are/were you worried that you and your SO won't/wouldn't find a name you love as much as your first LO's name? DH isn't concerned but I am. We went back and forth with girl names so many times.

-
Nah, we have three girls and were able to find three awesome names even have them all starting with the letter A
-
A little bit but we love both names.
-
If we have multiple boys, I don't think it'll be a problem. We have sooo many boy names we love!
Girl names on the other hand have been harder for us... We have one girl's name we love and one we like but not as much as the first. If we had a third girl I don't know what we'd do lol!
-
No. Our list now is so much different than when we were expecting LO. I'm sure we'll find something we both like.
-
@pui: I'm the opposite! We have NO boy names, so I think we'd struggle with multiple boys. We already have a definite first girl name, and a definite second girl first name. I don't worry about girl names at all, but boys? Totally overwhelmed.
-
I'm expecting a second son right now. And honestly, I don't love his name as much as I do my 1st son's name. However DS2 will have family names so I do like that. But I'm pretty picky on names and only had a couple I liked.
-
Already have one! We found it while we were researching E's middle name. Now, we have no middle name, but i feel meh about that.
-
@blackbird: I feel like I know someone who has a middle name and her sibling doesn't...
-
Yes. DH doesn't like any other names that I like.
-
We never were able to settle on a boy's name the first go around, and I'm more worried about that than I am finding one we like as well as DD's. It's hard to compare to her name anyway when it's now so intertwined with my love for her.
-
No, I think DH is worried, but I have several girl names I like. I'm more worried about us agreeing on a girl name in general. We went back & forth with E's name for months!
-
Not worried at all. We got down to a top 5 we really genuinely loved and we're still working on picking the final one. I feel like there are tons of great names out there to choose.
-
Nope, we love our DD's name and if #2 is a girl we love her name just as much!
-
Nope! I've already got a list of names for #2 that I love. I'm actually more concerned about the middle name. I gave LO my maiden name as her middle name, and I have no idea what we'll do for a second girl. Give her the same middle name? Choose a family name from DH's side? Who knows.
-
Yes! Our sons name is so unique and perfect and we just aren't sure how to equal it. We are also very pretty convinced we will have another boy so I'm really trying to brainstorm.
-
Our first is going to be a girl, and we're using a name we absolutely love and had in mind for like a year before we ttc. We have a boy name picked out too, but if our next is another girl we'll definitely have some trouble. We had another girl name we loved (actually we hadn't decided between the 2 names for awhile) but a close friend used it so it's (most likely) off the table. I have other names I really do love, but I don't think dh really thought about names beyond the ones we already decided on so we'd have to discuss again!
-
I felt bad that LO2 ended up with our runner up name for LO1. But we both really liked the name and now that she's here Im glad we got to use the second name.
-
@Bookish: my brother and I both have my mom's middle name as our maiden name (and it's my mom's middle name now too) and I always loved sharing it with them! Our daughter's middle name is actually going to be the same maiden name as well (our next lo will have my maiden name as his/her middle) so I like that we'll have the same middle name connecting us!
-
Our daughter has the same middle name as I do. I don't know if we have another daughter if she'll also have that same middle name or do we change it up?
-
Yeah, I really love DS1's name, but am still meh on DS2's name (and he's almost 4 months old, so it's not like we're changing it!)
It's ok. I still adore the kid, I'm just meh on his name -
@nana87: Ooh neato! Thanks for weighing in
I worry that she'll be annoyed at sharing a name, but I'm glad to hear it doesn't have to turn out that way haha
-
We have names we love just as much (boy and girl) should we have a number 2.
-
Nope, we have plenty of girls names we love!
-
@Bookish: haha, yeah, when I was little I think I was bummed that I didn't have a "fun" middle name since it's a last name, but I never was bothered by sharing it! And clearly I grew out of wanting a more standard, first-name type of middle name since I like it now and am doing the same thing to my kids
-
@Bookish: I know a family with two girls and they both share a middle name with their mom and they all love it. It is such a sweet secret club type of thing for them.
We haven't picked a name for the first one yet but I do worry about deciding I love names with very different styles that don't fit well, like a gender neutral girls name and then a super girly one.
-
Yes, I worry because hers is a family name and I don't know if we have enough family names that we like to do that for all our kids.
-
@T.H.O.U.: same!
-
We have a name picked out if our second is a girl. We've been going with biological names for the first and something pretty to go with it (Hyla Sophia for our first, and if we have another girl, Aster Caroline)
-
A little. I had the Hoglets name picked out before we even got married. He just happened to love it too. Not sure what we will do if we have another girl. Hell, we couldn't even come close to a boys name when we thought she was going to be a he!
-
My taste in names changes frequently, so I am not worried
-
My toddler is a girl and we were team green for #2 so I was excited to pick names and found it easy to find ones that sort of matched with D1's.
-
Nope, we already have another great name for a future dd.
-
It was really hard to find another girl name, ya!
-
Yes. at first I liked my first lo's name more.... but lo #2s name grew on me.
-
I was VERY worried about this, but with the opposite gender - DH and I both like tons of girl names, but our son's name was really the boy one we agree on. I've been trying to get him to discuss names with me for awhile, but he's not really into deciding while we're still TTC. So now that I finally got my BFP we're starting to seriously discuss it. He's been coming around to one of my favorites that he dismissed last time though, so that's exciting! And we've found one other name that we both like, although I'm not sure I'm in love with it.
-
Nope. My husband and I both love our LO's name... but it's not a name I had ever considered before being pregnant. So I'm sure that we could think of something else we love just as much if the need arose.
-
DD's name was a total dark horse candidate after months of batting around the same names and not *loving* any of them. Unfortunately, we used our second choice name as her middle name (something that gave me great pause at the time because I wanted to save it in case we had another girl). We had a terrible time picking girls names, so imagine my shock when DH came to me a couple of months ago with a girl name he loved. Thank you!!! If we have a second girl, she would be Sabrina Rose.
-
Nope. We have two other strong contenders for another girl.
-
Nope, we've already picked out a name for another boy. It wasn't even on LO 's list, we just fell in love with it recently.
