I like it for a boy but think it's harder for a girl. So tough because he loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going/page/2#post-2478567 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 13:50:08 +0000 csross217 2478567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>31 weeks today and we still haven't decided! We've known from the beginning that we'd be using my grandmother's name as her middle name. We've narrowed it down to 3 first names, but can't decide from there. I thought we had a front runner that we both agreed on, and just last night DH said that he saw it written down and wasn't sure he liked how it looked!! We're leaving it on the list for now though. Worst case, we're going to narrow it down to 2 names and wait until she's born to decide for sure.</p> <p>It's been pretty frustrating because I'm the only one coming up with names, and DH shoots down all of them. He can't give me reasons he doesn't like them, they just "don't sound right." I think if I left it up to him she'd just be named baby girl *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going/page/2#post-2478487 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 13:01:40 +0000 MrsKoala 2478487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been talking about it. We threw out our second choice names from LO1 as they don't seem to feel right this time around. We are wavering between three boy names and we have a bunch of girl names that we like. We probably won't seriously get down to deciding our hospital contenders until a couple weeks before baby comes. Since we're TG, we go in with 2 possible names for each sex and then decide when we meet our baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going/page/2#post-2478470 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 12:52:16 +0000 pregnantbee 2478470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBeluga: Yay!

We are really excited about them and absolutely adore them too. We still have until August to change our minds, but I dont think we will. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going/page/2#post-2477871 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:27:54 +0000 ShootingStar 2477871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: Thanks!</p> <p>@pregnantbee: Yeah I'm not really one to keep it a secret. And we're pretty decisive people. This name felt like the one even before we knew she was a girl :happy: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477846 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:58:24 +0000 Purpledaisy 2477846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>25 weeks tomorrow and we are set. I still browse names every now and then but I doubt we will change it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477790 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 19:26:01 +0000 avivoca 2477790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both names have been set for ages. But some I liked have been vetoed: Parker Elaine (because initials would be PEE), Katelyn Makenna (T hates it), and Caleum James. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477755 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 18:39:29 +0000 pregnantbee 2477755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: I've been asking DH if he has thought of any other names. He suggested one that I immediately vetoed, and then got upset bc I didn't even think about it. Then I suggested one....and HE immediately vetoed. Now he understands :)</p> <p>ETA: I think we have a pretty solid first and middle name, but still keeping our options open just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477750 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 18:31:46 +0000 Applesandbananas 2477750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH hates my favorite names but I'm hoping he will come around. I loooooove Elliot for a boy but he's kinda meh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477727 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 17:54:52 +0000 pregnantbee 2477727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBeluga: Love those options :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477726 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 17:54:07 +0000 pregnantbee 2477726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: You're sharing her name?? So pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477709 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 16:47:12 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2477709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>almost 27 weeks and no name in sight for this baby girl! Her middle name is set (Ellis after my FIL) but we have 5 picks that we can't seem to decide on! I like them all, hubby likes none of them/wants to think about other options for a bit... but doesn't have any suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477708 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 16:46:58 +0000 Ree723 2477708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nearly 24 weeks here and have barely even started discussing names! We've had a couple of brief discussions but no names are jumping out at either one of us for either sex. We're TG again so we have to come up with at least one name for each.</p> <p>With LO1, we had a girl name sorted by 7 weeks and never wavered but no boy name, good thing she was a girl! With LO2, we had a boy name fairly set by 35 weeks but no girl name, and it was a girl so we had a mad scramble in the hospital trying to decide upon a name. Funny enough though, I wasn't 100% sold on her name but quickly grew to love it and am absolutely obsessed with it now, so the last minute pick really worked for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477698 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 16:27:04 +0000 catomd00 2477698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>27 weeks with a girl and have barely discussed it lol. We don't even have leftovers from DD since hers was the only we could agree on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477685 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 16:14:11 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2477685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are 28 weeks and some change, we have a boy name picked but no girl name. I don't really see us finding something before delivery, so we will hopefully have a few names we like to decide if it is a girl. It does cause me stress though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477683 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 16:08:10 +0000 Pirouette 2477683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBeluga: I love the name molly!</p> <p>@ShootingStar: Ahhhh I love her name!! </p> <p>We just found out the sex this week so we have only had preliminary talks. We agreed both times not to discuss until we knew the sex </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477658 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 15:46:57 +0000 YogiRunner 2477658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: I love Alden! Unfortunately DH nixed it, he hasnt told me why.</p> <p>We are 30 weeks and "narrowed" it down to 6-8 names for a boy and a girl (each). I have no idea how this is going to go down, but I'll bet we'll narrow it to 2-3 and then decide after s/he is born. One of the hardest parts of being :teamgreen: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477621 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 14:20:28 +0000 mamabolt 2477621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>34 weeks and DH and I are set on two different names. Poor baby boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477595 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 13:39:59 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2477595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having a girl! Our boy name was set but we had no girl names! My fave is Poppy. DH isn't into it. We also like Lucia and Harlow... Also on the list: Ivy, Augusta, Hazel.<br /> I think if I said any of them were good with me DH would be on board. He is pretty laid back. I wish he liked Poppy. No middle name yet! But will use a family name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477580 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 13:19:05 +0000 Applesandbananas 2477580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: haha I was trying to think of other presidents named James and I can't think of any, so I think you're okay!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477577 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 13:15:28 +0000 Silva 2477577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've got a boy name picked, but are waffling on the girl name.

We did have one short talk about it and I told him my top pick for a girl and he seemed on board. We had a top contender for LO2 that we never used and I am wondering if it's too weird to go with that one this time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477568 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 12:58:21 +0000 artsyfartsy 2477568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doing good. Almost 6 weeks and I think we have a top contender for both sexes. We haven't nailed it down for sure but we'll probably wait til we find out for sure if it's a boy or girl before bringing it up again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477556 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 12:46:22 +0000 SLR 2477556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Due next week and still haven't decided! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477553 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 12:40:11 +0000 MrsSCB 2477553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBeluga: I love James and it was my grandfather's middle name! Though with my husband's last name it becomes the full name of a president... Not a super prominent one (so not Monroe or Madison), but I can't decide whether that's weird or not, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-expecting-hows-the-name-game-going#post-2477549 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 12:34:22 +0000 ShootingStar 2477549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're due in August with a girl and we've decided on Lily Lucia.
