Did you have a list of names or was the decision made when you met your baby?
I have 20 weeks to go but I feel like baby #2 will never have a name I love. Names are so daunting!

We had a short list of 2-3 names and we decided when she was born. Her name was already the favorite of the short list.

We had two names in the running and decided to wait until we met him to choose his name. Even after he was born we were undecided for another hour going back and forth.

We have five names, and I'm 26 weeks. I have no idea how we'll narrow that down... we could end up coming home with a "Baby Hendricksen".

We narrowed it down to 2 names, one that DH liked and one I liked and decided when they came by with birth cert! I won

We're planning on having 2 or 3 names and then picking once she's born! It's been hard to agree. I only have one name I feel good about at this point!!!

We didn't get a short list until after 30 weeks. Then we had one girl name and two boys names.

We went in the first time (team green) with a list of 3 boy names, 3 girl names... and ended up with Robert Jr (not on the list!) the day he was born. The second time (team pink) we went in with a list of 2-3 girl names. I had a first choice that I had in mind since we got pregnant with WJ, but that name kind of fizzled and we ended up choosing between a very feminine, delicate name (Cordelia) and a stronger name with a nickname I loved (Josephine/Jodie). When she came out screaming with long nails and tears coming out of her eyes we were pretty sure she was a Josephine! But we didn't finalize it until her 3rd day of life and we had to fill out the birth certificate!

We had a short list (2-3 choices) and made the final call after my due date...but before he was born.

We had a list of names and were sure we would pick one from that list; but as soon as we saw LO we knew that none of those names fit her. It took us a couple of days to find her name

Our first name was decided on, but we were between 2 middle names. DH made the call after LO was born.
