I'm 25 weeks pg with DC3....we have ALWAYS had problems with boys names throughout each pregnancy..(So far I have 2 girls so its not been a problem)..
However I'm convinced my run of girls will probably come to an end (I've been convinced they were both boys...)
We have a girls name, set in stone and we LOVE it...
We have a boy's middle name set in stone, again we love it (but it will not work as a first name with our surname)...
My Dh appears to HATE all boys names...he is the world's least "outlandish" person so I've suggested everything I can think of from traditional to "fairly modern" and "mid range"....
And all he has come up with is a "that'll do" and "I hate that one the least"...
There is nothing wrong with the chosen name (Charlie) but I don't "love" it and he doesn't "love" it - it just seems to be the one the he dislikes the least..
There are other boys names that I love more but he isn't world renowned for compromising (so I can't suggest that maybe we go with something I love as at least one of us won;t be ambivilent to it).
I AM quite hormonal but its upsetting me a little - the thought of this teeny weeny precious bundle having a name that neither parent really loves, they just "don't hate as much as the rest".
(DD1's name was really my choice but she suits it perfectly, DD2's name was chosen as it was DH's father's favourite girls name and they had no girl - it suits her and is ver much her name but at the time I didnlt 100% love it...)
We aren;t really big on "wait and see what he looks like" - I'm a slight planning and control freak and I want to know the absolutes, set in stone in advance...
My DDs call my bump Frisky (after a hamster in DD1's favourite book) and I suspect if he is a boy he'll be Frisky forever...!!
