Which, I suppose, is preferable over having lots we like and not being able to agree, but it's frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1673637 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 16:12:33 +0000 namaste 1673637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've already agreed on a girl's name but nothing for a boy's name yet. It's actually scary how easy we agreed on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1673597 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 15:56:11 +0000 DigAPony 1673597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was easy for us too. I always knew I wanted his middle name to be my dad's name, which my husband was cool with. For the first name, I had a favorite that I suggested pretty early on in my pregnancy. My husband liked it, but we decided not to decide for sure until baby was born--we ended up going with the name and we both love it. No arguments or angst surrounding the decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1673557 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 15:39:26 +0000 Mommy Finger 1673557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our boy name before we even got married. It's a family name. We decided to not even discuss girl names seriously under after the gender scan. No need to "fight" about a name that wouldn't happen. We had a boy so it all worked out.</p> <p>Now I have girl name I love but can't think of a 2nd boy name I love as much as DS's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1672333 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 08:52:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 1672333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy names came very easy to us, we have similar tastes in those names. Girls names...not so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1672320 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 08:44:11 +0000 Anagram 1672320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agreed on a girl's first name super easily. Couldn't really agree on a boy's name. Luckily, we had a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1672274 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 08:24:35 +0000 mrsjyw 1672274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a short list of names pre-gender scan, we narrowed down to two pretty easily once we knew that our lo was a boy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1672266 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 08:23:04 +0000 kiddosc 1672266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on a boy's name pretty quickly, we never found a girl's name we could agree on. Good thing we had a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1672225 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 08:07:09 +0000 snowjewelz 1672225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH had 2 ideas for girl names and I liked them right away. We're having trouble with boy names but there are a few potentials that we agree on so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1672082 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 03:54:35 +0000 nana87 1672082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our names (boy and girl option) picked out like a year before ttc, lol (we were waiting ttc for a long time bc of career stuff!). I think it was a pretty easy decision, dh can be really decisive. I think I thought about my list for a really long time and then he narrowed it down quickly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1672035 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 23:53:13 +0000 birdofafeather 1672035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had lists and a final 2 for months. We pretty much decided 3 weeks before she was born but gave ourselves the space to change our mind if she didn't look like that name. But we were pretty in sync with our favorites and naming styles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671863 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:44:04 +0000 wonderstruck 1671863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we agreed on it during our very first name conversation! Just super easily came across names we both loved.</p> <p>The second time around? We debated for months. Ugh. I still feel like DH doesn't really love it...but I do! And he's just being stubbornly stuck on a name I don't like at all. We both like the one we've decided on, but I think his favorite is still lingering. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671842 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:37:31 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1671842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tossed names around for a little while, but as soon as we added K's name to our list, we had agreed/decided within the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671732 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 19:51:04 +0000 rachiecakes 1671732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH didn't really have a boys name he liked. He had one but agreed it didn't sound good with our last name. So I got to pick it and he liked it.<br /> If we had had a girl it would've been tougher. We really didn't love any girl names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671682 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 19:17:08 +0000 Radish 1671682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. It took forever. I started early this time because of how difficult it was last time and have a pretty good idea of the name options for this LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671680 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 19:16:58 +0000 Rockies11 1671680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we agreed on our lo's name on about our 3rd date, and we have picked out three boys names and two more girls names for our future babies. and whenever we think of any new name we immediately agree! so yeeeaaah we have never had a hard time agreeing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671651 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 19:01:25 +0000 googly-eyes 1671651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of but because dh only likes a couple of all the ones I've suggested for our next kiddo. There's no "this is our long list let's narrow it down." He just says "that one." The end. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671636 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 18:54:56 +0000 Greentea 1671636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea, we were definitive and certain, knew what we wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671492 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 16:57:05 +0000 Ms.Pumpkin 1671492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We came up with a girl name really quickly, while a boy name wasn't coming so easily- fortunately we're having a girl!</p> <p>I was actually a little worried that we decided too quickly, but even after going through name lists and considering other names, we just didn't like anything as much as our agreed-upon name (there are a few that I love and he doesn't, and vice versa, so those are all out). </p> <p>A middle name is a bit more of a conversation, but I think we've just about hit on that, so we're hopefully all good! I'm just hoping that it fits her when we finally meet her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671486 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 16:55:31 +0000 swedishfish 1671486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, no. We didn't decide on DD's name until about an hour after she was born. But we did have a boy name going in since we were :teamgreen: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671460 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 16:17:04 +0000 MrsH 1671460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we agreed within one conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671458 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 16:15:44 +0000 charmed 1671458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agree on a couple girl names, but neither of us has come up with a boy name we both love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671440 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 15:45:19 +0000 Espion 1671440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took up until I was being wheeled away for the c-section to commit to a name for E! This time, we mulled it over for about 20 minutes and came up with a top choice boy and girl name, since we're Go Team Green! They may evolve, but I think it is almost easier having a jumping off point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671439 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 15:43:33 +0000 Ra 1671439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agreed on a boy's name really easily. We had a more difficult time with girl names. Luckily, we had a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671435 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 15:37:12 +0000 Snowdrop 1671435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: we will be, I couldn't be team green I think I would be upset about the baby I didn't have if that makes sense?<br /> @skibobrown: I agree, I really only like the one boy name, it was lucky DH came up with it on is own and I was like 'wow, that is what I had in mind'! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671357 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 14:13:56 +0000 Synchronicity 1671357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant yet, but I know it won't be easy for us to decide on names! We've been talking baby names for a long time now, and rarely, rarely agree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671354 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 14:06:09 +0000 skibobrown 1671354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We agreed on a girl's name really easily. Luckily, we then found out we were having a girl. I don't know what we'll do next time around if we have a boy. Boy names were a lot harder for us to agree on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671352 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 14:03:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 1671352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our girl name was really easy. I had one name I liked, he was iffy about, then I saw another one I really liked and said, How about C__? He thought about it, suggested the exact same middle name I was thinking about, and we were done! We were team green and talked forever about boys names and never fully committed to one, but she was (well, still is) a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671351 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 14:02:58 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1671351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took us a year to agree on a boys name! I imagine if we had gotten pregnant right away and had a boy he wouldn't have had a name when he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-agree-on-names-really-easily#post-1671348 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 13:59:51 +0000 Crystal 1671348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: love your name choices! Are you finding out what you'll be having? </p>
