How is everyone doing with names?

Thread Starter 
I'm still going back and forth. Right this minute were I to pop out this wee one and have to decide, I would name a boy Luca Rowan and a girl Zelda Beatrix. I've gone back and forth on girl first names and boy middle names though so who knows.

How about you all?

We've had the name solidified since I was like 8 wks pregnant....it's a secret though, it is a unisex name since we did not find out the gender the only difference will be the middle name.

I am kinda hoping this baby is a girl simply because we are pretty solid on our girl name...Aibhlinn Josephine Lillian (I am still iffy on the two middle names but they're family names and I am reluctant to pick just one incase no more girls come our way - Josephine being a longstanding family name on my mom's side, including mom's and grandmother's middle names, and Lillian was my paternal grandmother's name). Boy name...the leader is still Seamus, but it doesn't feel solid, and we haven't even broached the topic of middle names!

We're not even talking names. I've had no ideas come to me and absolutely, positively despise the one and only name dh is obsessed with (it is so a no-go, but he hasn't given up hope ). I'm hoping I'm struck by some serious inspiration when I see the little one .

since i don't know the gender i have a bunch of names and no solids except if it is a boy elijah is defiently the first name. i like ethan and caleb for middle names.
as for girls i like a few trinity, faith, elliana, olivia, and bethany but bethany is havens middle name and not sure how weird that would be.

We finally sat down a few nights ago and made a final decision on our boy's name. We've had a girl name for months now....
I'm glad we waited on deciding the boy's name because DH was in a great mood when we talked about it and let me have my all-time fave boy middle name!!! I can't tell but I'm dying to!!!!

We have several we are okay with, but nothing has really grabbed me. I also hope I'm inspired at the birth.

we've had our girl name since before DS was conceived, lol... if baby is a girl, she will be Eva Ruth. If baby is a boy, we are still a little on the fence, but it looks more and more like the name will be Nathaniel Eli.

I "think" we have a first name but we have no leads for a middle one yet....but then again, we are still trying to give our 18 month old a middle name and haven't come to an agreement yet!!

We had a name (that I came up with early on!) then I vetoed it a couple of weeks ago, so we are back to no name.

Ayv-lynn. We have debated on the spelling because it seems the main pronunciation for that spelling is Ayv-leen, which we don't like as much. But (according to one website) you can pronounce Eibhlinn "Ayv-linn". We aren't as fussy on the name starting with an E, but since they both have the same -linn ending, we are taking liberties.

Love both your name picks, by the way

We finally agreed on a boy's name, which means this little one is most certainly going to be a girl who will go nameless for a few days if we don't agree on something soon

We have no idea... and I'm due any moment! My mw said we have as long as we want to decide after he or she is born. I am hoping though that we can think of something soon after the birth so we can stop referring to him/her as "the baby."
