And DD2 (Maisey) was on my long list but was not the top till after I saw her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-588156 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:27:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 588156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 36 hours after she was born! LO ended up with a name that wasn't even on our short list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-588141 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:14:03 +0000 rattles 588141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took two full names in for each gender (team green) and chose from them when we met her. The two girls options we'd settled on months/years prior, but the boys options were only final the week before. I'm still not sure our boy names would be right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586692 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:15:26 +0000 808love 586692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After getting pregnant but before the ultrasound. There was only one girl name we agreed on, didn't have any boy names for certain. So when we found out the gender, it was just meant to be. I never ever got any 'wow's' to our baby's name but we 'just knew' that was her name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586583 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:57:19 +0000 Beehive 586583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was one of our favorites early in the pregnancy and the frontrunner at the end, but we waited to decide for sure until we saw LO to make sure it suited him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586495 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:37:36 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 586495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first name was the easy part - he just looked like his name to me - but it wasn't until after birth that we agreed on the middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586492 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:36:39 +0000 BelugaBean 586492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We picked out a name for a boy and a name for a girl before we went in for our gender scan. She definitely fits her name so it worked out pretty well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586487 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:36:00 +0000 sera_87 586487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH had his first boy name picked out and I had my girls. So went the u/s confirmed we'd be having a boy he was named right then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586485 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:35:39 +0000 Beebug 586485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 hours after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586481 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:34:53 +0000 CottonCandy 586481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We talked about names we liked pretty soon after the first doctor's appointment (@ 6 weeks), but we didn't really start to pick the name until we found out the gender @ 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586467 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:31:55 +0000 cascademom 586467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided his name right after he was born. He was born at 8:30am. We announced it to my parents at 2pm. When they wheeled us into the postpartum room, they left his part of the whiteboard empty until we named him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586464 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:31:33 +0000 yellowbird 586464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we had to fill out her paperwork at the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-586448 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:29:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 586448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had decided on it before meeting DH, it was a month or so after our ultrasound before DH decided he liked it too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580904 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:27:51 +0000 Smurfette 580904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had discussed names before TTC. Then once we got pregnant, we decided to not mention names till we knew the gender. So we were in the doctor's office waiting for her after the ultrasound, I said well what about XX. He said that was his top choice. So it was a 2 min conversation. Then one night he googled middle names, so that is how that was decided. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580886 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:14:47 +0000 Ra 580886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a boy's name picked out before I was even pregnant. We had our girl's list narrowed down to four names before the anatomy scan. Luckily, we are having a boy so it made the process much easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580883 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:11:44 +0000 Running Elley 580883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were planning on waiting until he was born (DH's idea- definitely not mine!) but we picked a week before he was born :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580875 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:06:29 +0000 sslm 580875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still aren't 100% and won't be until she's born! We do have a top choice though :), I'm 33 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580814 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:30:33 +0000 mamabird 580814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided before we were pregnant. Then we picked the name we liked the best :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580808 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:27:48 +0000 rawrasaur 580808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 27 weeks we were 80% set on the name. I was still open to something better up until her birth, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580745 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:09:37 +0000 Dandelion 580745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on a girl's name long before we were even married. :) We picked a boy's first name early on in the pregnancy, but never settled on a good middle name. We're thrilled to be using the name we picked out long ago. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580740 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:08:57 +0000 Boheme 580740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is literally how our girl name conversations went: </p> <p>I'd suggest a name. DH: "That's an old lady name!"<br /> DH would suggest a name. Me: "That's a stripper name!" </p> <p>Praise the Lord we're having a boy. We'd have gotten nowhere :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580732 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:06:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 580732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were Team Green, and had hoped to go in with a boy name and a girl name, but we ended up going in with a short list for a girl with 3 names (one with more than one middle name option) and one boy name with 3 potential middle names because we couldn't agree on one. </p> <p>After he was born DH asked me which middle name I wanted and we went with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580731 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:06:51 +0000 MrsH 580731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't KU yet and we decided :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580730 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:06:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 580730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on a girl name really early-- like, less than 8 weeks? Which is funny because we really hadn't talked about girl names much at all.<br /> Boy names we have been talking about for years-- since before we were married-- and have come up with some favorites that eventually fell out of favor. We are still pretty stumped, but I'm only 17 weeks, so we have time. We feel like it's a boy, though we are team green and won't know until July. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580719 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:02:32 +0000 mrsmenow 580719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: We had names for a girl picked out that we loved with our second and I thought for sure we would use them for our third and for some reason the ones we had picked just didn't seem to fit. For a boy we knew our name from the get go, but of course it was a girl,lol. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580710 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:00:09 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 580710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on our girls name YEARS before TTC. Infact, before we were even married. lol. But for a boy? (Which I am pretty sure we are having. Wont know for a few more weeks though.) We are so stuck! We aren't into super traditional and "normal" names but we also don't want anything too out there... Also, all the names I like, he doesn't. Ugh... I keep joking that we had better have a girl because if it is a boy, he is so screwed on the name front! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580705 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:56:37 +0000 autumnlove 580705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 20 weeks for my LO! I am still thinking of names for baby 2 and I am almost at 30 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580700 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:55:57 +0000 winniebee 580700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day before he was born : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580697 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:54:38 +0000 mrsmenow 580697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first didn't have a name for 3 days.</p> <p>My second we took a list of 3 names that we really loved and chose one of those right away. </p> <p>My third we weren't super loving any of the names on our list and it took us a couple hours after she was born to pick one. Luckily she was born in the middle of the night so we had time before everyone started asking us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-los-name#post-580696 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:54:30 +0000 Adira 580696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually had already picked out a boy's name well in advance of even getting pregnant! Like years in advance - we just had both liked the name! For a girl, we agreed on it around 16 weeks or so, a couple weeks before my anatomy scan. </p>
