DH and I both made lists of about 20 names that we don't hate and there isn't a single match between the lists. Now every time I bring it up, he jokingly suggests a hybrid of our dogs' names. DD (2 1/2) keeps suggesting that we name the baby "girl." We have 7 weeks left to figure it out, or I guess we'll just call her girl :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1547500 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 23:08:45 +0000 wonderstruck 1547500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! I've officially decided to not give it any more head space until we find out what we're having! I love our son's name so much that nothing is matching up to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1547478 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 22:53:57 +0000 Torchwood 1547478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am SO there right now. We have a girl name (well, middle name that she'd go by, but no first name yet), but boy names are impossible. We have some we like, but I don't want to go with something that we think is "okay." Every time we think maybe we've found one, after some thought we decide it's not right. Gah. So frustrating. I'm pretty okay with a boy or a girl in general, but when it comes to naming I REALLY hope we just have a girl and don't have to deal with a boy name this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1547457 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 22:29:50 +0000 Pancakes 1547457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked DD tonight what the baby's name should be if it's a girl, and she replied with her own name. Oh, if only it were that easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1547393 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 21:52:58 +0000 regberadaisy 1547393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why can't you choose a name for meaning? LO's meaning is a huge part of why we chose her name. But then meaning is important to me. </p> <p>But since we are having the same gender, I feel you. It took us a while to agree to a name for M. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1547390 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 21:48:30 +0000 Mae 1547390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't hate it, but it's not nearly as fun as I thought it would be. I have always loved names and followed baby name blogs/kept lists of potentials for years before I was even sure I was having a kid. But when you're naming a REAL child and not just a hypothetical one... omg so much harder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1537261 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 14:24:12 +0000 kentuckygirl 1537261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just keep avoiding the conversation. We have a short list but it is so monumental that we seem to be procrastinating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1537026 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:32:37 +0000 Littlebit 1537026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gah! Us too! We're pretty set on a girl name, but boys names bring out the claws in both of us. I'm really hoping it's a girl just for the sake of not having to have a gladiator match :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1537008 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:29:24 +0000 swurlygurl 1537008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stratosphere: Ugh, seriously! I just found out I'm having a girl, so now everyone is asking if we have a name yet. Wait... what... I *just* found out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1537004 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:27:55 +0000 skipra 1537004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We had lists galore with DS and still only decided once he was born.<br /> This time we pretty much avoided the conversation. I started calling the baby a family name and it just kind of caught on. We had one conversation where I asked DH if he liked the name and mentioned another name that I also like that he likes as well. And then we decided we were done with the naming conversation until the baby is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1536984 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:23:26 +0000 stratosphere 1536984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm due in August and if one more person asks if we've picked a name yet... </p> <p>I seriously hate the process and DH and I both keep avoiding it. We both really dislike our names (I dislike my first name so much that I started going by my middle name 14 years ago), so I think we both realize how high-stakes this decision is and how it feels to be the kid whose parents screwed up and gave you a name you don't like or that doesn't fit. Yet DH's last name is SUPER common, so it makes picking a name to go with it even harder, as all the classic names sound so anonymous with his last name. Ugh. I think I'll put it off until the last possible minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1536949 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:13:08 +0000 polkadots 1536949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having trouble too! We had DDs name picked out the day we had our anatomy scan (21 weeks) Here we are at 31 weeks with DS and we still can't make up our mind! </p> <p>We love DDs name and its gender neutral, maybe we should just use it for DS too? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1536909 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 13:04:46 +0000 BadgerMom 1536909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in the same boat. I keep telling myself we have time, but the time just keeps ticking by...</p> <p>@beyond2: That would be great! Like Cabbage Patch dolls lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1536853 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:55:04 +0000 Beyond2 1536853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate picking names! Our son was named 3 days after he was born and were still not set on a name for DS2 who is due this month! I really wish they'd just name themselves lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1536838 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:51:15 +0000 snowjewelz 1536838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just have a hard time with a boy name. We have girl names already, both in K, so we want to find a K boy name. But it's tough b/c both of our K girl names are meaningful too and there is nothing we like that sounds good &amp; has meaning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1536837 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:51:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1536837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are really stuck right now too. Plenty of ideas, nothing we love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1536827 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:47:53 +0000 beachbee 1536827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhhh I'm in the same boat right now! We are team green, and I LOVE my LO's name so much. We are having a hard time finding both a girl and boy name that is unique (like LO), goes with her name well, and that we both love. I'm over it!!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tired-of-thinking-about-names#post-1536815 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:45:45 +0000 swurlygurl 1536815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so tired of stressing over names. I almost wish we were back to the days where people picked names simply based on meaning!</p> <p>I love L's name SO much, I'm positive I'm never going to find a name I love anywhere close to as much.</p> <p>Plus DH and I have completely different naming styles.</p> <p>Anyone else hate the process of naming their children? </p>
