We are dealing with this right now. I remember that it took us about a week to name our second cat, so naming a baby without meeting the little one seemed a little ridiculous to me.
Of course, now our babe is 8 days old and still doesn't have a name and I think our midwife is getting concerned because she doesn't want the state to get on their case about the birth certificate being filed before a certain amount of time elapses. I'm just numb about the whole thing. I thought we had the perfect name, but then my mom had issues with it (it's her maiden name, which also happens to be a common Slavic first name, and her parents divorced when she was little and her father did not play any role in her life so she resents that) so now I'm not sure if it's right anymore.
On Bill's side of the family, he is a Fourth (as in William J** L** IV) so there is an expectation that this baby will be a Fifth, which I really don't want because I don't like the nicknames (Bill, Billy, Will, etc.) and giving him a name that is 100% after one parent seems to discount the other parent's involvement.
So, no, I don't think you are weird or strange or anything and I wish I had more thoughts and consolations to offer you. Just follow your heart...
warmly,
