Secretly, I've been thinking of baby names since the 6th grade! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-132860 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 12:39:01 +0000 erwoo 132860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both boys, we named them at the hospital. With #2, we pretty much decided the day we were discharged b/c we didn't want to do his SSN and birth certificate ourselves so had to pick a name. Boy names are so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-132753 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 10:04:35 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 132753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been thinking about names since i found i was pregnant. But not too seriously. DH thinks we need to wait until we find out the gender which i agree. Once we know if we need a boy or girl name, we will probably start discussing it more seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-132638 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:39:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 132638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We casually talked about names before I was even pregnant, but now I am 37 weeks and we still don't have a name picked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-132637 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:37:41 +0000 Grace 132637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started playing with names when we were still dating. Mind you, it wasn't very serious - he kept throwing out names like Tibor and Filbert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-132408 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:38:30 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 132408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started talking about them when we started TTC. We have a couple that we like. Now we just need the baby. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-132393 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:29:56 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 132393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We picked out our boy name when we were dating/engaged! haha. We are still working on our girl name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-132347 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 16:42:06 +0000 mrsjyw 132347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I've had a list going since NTNT. It changes regularly... he has an app on his iPad that he consults every once in a while :P I think we'll be more serious about it after the anatomy scan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-132344 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 16:39:47 +0000 winniebee 132344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH brought up names around the 12 week mark...then we talked a little more about names before our anatomy scan....then we found out the gender but didn't talk names for awhile again....now I'm almost 35 weeks and we still haven't decided! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-131883 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 11:54:26 +0000 TheFixIts 131883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a boy name from well before we started TTC. The girl name likely won't be settled for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-131152 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:59:55 +0000 Rosie Girl 131152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had names picked out before we even started trying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-131147 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:58:09 +0000 BSB 131147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple months after we were married which is about a year before we planned on TTC. TTC got pushed off so, we have casually talked about names for about 2 years now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129332 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:10:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 129332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had 2 boy names before we were pregnant, but we had 2 friends use one of the boy names so we have decided on the other (which was my favorite.) I think we have a girl name narrowed down, but DH still isn't 100% sure he's in love with it. </p> <p>I think we are having a boy (and so does DH) so maybe we won't have to worry about a girl! haha if so I hope he goes with the one I have loved for years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129325 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:06:17 +0000 heffalump 129325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We came up with LO's name if she were a girl or boy during my first trimester. It wasn't too hard because we wanted a family name, and we wanted it to be someone we know so we could tell LO stories about who she was named after. So we wrote a list of all of our deceased grandparents and great grandparents and DH picked his favorite. I love old people names so I loved them all! </p> <p>If the next is a boy we'll pick the name that we chose for LO if she were a boy, and we've already discussed options for the next girl, but it's not final. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129323 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:05:58 +0000 MsLipGloss 129323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaGirl: I also had an amnio, and got the final results a few days after the u/s, so she is fo sho a girl :D. But I totally agree - you can never be too sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129315 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:03:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 129315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we were pregnant! But then once we were, we changed route. Finding names is tough... seeing its FOREVER! but I'm happy with both our choices (Mavrick and Sienna) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129314 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:03:14 +0000 prettylizy 129314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 5 years ago! Lol! DH and I talked about baby names all the time and pretty much had our boy and girl names decided before we started to TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129305 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:57:55 +0000 Alivoo01 129305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby and I started playing with names long before we thought of TTC. It was more along the lines of when we heard a name, we'd be like, oh I like that! We haven't settled on any one name yet though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129303 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:56:12 +0000 regberadaisy 129303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We talked about it after the NT scan but got serious after the anatomy scan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129299 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:53:50 +0000 tequiero21 129299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We threw names around but didn't finalize it until the babies came. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129278 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:39:49 +0000 Andrea 129278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: i think girl names are harder to pick out than boy names. too many girls in this world i do not like i guess. :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129269 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:35:41 +0000 MsLipGloss 129269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I totally thought I was having a boy--I definitely had names picked out for him. Finding out butterbean was a girl kinda threw me . . . and DH actually came up with her first name. :)</p> <p>@ChopSuey119: Thanks! I am super excited, and goodness knows she is going to be a total priss pot . . . I can't wait! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129268 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:34:50 +0000 mediagirl 129268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: We started thinking about names as soon as we found out we were pregnant. We didn't let anything stick until after the ultrasound, though. By then, we had narrowed down the girl names but had no clue on boys. Thank goodness we're having a girl!</p> <p>Oh...side note...good thing about another ultrasound - can check those three lines again, make sure they were right the other two times, as well that she is a she. :)</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: Exciting! And congrats on the girl! Girls are awesome. :)</p> <p>@Rubies: My husband wanted nothing to do with even talking about having a kid before we got pregnant. He was on board with trying to get pregnant (what man wouldn't be happy to have sex all the time?) but he didn't want to talk about it until it until I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129261 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:32:15 +0000 Andrea 129261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a boy's name just about right away but then found out we were having a girl - and I picked her name the same day. It was easy for us! I think it will be harder to name additional children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129255 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:29:29 +0000 chopsuey 129255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: OH YAY!!! :D CONGRATS!!! :D Baby girls are so much fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129248 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:26:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 129248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChopSuey119: We already know - team pink ftw! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129242 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:23:46 +0000 chopsuey 129242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: ahhhhh exciting!!!! can't wait to hear what you're having! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129209 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:08:42 +0000 Rubies 129209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pretty much had a list of names as we were TTC...And as soon as I found out I was pregnant, we already narrowed it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129206 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:07:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 129206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While we were TTC . . . although I kept it (mostly) to myself. DH would not discuss names in detail until after we knew the sex, so, I scheduled an elective u/s at 16 weeks to find out as soon as possible, and I think we decided (unofficially) on a name shortly thereafter. </p> <p>p.s. my a/s is today :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-thinking-of-names#post-129192 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 08:04:49 +0000 chopsuey 129192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and didn't come up with LO's name until a week before she was born!<br /> I'm not looking forward to having to name #2 and beyond! It's so stressful!</p> <p>I think I'll start seriously thinking about names after our anatomy scan! </p>
