We were team green so we had both boy and girls names picked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-79396 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:24:13 +0000 anbanan15 79396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had names licked out way before we knew we were pregnant. We revised names when we found out, but still stuck with the same names. If we have anoter baby and it's a girl we will use the original girls name we had picked out for years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78476 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:45:30 +0000 katdevargas 78476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a first name for a girl picked out before I met husband - it's a family name &amp; I really wanted my future little girl {if I had one} to have this specific name. we picked out the middle name together sometime in the first trimester, I think? husband picked out the boy name - I'm still not positive what it is, honestly. he shared all the ones that he liked with me &amp; I liked them all too, so I told him to have at it since I'd picked out the other. we do have a middle name for a boy picked out, though, that we chose together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78467 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:35:36 +0000 chopsuey 78467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on a name about 2 weeks before I gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78454 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:05:35 +0000 yoursilverlining 78454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on a boy’s name very early on (family name). Of course, turns out LO is a girl ;-)<br /> I’m almost 25 weeks and we have a running list of about 5-10 names we like (but really only 3-4 “top” names). We never really talk about names for her right now, and I think we’re just going to try to narrow it down to 2 or 3 and see which one fits her once she is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78453 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:05:32 +0000 LuLu Mom 78453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had 2 boy names picked out since we were dating, however one we are not sure of anymore due to a friend using it for her girl. </p> <p>I had a girl name picked out before we met &amp; he was on board with it until we got pregnant, and now he doesn't like it. So we are seaching for a girl name, not the easiest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78452 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:04:02 +0000 eeh 78452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had talked about names before I was pregnant and had a girls name we loved. I didn't know it was officially "the name" if it's a girl until a few weeks ago when I mentioned another possibility and my poor husband looked so offended and like he might cry because he is attached to the name if this baby is a girl. Boy's names...we have 3 or 4 but haven't made a decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78450 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:00:52 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 78450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started talking about baby names after we got married. When we started TTC we decided we didn't want to use those anymore so we started over. Almost a year later we haven't conceived, but we have finally decided on one baby name for a boy and one for a girl. It was hard to come to an agreement so I don't think we will be changing our minds again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78439 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:55:34 +0000 BananaPancakes 78439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>31 weeks here, and still no name. I don't even feel like we're close yet. It's hard work when you and your husband prefer completely different styles in naming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78385 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:36:39 +0000 littleveesmommy 78385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a whole list of names picked out before we were married (dated since high school so we were together for 10 years before our wedding), but slowly the names were crossed off as they were taken by friends or became too popular. When I got pregnant I was set in a girls and outs name, but he began having second thoughts. We ended up choosing a new girl name after we found out the gender at the 20-week scan. Shortly after we decided on a boy name for the next one but no second girl name yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78383 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:33:39 +0000 mamabolt 78383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 22 weeks now and we're about 90% sure on our daughter's name. I know I"ll have second thoughts though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78381 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:24:02 +0000 mediagirl 78381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided on a first name after our 18 week u/s where we found out the baby was a girl. We came up with our middle name later after pursuing baby books. We thought we had my middle name set for her but it didn't go with her first name so we had to change that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78380 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:13:02 +0000 lilteacherbee 78380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started dating in high school and we picked names then, but they've changed. We decided on the names we have now 1-2 years ago I think, and we are just starting to TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78373 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:29:17 +0000 SugarplumsMom 78373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read through 3 baby books , one of them repeatedly to figure out names. We had two girls names narrowed down before we found out the gender (although everyone had a hunch it was a girl, husband included). </p> <p>As soon as the midwife said it was a girl, one of the names just popped out and my first thought was that. DH has been wanting to call her by her name since then and we have =) Although we haven't announced it yet and no one knows except for my cousin who's having twins around the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78370 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:43:04 +0000 tequiero21 78370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm 33 weeks and we've narrowed down the names for the girl and boy. but nothing set in stone yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78365 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 01:04:58 +0000 MamaCate 78365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 32 weeks for us too. We didnt talk a lot about namesuntil after the 20 week ultrasound when we found out the gender. We are both stubborn so it took a whhile to agree, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78363 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 00:47:16 +0000 lemondrop 78363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We settled on a name around 32 weeks- we had to see him on the 3D/4D ultrasound to be sure it was the right name for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78350 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:24:49 +0000 cyneswith 78350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had a girl's name picked out for ages, and a second girl's name. We started discussing a second boy's name this weekend, which altered our preference for the first's name. As to when: I hope I'm pregnant this cycle - I had to buy new bras because I'm up over a cup size in the past week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78347 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:10:53 +0000 pastemoo 78347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I didn't meet my husband till 7 or 8 years after high school, and currently haven't chosen any name for any gender babies.<br /> BUT my husband has a boy's name picked out. No girls' names though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78345 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:02:44 +0000 skibobrown 78345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a girl's name that I like before I got pregnant. I ran it by DH once I started my 2nd trimester, and he liked it too -- so we decided to go with it. If we were having a boy, things were going to be much more difficult b/c we were having a really difficult time coming up with a name that we both really liked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78343 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:55:48 +0000 photojane 78343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: same here! we've talked about our babies since high school :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78342 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:54:11 +0000 pastemoo 78342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: My BIL and SIL were the same-- they have had them picked out since HS (they were dating in high school). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78341 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:52:43 +0000 pastemoo 78341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... 27 weeks and we still haven't agreed on a name. Still a little concerned that his name will be the name my husband picked out for his son before he even met me. I don't like the name, but I also don't like fighting about names and the fact that he can't come up with anything but that names and names that sound 90% identical to our 2 month old nephew's name. </p> <p>If baby came out tonight, we'd have a name fight in the hospital I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78338 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:09:42 +0000 MsMamaBear 78338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He had the boy's name and I the girl name's name, had both by 20wks, although we didn't find out the sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78328 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:44:10 +0000 photojane 78328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're not even pregnant yet, and we have our names picked out. in fact, we've had these names since before we were even married! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-pick-your-babys-name#post-78326 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 21:41:18 +0000 leelee 78326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We picked out a name for LO about a week after we found out we were having a girl.
