Not so much for boy names. It was like 10 girl names for 1 boy name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596564 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 09:52:03 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 596564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found girl names nearly impossible and it wasn't until just a week or so ago that we had any picked out. It's fine to pick a first name but it's hard to find a middle name that goes -with- the first name -and- sounds good with the last name! Even one as simple as ours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596550 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 09:48:28 +0000 Chillybear 596550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a boys name picked first and middle.... i have a on my list for girls </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596533 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 09:44:58 +0000 KayKay 596533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had 3 girl names we both really liked, so luckily LO was a girl! We did come up with a boy name just in case, but it took a long time to agree on it and it ended up being one that we were both ok with but neither loved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596437 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 09:16:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 596437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had (and still have) a boy name that came to use very easily and of course we had a girl. I like more unique names whereas my DH likes more trendy/common names for girls. We did agree but it took awhile to get there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596429 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 09:14:34 +0000 Smurfette 596429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl names! Only cause we had discussed them before getting pregnant and once we found out the gender, it was a 2 min conversation. We only talked boy names pre-TTC and could never agree on one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596399 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 09:02:06 +0000 Dandelion 596399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was having ds, it was easy to pick a boy's name. Now that I'm having a girl, it was easy to pick her name, lol. Funny how that worked out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596382 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 08:54:55 +0000 mediagirl 596382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl names! I don't know what we would have done if M had been a boy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596346 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 08:44:28 +0000 Bookish 596346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl names were wayyy easier for us. We have our gender scan today, and if it's a girl, we've got her name picked out! If it's a boy....he'll just have to wait :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596306 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 08:17:12 +0000 BelugaBean 596306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl names were easier. We had a few of those picked out. We never really settled on a boy name we liked and even now, we have a girl name for another baby but not really a boy name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596304 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 08:15:56 +0000 MsLipGloss 596304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy names are harder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596300 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 08:14:05 +0000 heffalump 596300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a boy and girl name picked out pretty easily for our first LO.</p> <p>But LO was a girl, and I realized I don't want to use the boy name because of it's popularity if our next LO is a boy, and we already have another girl name picked out (we're not even TTC yet but I'm a crazy planner!) and the boys name is harder to come up with. Good thing we have lots of time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596295 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 08:11:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 596295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first boy, at least, will be hard because DH really wants to use his own name and I really do not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596215 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 06:39:15 +0000 honeybear 596215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Names are hard, I think! But names for girls were relatively easier for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596208 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 06:17:37 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 596208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>struggled with boys names, had a boy.. now pregnant again, still no boy name choices but 3+ girl names choices.. argh! I don't know what we'll do if we have another boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596196 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 05:02:39 +0000 Cherrybee 596196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're both difficult, bordering on impossible. </p> <p>DH has hated every name I have suggested. I have hated every name he has suggested. We are left with a boy's name we're both kinda meh about and one girl's name he loves but I feel meh about and one girl's name we're both not-so-sure about. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596192 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 04:43:12 +0000 cascademom 596192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a girl name picked out while TTC. When we found out we were expecting a boy, it was a lot harder to come up with a name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596182 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 03:14:39 +0000 Sweet T 596182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy names were hard. DH didn't like anything that I suggested. We ended up choosing a really common name for J. I didn't really want something so popular but it does fit him! We've had a girl name picked since before we were pregnant with DS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596149 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 00:34:59 +0000 mrskc 596149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ton of girl names I loved and 0 boy names. I took us forever to settle on a name for our son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596146 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 00:32:58 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 596146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have nooooooo idea what we would name a boy but have like 10000 options for girls.</p> <p>My husband is stuck on Winston and it is driving me mad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596129 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 00:13:32 +0000 lilyofthewest 596129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sweetie and I aren't TTC yet, but we are talking about names. We had quite the debacle trying to agree on a name for our car last year. So, we figured we should get a head start on names for our sproglings; it isn't generally considered nice to dodge the issue by perpetually referring to them as "the kid". </p> <p>The one (and perhaps only) thing we agree on so far is that having a gender neutral name is important. We really don't want unconscious gendered expectations to affect our kiddos any more than they have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596082 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:20:42 +0000 travelgirl1 596082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: We were the opposite, we had loads of boys names we liked and no girls names at all. We finally agreed on one girl name but didn't have any back ups in case she didn't suit it. Good job we both still love it, if we ever have another girl we're screwed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-596033 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 22:42:07 +0000 lemondrop 596033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank goodness we had a boy, girl names were so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-595955 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:49:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 595955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: my DH was the aggravating one too!! No name was good enough for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-595950 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:47:19 +0000 twodoghouse 595950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO but we've been talking about names for-ev-er. I always thought girls name would be easier because there are so many I love. But it turns out my DH doesn't love the same ones as I do. So we've settled on a future boy name but I have no idea what we'd name a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-595935 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:41:45 +0000 MamaMoose 595935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl names! Hubs was sooooo much more picky with boy names! Thank Goodness M came out with girl parts or she might still be nameless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-595930 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:38:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 595930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They were both difficult but in different ways. We had a lot of trouble cutting names from our girl list, and a hard time finding boys names that met all of our criteria. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-were-easier-boy-or-girl-names#post-595921 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:33:12 +0000 lawbee11 595921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl!
