We went back and forth a ton with DS... we didn't finalize it until the 3rd trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166486 Mon, 04 May 2015 13:29:00 +0000 Alivoo01 2166486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The week before my baby shower so early 30 something weeks? If we weren't forced to pick a name before then, we probably wouldn't pick one until right before birth going the rate we were. lol</p> <p>However, if we have a girl next, we have her name picked out already. And if it's a boy, there's a potential name lined up also! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166481 Mon, 04 May 2015 13:26:01 +0000 lamariniere 2166481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS, years before he was born.<br /> DD, the day after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166471 Mon, 04 May 2015 13:17:49 +0000 petunia354 2166471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days after he was born! We had a few names picked out before but didn't love any of them and ended picking something completely different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166468 Mon, 04 May 2015 13:15:38 +0000 Smurfette 2166468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We casual talked names pre-pregnancy. Then once I got pregnant, we didn't talk till we knew the gender. We were waiting for the doc after the ultrasound and we agreed then on her 1st name. Middle name wasn't 100% till she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166461 Mon, 04 May 2015 13:10:22 +0000 lawbee11 2166461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After the anatomy scan, so maybe around 23-24 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166459 Mon, 04 May 2015 13:08:39 +0000 Tidybee 2166459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though we were :teamgreen: we decided on the boy and girls name at 28 weeks on a long drive to the beach.<br /> This one I think we've known for a while but we feel a little odd calling him or her her name. We've decided on it, but knowing the sex, I think we just want to wait until we meet the baby to officially name it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166425 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:50:57 +0000 winniebee 2166425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Day I went into labor for DS1!</p> <p>Probably a month before for DS2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166423 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:50:05 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2166423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the first trimester for DS. We were team green and will reuse the name for number 2 assuming we have one. We have discussed boy names and have probably decided. We aren't planning on TTC for another year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166370 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:21:14 +0000 Mama Bird 2166370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe like 6 months for DS. This kid doesn't have a name, we don't have any good ideas, and just 10 weeks to go. Poor thing will probably end up with some awful name :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166345 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:09:46 +0000 ValentineMommy 2166345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few weeks after we found out the gender, both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166341 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:08:18 +0000 sapphire 2166341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much already settled while we were TTC. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166340 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:08:11 +0000 lilteacherbee 2166340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1, we had one boy and one girl name picked out before I was pregnant, so it was decided as soon as we knew the gender. This time, we finalized the name about a week after we found out he was a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166330 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:04:43 +0000 ineebee 2166330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a day after he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166291 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:55:18 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2166291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say we had LO#1's name solidified at around 30 weeks. We started calling him that when other people weren't around to get used to it and really liked it.</p> <p>I'm 20 weeks and we don't even have a name that stands out to us yet. We certainly have time, but we're both having far more trouble with the second boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166281 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:52:24 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2166281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a boy name and girl name picked out by 14 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166272 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:49:23 +0000 miramira 2166272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A day or two after he was born. We'd whittled it down to two options by then, at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166264 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:48:03 +0000 yoursilverlining 2166264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1-2 days after she was born (can't remember exactly when, but I do remember that the nurses were really (nicely) pressuring us to pick a name before we left the hospital!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166231 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:28:57 +0000 illumina 2166231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166217 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:18:04 +0000 CakeLady 2166217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 hours after he was born :happy: We were team green and had two names for each sex picked out, it took us a little while to make sure our choice felt right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166206 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:13:54 +0000 anonysquire 2166206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a short list and both names so far have come from there. The list was made pre-zuma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166193 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:08:55 +0000 Meowkers 2166193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a short list at the time I got pregnant. We officially chose a first name about 2 days after finding out the sex of the baby at 12 weeks. The middle name is what we had trouble with. We just couldn't chose one. I think I was 39 weeks when we finally had one picked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166155 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:54:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 2166155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the delivery room after he was born! </p> <p>We don't know the sex yet, but we have a running short list for boys/girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166151 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:52:38 +0000 Anya 2166151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before she was conceived, finalized when we knew she was a girl. Settled on a middle name a few weeks after that.</p> <p>We didn't tell anyone until the birth though, so nothing was monogrammed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166150 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:52:10 +0000 youboots 2166150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M suggested it 2 years before she was born. I made a note of it and we ended up using it. We considered other names and only told family and that was likely going to be her name 4 weeks out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166147 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:51:02 +0000 snowjewelz 2166147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we were even pregnant. It was a girl name, so I am sooo glad it was a girl at anatomy scan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166122 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:38:45 +0000 Astro Bee 2166122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on DS's name 2 days after he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-choose-babys-name#post-2166111 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:34:15 +0000 Keybee 2166111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a name for my first, but no plans for any to follow.

We didn't even have a list started until way after the anatomy scan. </p> <p>I'm 28+ weeks now and randomly thought of a name that I think we both REALLY like :) Not final yet though! :P And I think we're going to keep it to ourselves until he's here!</p> <p>I think we knew around 30 weeks with DS1 and was gifted a monogrammed anywhere chair around then too! :P </p>
