DH just brought up names so we had a ten minute conversation and in that time managed to come up with a full girls name and full boys name that we both love.
Feel slightly cheated as I was quite looking forward to thinking up names!

Yep! We knew our girl's name pretty early, just needed to fill in the middle. As for boys, we had ideas already but I wasn't sold on what he liked. Good thing she's a girl
-
We had an easy time with our girl names. We've never been able to fully agree on a boy name, and we've been talking names since we first for pregnant three years ago!
-
It takes us longer than ten minutes to decide what to have for dinner...
-
Hehe. We agreed on a girl name pretty quickly. A boy name was tougher... and of course we had a boy for our first kid and it took us a while to agree on a first name... we had his middle name all ready pretty easily.
I think it's sweet how on the same page you and your DH are!
Very cute!
-
Are you going to share? I want to hear!
DH and I have opposite ideas for names. Hopefully one day we will agree! I'm slowly getting him to agree to what I like...
-
It was really easy and we only had one name for my first daughter. It was harder to come up with a second girl name though. We debated back and forth between 2 names up until the end for DD2.
-
@Raindrop: it's really strange because personality wise we are total opposites!
@Crystal: We are keeping it secret in real life but I don't mind sharing here. I'm half French so we wanted a French first name and classic English middle name: Benoit Michael (Pronounced Ben-wah) and Amelie Rose for a girl. -
@Andrea: yeah, I can imagine coming up with one for #2 could be harder!
-
@Snowdrop: love your name choices! Are you finding out what you'll be having?
-
It took us a year to agree on a boys name! I imagine if we had gotten pregnant right away and had a boy he wouldn't have had a name when he was born.
-
Our girl name was really easy. I had one name I liked, he was iffy about, then I saw another one I really liked and said, How about C__? He thought about it, suggested the exact same middle name I was thinking about, and we were done! We were team green and talked forever about boys names and never fully committed to one, but she was (well, still is) a girl!
-
We agreed on a girl's name really easily. Luckily, we then found out we were having a girl. I don't know what we'll do next time around if we have a boy. Boy names were a lot harder for us to agree on.
-
I'm not pregnant yet, but I know it won't be easy for us to decide on names! We've been talking baby names for a long time now, and rarely, rarely agree.
-
@Crystal: we will be, I couldn't be team green I think I would be upset about the baby I didn't have if that makes sense?
@skibobrown: I agree, I really only like the one boy name, it was lucky DH came up with it on is own and I was like 'wow, that is what I had in mind'! -
We agreed on a boy's name really easily. We had a more difficult time with girl names. Luckily, we had a boy!
-
It took up until I was being wheeled away for the c-section to commit to a name for E! This time, we mulled it over for about 20 minutes and came up with a top choice boy and girl name, since we're Go Team Green! They may evolve, but I think it is almost easier having a jumping off point.
-
We agree on a couple girl names, but neither of us has come up with a boy name we both love.
-
Yup, we agreed within one conversation.
-
Ha, no. We didn't decide on DD's name until about an hour after she was born. But we did have a boy name going in since we were
.
-
Yes! We came up with a girl name really quickly, while a boy name wasn't coming so easily- fortunately we're having a girl!
I was actually a little worried that we decided too quickly, but even after going through name lists and considering other names, we just didn't like anything as much as our agreed-upon name (there are a few that I love and he doesn't, and vice versa, so those are all out).
A middle name is a bit more of a conversation, but I think we've just about hit on that, so we're hopefully all good! I'm just hoping that it fits her when we finally meet her!
-
Yea, we were definitive and certain, knew what we wanted.
-
Sort of but because dh only likes a couple of all the ones I've suggested for our next kiddo. There's no "this is our long list let's narrow it down." He just says "that one." The end. Lol.
-
we agreed on our lo's name on about our 3rd date, and we have picked out three boys names and two more girls names for our future babies. and whenever we think of any new name we immediately agree! so yeeeaaah we have never had a hard time agreeing!
-
No. It took forever. I started early this time because of how difficult it was last time and have a pretty good idea of the name options for this LO.
-
DH didn't really have a boys name he liked. He had one but agreed it didn't sound good with our last name. So I got to pick it and he liked it.
If we had had a girl it would've been tougher. We really didn't love any girl names. -
We tossed names around for a little while, but as soon as we added K's name to our list, we had agreed/decided within the week.
-
Yes, we agreed on it during our very first name conversation! Just super easily came across names we both loved.
The second time around? We debated for months. Ugh. I still feel like DH doesn't really love it...but I do! And he's just being stubbornly stuck on a name I don't like at all. We both like the one we've decided on, but I think his favorite is still lingering. Sigh.
-
We had lists and a final 2 for months. We pretty much decided 3 weeks before she was born but gave ourselves the space to change our mind if she didn't look like that name. But we were pretty in sync with our favorites and naming styles.
-
We had our names (boy and girl option) picked out like a year before ttc, lol (we were waiting ttc for a long time bc of career stuff!). I think it was a pretty easy decision, dh can be really decisive. I think I thought about my list for a really long time and then he narrowed it down quickly
-
DH had 2 ideas for girl names and I liked them right away. We're having trouble with boy names but there are a few potentials that we agree on so far.
-
We decided on a boy's name pretty quickly, we never found a girl's name we could agree on. Good thing we had a boy.
-
We had a short list of names pre-gender scan, we narrowed down to two pretty easily once we knew that our lo was a boy
-
We agreed on a girl's first name super easily. Couldn't really agree on a boy's name. Luckily, we had a girl!
-
Boy names came very easy to us, we have similar tastes in those names. Girls names...not so much!
-
We had our boy name before we even got married. It's a family name. We decided to not even discuss girl names seriously under after the gender scan. No need to "fight" about a name that wouldn't happen. We had a boy so it all worked out.
Now I have girl name I love but can't think of a 2nd boy name I love as much as DS's name.
-
It was easy for us too. I always knew I wanted his middle name to be my dad's name, which my husband was cool with. For the first name, I had a favorite that I suggested pretty early on in my pregnancy. My husband liked it, but we decided not to decide for sure until baby was born--we ended up going with the name and we both love it. No arguments or angst surrounding the decision.
-
We've already agreed on a girl's name but nothing for a boy's name yet. It's actually scary how easy we agreed on it.
-
We agree easily, but have a hard time thinking of ones either of us like. Which, I suppose, is preferable over having lots we like and not being able to agree, but it's frustrating.
