynne after my beloved deceased grandma.

[FroNuff]

If I have a boy, the name is picked. We've had that picked for a WHILE.

If it's a girl, who knows? Maybe I'll actually get to use the middle name I wanted for DD2, which was Noa.

[rosyforbaby]

Baby names....I thought about this even before I was pregnant. My DH is deaf so it was important when deciding to keep it simple. If a girl we will name her Lily-Rose and if a boy Aspen but who knows it could change as soon as the baby pops out one never knows....

[rosyforbaby]

Funny my DH was the same. I told him if a girl I would pick if a boy he could pick but he said no no no you pick so I came up with some names and he kept saying no to the ones I would pick? Men, funny. Now we decided Boy-Aspen and Girl-Lily-Rose.....

[Belleweather]

If we have a boy, I'm really pretty set on Rhys David. I don't know that DH agrees me, but I'm set on it enough that I'm willing to pull rank.

If we have a girl, I have no idea. We had a whole slate of M names picked out last time... Maia, Miranda, Meredith, etc. We were pretty sure we were going with Maia, and then ended up with a little boy for whom we couldn't decide on a name until 36 weeks and our family was going crazy. So I'm hoping that my name indecision means we're likely to have a girl this time.

(Also, DH desperately wants this pregnancy to be boy/boy twins so he can name them James and Jack for his favorite Doctor Who characters. :eyeroll)
