We had two options for boys with one front runner and decided after he was born.<br /> With DS2 we also had two names with a front runner and chose neither because they didn't feel right once we met him. We chose different first and middle names that never even made it into earlier discussions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name/page/2#post-1670227 Sat, 31 May 2014 08:33:39 +0000 Tidybee 1670227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were team green but we decided<br /> On final names on a 7 hour drive to the beach when I was about 28 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name/page/2#post-1670225 Sat, 31 May 2014 08:26:06 +0000 bookwormmama 1670225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our girl name picked out before I got pregnant. Once we found out we started discussing boy names. I was pretty sure we were having a boy. Around 9 weeks (as we were driving home from my parents' house after we told them) I brought up a boy name I had heard and really liked. I totally though DH was going to shoot it down but he ended up loving it. I think he concidered it his name from that point on if he were a boy. I was less firm on it but once we found out LO was a boy at our ultrasound DH started calling him by the nickname we chose. So it was pretty cemented at that point. </p> <p>I love my son's name, but there were definitely times in the third trimester where I questioned it. I was worried about how it sounded with our last name, but everyone comments on how much they love his name so I think I was just paranoid :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1670024 Fri, 30 May 2014 22:04:02 +0000 MrsBeluga 1670024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Decided an hour before we got kicked out of the hospital. Although we knew we were having a girl, and had our top three picked out two or three months before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669974 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:27:15 +0000 Weagle 1669974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>End of third trimester. I'm 24 weeks with girl #2 and we've yet to discuss names at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669972 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:25:37 +0000 Caly 1669972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: probably the same as you! There were only a few that were especially frustrated, the others were excited with anticipation along with us, thankfully. They also knew it was a lost cause, we weren't changing our minds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669971 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:24:36 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1669971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were team green both times but had names pretty set, it just depended on how the child struck us when they got here. For both, the first name was quite obvious as soon as we saw them but on DS we fought on the middle name until right before we left the hospital. For DD, the name just rolled so we just went with it. Who knows how we'll decide the next one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669969 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:20:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1669969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Second trimester. We were trying it out around 27-28 weeks, fully decided by 30 weeks. Oh, I guess that may be third trimester? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669950 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:07:56 +0000 blackbird 1669950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time I got pregnant, we had a name picked out. It still felt right to use it when we found out E was a girl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669930 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:52:38 +0000 lilteacherbee 1669930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a boy name and a girl name picked out before we got pregnant. As soon as we knew he was a boy, we knew his name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669919 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:47:38 +0000 Mamasig 1669919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a boy name and a girl name picked out before we were married. So with DS1 he had a name as soon as we knew he was a boy. With DS2, his name was picked out late 1st trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669910 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:40:45 +0000 swedishfish 1669910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were :teamgreen: and chose a boy name but had a few girl names going into the hospital. We had a girl and took about an hour after she was born to name her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669902 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:36:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 1669902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Caly: that's awesome.

Not knowing also prevented me from going on a whole lot of shopping sprees since I didn't know what we were having. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669869 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:15:21 +0000 mrsjyw 1669869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 weeks ish.<br /> We also had a backup in case lo didn't 'fit' the name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669861 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:10:08 +0000 irene 1669861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2nd trimester, dinner at AppleBee's. We were on our usual name brainstorm. Husband suddenly throw out a pretty good name that works both in Chinese and English. I wrote it down on my phone. It turns out to be the only good name we ever come up with, agreed on, and that I ever written down. And that was that. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669857 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:05:14 +0000 Smurfette 1669857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both knew we liked the name before we were pregnant. Then we got pregnant and agreed no talking names till we knew the gender. We found out it was a girl and decided in the office waiting for the doc after the ultrasound. Middle name was finalized at the hospital in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669847 Fri, 30 May 2014 19:52:56 +0000 mrskc 1669847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS I think I was around 36 weeks when we decided. I'm 28 weeks right now and we are like 95% sure on this little girl's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669839 Fri, 30 May 2014 19:47:57 +0000 lawbee11 1669839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely after the anatomy scan. I think by 24-25 weeks we had decided. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669828 Fri, 30 May 2014 19:38:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 1669828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Team green. We decided the girl name pretty early- maybe 20 weeks? But never totally decided on a bit name. Good thing she was a girl. We still waited until we got to spend a little time with her before making it official. Even texted the family "it's a girl! Name coming shorty." My dad said we were just like the royal couple (c is a couple weeks younger than Prince George). </p> <p>@Caly: were you team green with twins?? That's impressive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669821 Fri, 30 May 2014 19:32:28 +0000 pl0508 1669821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we found out the sex at 19 weeks and had a name a few days later :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669749 Fri, 30 May 2014 18:50:02 +0000 fussygal 1669749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was my favorite name before we for pregnant and DH got on board the day we found out the gender at 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669520 Fri, 30 May 2014 15:58:12 +0000 Mae 1669520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Decided around 34 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669515 Fri, 30 May 2014 15:57:05 +0000 LovelyPlum 1669515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: I think this ended up being the case. We just.knew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669510 Fri, 30 May 2014 15:55:23 +0000 LovelyPlum 1669510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @MrsKoala: so we were also TG and had a name.for each sex. We always said that we wanted to meet LO before deciding for sure. That plan kinda went out the window on the day of, though-I hadn't even met her after she was born, and she was named! The nurse asked me, what's her name? and I said our girl's name without looking at or really consulting with DH. Whoops. Fortunately, DH and I had a quick side conversation after he came back across the room to me, and we decided that we were still on the same page. Good thing we weren't on the fence-it turns out that I'm impulsive after birth and hopped up on meds :silly:</p> <p>It is totally, 100% perfect for her though. We settled on it as our girl name around 23 weeks. Our boy name changed a little later, arou.d 27 weeks or so? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669498 Fri, 30 May 2014 15:52:05 +0000 Caly 1669498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were team green...we had 2 girl names picked out fairly early. The day they were born we were still waffling on boys names. We had girls so thankfully we didn't need them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669478 Fri, 30 May 2014 15:45:21 +0000 yoursilverlining 1669478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days after she was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669473 Fri, 30 May 2014 15:42:47 +0000 twodoghouse 1669473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided the night that we found out the sexes, which was a little after 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-were-you-set-on-a-name#post-1669451 Fri, 30 May 2014 15:29:41 +0000 littlebug 1669451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 seconds after he was born, before we even laid eyes on him (he wasn't breathing on delivery, so he was rushed away from us to get worked on). We both just *knew*. </p>
