Extreme frustration setting in!!

I'm just venting here....

I can't even begin to tell you how hard a time we're having with choosing a name for this . We talk about it almost every day and just cant agree on one. The problem is that neither of us are in love with any particular name. I just spent the last two hours looking at a 'baby names' message board for some inspiration but really came out of it in the same place---completely and utterly undecided and lost!

Anyone else having as hard a time as us?? Sometimes I wish I was one of those girls who has known what her childrens names would be since she was like 10 years old. Urgh.

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

it might help to see your and then maybe a name will just fit?!?!?

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

I agree... inspiration will come when you look into your beautiful baby girl's eyes...do you have a list narrowed down?

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

DH rejected everything I liked and I didn't care for the few names he suggested. We didn't know what we were having, which made it even worse since we had to come up with two sets of names. We finally started going through a baby book when I was 36 weeks and came up with a short list of names. We didn't pick a final name until right after DS was born. Don't worry. You'll find a name you both love.

We're having the same problem with boys names. he wants something italian which i dont mind, but I dont like anything he comes up with. I love more modern boys names, he hates them. i told him we'll put it on the backburned until we find out if we even NEED to worry about boys names!

at least we decided on a girls name in 1 day!

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

we've got a boy's name but just can't find one for a girl either. but i figure we'll think of one eventually if we have to (we find out the sex on 3/9). for some reason girls' names were hard for us last time too.

you've got plenty of time. as hard as it is, i really would try not to stress about it. the more pressure you put on yourself to find a name you like, the less appealing the names will be to you, imo.

maybe take a break from looking so hard? i would leave the issue behind for a while and embrace the uncertainty. i'm sure that, with time, a name will come to you that you will love.

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

We have 3 possible girl names (all family names) and a boy will be named after DH's father unless we can come up with something we like/agree on.

I don't even mind naming a after DH's father (even though I don't love the name), I'd just like to have another one in mind.

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

Same problem here. The name was easy but the name DH and i just can't agree on. I have made lists on 10 boys name each and he has gone through 5 of my lists!! If we end up having a im afraid he will be namless when he comes!

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

Problem with us is... i love a whole bunch of names... DH hates them all. Then we finally come to an agreement on names, and he doesn't want to SPELL it the same way i do. Yes, spell it. Like c'mon, give me something here...lol

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

We are having a hard time coming up with a boys name! We are on team so we need both names. But we can only agree on a girl's name.

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

we have 2 names but can't agree on

Re: Extreme frustration setting in!!

We had that trouble too. No problem with a boy name but the girl name it was so hard. So once we found out we were having a girl then we really started to think and I just happened to be in a children boutique and found the name I wanted well part of it.
