picking names is so hard!!

A friend lent me the book of 100,000+ baby names and I think it's causing more confusion than anything! There are so many lovely names out there but nothing "feels right." DH and I have one boy name that we like (and we will use if it's a boy) and 2-3 girl names that we like but I don't completely love any of them Chat Icon

I don't really care about popularity or uniqueness or anything like that so I'm not particularly limiting myself... when I say girls names, nothing really feels like it's "the one" (like a wedding dress haha)

anyone else struggle with choosing names? what do we do?!

Re: picking names is so hard!!

yup! we know we are having a boy and cannot pick a name. we had 5 girls names we loved and 0 boys names. of course its a boy!!!

i've actually been pretty upset about it. im the same and dont care about popularity, etc.

good luck.

Tell me about it!! At 29 weeks we don't have a single boy name we agree on! I have a few I like and so does DH,but we don't have any we both like. So here's to hoping its a girl so this poor child doesn't have to be nameless! With DS it was the opposite...we had no girl names. It really is hard naming a baby!!

yea there is just so many to choose from and its hard to agree!

We are 3 days from our due date and havent picked a boy name yet- we have our girl name ready (team green)

we were team green last time too and picked our ds's name literally 3 days before I went into labor

somehow it all comes together lol

we were team... were 99% convinced it was a boy. had a great boy name picked out we loved loved loved.

i kept saying 'if its a girl, we're going to fight about the name at the hospital' and we absolutely did when SHE came out.

we had to narrow it down all over again and i ended up letting my husband win on the actual name if he agreed to use my nickname choice for her which is what she is called 100% of the time.

(So really I won Chat Icon )

Omg forget about it! Before we knew if it was a boy or girl, we had a boy name picked out and lo and behold, it's a girl. It took us FOREVER to pick a name. DH was set on one that it nice, but way too popular for my taste.

Give it some time, it will come to you!
