I wasn't sure if it was normal or just a weird quirk of ours. We aren't planning on TTC for a couple more years but have a definite girls name picked and potential boys name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant/page/2#post-2314881 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 11:42:49 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2314881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: I think it's great, that means you really love the name! We on the other hand just named our son something totally not on our radar at the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant/page/2#post-2314858 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 11:23:11 +0000 wrkbrk 2314858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: not to thread jack, but how are the babies? you're home, right? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314781 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 10:20:03 +0000 WinterBee 2314781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: We've been talking baby names for a couple years haha. We're TTC now and have our names picked out and still talk about random names. I think lots of people do this, you're not alone. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314653 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 08:41:05 +0000 youboots 2314653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, M told me what he would like our daughter to be named 2 years before she was born. We discussed other names but stuck to the original. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314613 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 08:14:32 +0000 Alivoo01 2314613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a name picked out for a girl when I was pregnant with DS. I'm currently pregnant with a girl so we're using that name we picked out over 2 years ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314559 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 07:29:47 +0000 travellingbee 2314559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always had a girl name but we never had a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314541 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 07:09:06 +0000 yellowbird 2314541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! We literally wait until the very last second to decide </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314538 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 07:06:42 +0000 lady baltimore 2314538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We talked about names before we started TTC, and had narrowed in on some favorites. Since I've been pregnant, I made us sort of start from scratch, combing through the baby books, but our front runners are still the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314481 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 05:04:13 +0000 bloved 2314481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our boy's name picked out well before we were pregnant (it's a family name) and we used it for our ds. We had a girls name picked out as well, but I got a student with that exact first and middle name this year so now we are back at the drawing board if we have a girl, and we no longer have a boys name. It actually feels weird to be so uncertain about names with this pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314480 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 04:59:57 +0000 farawayyama 2314480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chose DD's name over a decade ago. It's a family name (plus my middle name) and I love it. As it happens, when teenaged me chose it, it was in the 500-700 range for popularity and when she was born it was top hundred... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314450 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 00:54:50 +0000 BSB 2314450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had baby girl's name since we were TTC. It was the first name we agreed on. It wasn't a popular name so it was stayed on our list. I wasn't sure what we would end up with since we had IF but I'm glad it stuck and stayed after our 3 year journey to meet her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314370 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 22:03:59 +0000 Keybee 2314370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't stuck with the names that we discussed before becoming pregnant. We talked about them before, but ended up with different names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314364 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 21:56:09 +0000 sapphire 2314364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had first names for a boy or a girl while TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314347 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 21:35:48 +0000 Crystal 2314347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did! Oddly, though, once I was actually pregnant we didn't like any of the names we had the originaly agreed on. That's happened both times I've been pregnant. We don't have a sticky baby yet, so I'm not sure what we will actually name a child when we are lucky enough to have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314312 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 20:55:52 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2314312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one boy's name (first only) and one girl's name (first for sure and middle name is a probably) picked out. While I can't say for sure they will end up with our LOs, I would be surprised if they didn't! We are TTC, so whenever we talk about life with a LO, we plug in one of the two names when talking about our future child. We say things like, "When Claire gets here..." or "I'd love to take Wes (Weston) to...". We don't have a sticky baby yet though so we'll see! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2314272 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 20:22:17 +0000 LilSprinkles 2314272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had DS's name picked out before we even started trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313622 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 12:01:00 +0000 wrkbrk 2313622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleblessings: We did! We had chosen August Duncan before I got pregnant for a boy. But, when we found out we were having a boy we changed our tune. Funny how that works because I still love the name in theory! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313569 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 11:15:25 +0000 Mamasig 2313569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had DS1's name picked out before we got married! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313523 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 10:36:10 +0000 YouGotMe 2313523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We talked a lot about it and had two names picked out with stipulations. Then I got pregnant and hated all the names we picked except one of the middle names. </p> <p>The girl name we ended up choosing didn't go with the middle name we had picked from before so we came up with something else.<br /> I love LO's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313508 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 10:16:36 +0000 mrsrain 2313508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We chose our daughter's name before we were pregnant 😊<br /> There's s whole story behind why we chose it, which makes it kinda special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313504 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 10:10:48 +0000 Ajsmommy 2313504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We totally had the names picked out before ttc and stuck with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313502 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 10:08:49 +0000 leighleigh 2313502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had a running list of my own choices, from before we even started dating. We bounced some names around before TTC but my husband was non-committal. Once we found out we were pregnant, we pretty much agreed on a girls name right away--and will name our daughter that if she happens to be a girl! Boys names are a little more of a struggle, but we have a definite front runner. We find out the sex next week so if it happens to be a boy we'll probably finalize a more concrete name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313426 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 09:12:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2313426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! DH always had 2 girl names before we were even 100% TTC. We liked them both, and picked one to be our DD's name long before she was conceived! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313407 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 09:01:05 +0000 mrsjyw 2313407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We talked about names before ttc but then never ended up using them! And we thought we were dead set on one name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313394 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 08:54:01 +0000 jhd 2313394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband had no interest in discussing names until we were actually pregnant and knew the gender! :silly: But I love names so I would have been happy to discuss it sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313389 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 08:50:46 +0000 DesertDreams88 2313389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had 5 full girls names and 3 boy first names picked out for about 5 years now, ever since we got married. We sometimes reevaluate the "later" ones in the list, or middle names, but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313374 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 08:39:12 +0000 ldh112 2313374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We discussed names for fun on our honeymoon! We never liked the same boy names - then AND during pregnancy. Fortunately we found out we were having a girl and used one of our top girl names from the honeymoon conversation. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313343 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 08:18:40 +0000 fancyfunction 2313343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Ha - I did too. I told him the name on our honeymoon when we saw a street sign in Venice with the name. He loved it and here we are with our almost 3 yr old girl :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-before-pregnant#post-2313339 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 08:16:50 +0000 Bubbles 2313339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't last time, but if LO2 is a girl she will have the same girl name we chose last time but didn't use! </p>
