We had a boy name picked but went in with a few girl names...we had a girl! It took us around an hour after she was born to name her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1637513 Thu, 15 May 2014 16:44:32 +0000 Meltini 1637513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our hospital room had a dry erase board in it and while I was in labor we had nurses writing our baby names up there and then erasing them when we decided we didn't like it. D ended up being named on the day we were discharged. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1637423 Thu, 15 May 2014 16:16:40 +0000 sunny 1637423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had 2 names we liked. We decided on her first name pretty quickly but her middle name took a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1637338 Thu, 15 May 2014 15:59:46 +0000 yoursilverlining 1637338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were totally unsure; and ended up being even more unsure than we thought we were. We had a list of a couple names, none fit LO so she was "baby girl lastname" for a few days. It's really no big deal if you don't have a name figured out before they are born :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1637293 Thu, 15 May 2014 15:50:38 +0000 illumina 1637293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were unsure. Most of the way through the pregnancy, we thought we were decided, then towards the end we doubted it and agreed to wait until she was born. We ended up using that as her middle name and picked another from our ~5 name shortlist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1637238 Thu, 15 May 2014 15:38:22 +0000 Sunderling 1637238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When our daughter was born we had a short list of girl and boy names, and we had already decided we weren't in a rush to pick between them. We wanted to pick the one that seemed to fit the best. We woke up the morning after she was born having both independently decided on the same one during the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636661 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:15:30 +0000 rattles 1636661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took in two full girls names and 2 first/4 middle boys names to the delivery room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636656 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:14:36 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1636656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we had a few names we really liked, but waited until we saw her to choose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636650 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:13:58 +0000 swurlygurl 1636650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty positive baby #2 isn't going to have a name by the time we go to the hospital! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636646 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:13:16 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1636646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@polkadots: Yup! We were pretty sure of one boy's name, but were very undecided on the other name. In fact, we didn't name our boys until the next day because we had to see them and decide on names that fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636642 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:13:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 1636642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, both times! We went with a short list of 3 per gender for Wagon Jr. and ended up naming him a totally different name... then for LMW we went with 2 finalists (which I forced Wagon Sr. to help me narrow down in the last weeks) and picked after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636625 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:11:08 +0000 Torchwood 1636625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin did! Then again, she was one of those "I didn't know I was pregnant" people, so she had less than a month to get used to the idea that she was having a baby and to come up with a name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636601 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:06:54 +0000 littlebug 1636601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went in with 5 names on our list. The minute he was born, even before I saw him (he wasn't breathing at birth, so he was taken immediately to the NICU suite in the room), I turned to my husband and said "He's D." Hubs agreed in a heartbeat. We just knew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636577 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:02:21 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1636577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both kids were team green. For DS, we had boy and girl names pretty set except for the boy middle name. And of course he came out a boy! So until day of checking out of the hospital, middle name was a heated debate. With DD we weren't sure at all on boy names but girl names were set and she was a she so no biggie!</p> <p>Third one is going to be a doozy but we have lots of time to duke that out ;) Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636553 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:58:47 +0000 Beyond2 1636553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a name for either LO until after they were born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636549 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:57:59 +0000 loveisstrange 1636549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a list of 3. When she was born, her name was the one that felt right. I knew right away that that was the one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636542 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:57:06 +0000 polkadots 1636542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: DH is being really nice and basically letting me pick but not having another opinion is really making me second guess the names.. </p> <p>@Smurfette: The middle name is the only one we have picked<br /> out and that's been a for sure thing since before pregnancy. </p> <p>@beebug: Everyone says we will know when we see him, but I really don't think we will.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636537 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:56:12 +0000 Beebug 1636537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>40+3 today and no idea, lol.......we figure it'll come to us, ha!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636514 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:52:49 +0000 Smurfette 1636514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't 100% sure on the middle name but were on the first name. We almost did Elizabeth for the middle name, which was funny cause both our nurses had Elizabeth in their name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636508 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:52:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 1636508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We knew for LO #1, but could see the next one going this way. We do not agree what so ever when discussing names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-go-to-the-hospital-really-unsure-of-what-to-name-lo#post-1636499 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:51:01 +0000 polkadots 1636499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 38 weeks.... and we don't have a clue what were naming this baby! We have like 10 names on a list that we kind of life, but nothing is really grabbing us. </p>
