DH and I've been taking a slow, slow approach to naming DS2. We didn't even have a list started until way after the anatomy scan.
I'm 28+ weeks now and randomly thought of a name that I think we both REALLY like 
Not final yet though! 
And I think we're going to keep it to ourselves until he's here!
I think we knew around 30 weeks with DS1 and was gifted a monogrammed anywhere chair around then too!

I have a name for my first, but no plans for any to follow. My sister wasn't named until she'd been out of the hospital for a week!

Before we were even pregnant. It was a girl name, so I am sooo glad it was a girl at anatomy scan!

M suggested it 2 years before she was born. I made a note of it and we ended up using it. We considered other names and only told family and that was likely going to be her name 4 weeks out.

Before she was conceived, finalized when we knew she was a girl. Settled on a middle name a few weeks after that.
We didn't tell anyone until the birth though, so nothing was monogrammed.

In the delivery room after he was born!
We don't know the sex yet, but we have a running short list for boys/girls.

We had a short list at the time I got pregnant. We officially chose a first name about 2 days after finding out the sex of the baby at 12 weeks. The middle name is what we had trouble with. We just couldn't chose one. I think I was 39 weeks when we finally had one picked out.

I have a short list and both names so far have come from there. The list was made pre-zuma.

8 hours after he was born We were team green and had two names for each sex picked out, it took us a little while to make sure our choice felt right.

1-2 days after she was born (can't remember exactly when, but I do remember that the nurses were really (nicely) pressuring us to pick a name before we left the hospital!!)

A day or two after he was born. We'd whittled it down to two options by then, at least.

We had a boy name and girl name picked out by 14 weeks.

I'd say we had LO#1's name solidified at around 30 weeks. We started calling him that when other people weren't around to get used to it and really liked it.
I'm 20 weeks and we don't even have a name that stands out to us yet. We certainly have time, but we're both having far more trouble with the second boy!

With LO1, we had one boy and one girl name picked out before I was pregnant, so it was decided as soon as we knew the gender. This time, we finalized the name about a week after we found out he was a boy.

Maybe like 6 months for DS. This kid doesn't have a name, we don't have any good ideas, and just 10 weeks to go. Poor thing will probably end up with some awful name

During the first trimester for DS. We were team green and will reuse the name for number 2 assuming we have one. We have discussed boy names and have probably decided. We aren't planning on TTC for another year.

Probably a month before for DS2

Even though we were 
we decided on the boy and girls name at 28 weeks on a long drive to the beach.
This one I think we've known for a while but we feel a little odd calling him or her her name. We've decided on it, but knowing the sex, I think we just want to wait until we meet the baby to officially name it.

We casual talked names pre-pregnancy. Then once I got pregnant, we didn't talk till we knew the gender. We were waiting for the doc after the ultrasound and we agreed then on her 1st name. Middle name wasn't 100% till she was born.

2 days after he was born! We had a few names picked out before but didn't love any of them and ended picking something completely different.

The week before my baby shower so early 30 something weeks? If we weren't forced to pick a name before then, we probably wouldn't pick one until right before birth going the rate we were. lol
However, if we have a girl next, we have her name picked out already. And if it's a boy, there's a potential name lined up also!

Really early on with DD - I think within the first trimester we were sure! We went back and forth a ton with DS... we didn't finalize it until the 3rd trimester.
