At what stage of your pg did you start discussing / finally agree?

We started discussing names the day after my 2nd trimester scan once we knew that we were having a boy (although I'd already got a short list and had sounded a few names out beforehand, only to have them shot down in flames).

I'm finding it quite stressful as DH has very strong opinions on every name that I suggest but no suggestions of his own. It doesn't help that he doesn't want to decide on a name (or buy anything) until a lot nearer my due date as he thinks that doing these things will make it harder to cope "if anything happens". I'm only 23.6 for now so we have plenty of time but I'd quite like to settle on a name and stop calling the poor little bugger 'Tadpole'.

37 weeks, still haven't discussed it at all.

Think the time has come to get the name book out or bump will remain that for life.

With DC1, I insisted that we drew up a list at about 25wks. The day before DC's arrival, we had a shortlist of 4 girls names and no boys names - just as well baby was a girl. We agreed on her name a few hours after she was born.

With DC2, bounced around a few ideas but didn't agree on any! We agreed on his name a couple of hours after birth also.

DS was 10 weeks prem and we hadn't discussed names at all. We finally decided on his first name when he was 1 month old, by which time it had become a running joke amongst the nurses in his NICCU ward.

DD is due in 2 weeks. We have had some brief discussions from about 30 weeks, most initiated by me, and now have a short list. As often seems to be the case on this thread, DH is happy to veto, but reluctant to actually suggest anything!

Middle names for both DC were easy to pick, as have family significance.

Had long lists for both sexes before finding out sex at 20wk scan.
Kept narrowing down until had 2 first names at about 7 months. Can't remember exactly when settled on one.
Middle name was decided a few weeks before he was born.

We had a girl's names from the start. We were still discussing boys names in the car on the way to the hospital - and I was so convinced I was having a girl I wasn't that bothered.

We had a boy.

I got to choose the name ;)

With our 1st we had a short list of 3 boys and 3 girls before the 20wk scan and as soon as we knew we picked from the list. For our 2nd I'm 40+2 and she has no name yet (I'm hoping when she arrives we'll just 'know')

Baby due in 5 weeks and I think we've had one very brief conversation so far (literally only mentioned about 3 names, none of which DH liked!)

Had decided before the 20 week mark, can't remember when exactly. We had picked out names for both sexes as we didn't know what we were having. DS ended up being named after one of my ex-husband's friends as we both really liked the name.

All four of mine were after the birth. I think the quickest we named one was Day 3. Slowest was 3 weeks. Didn't discuss at all beforehand, had a few vague ideas, but none of those cane to fruition.

Discussed the whole way through. Decided on two of each about 4 wks before, decision made once ds made his appearance.

DD1 we picked her name before we even TTC. During the pregnancy I heard another name I really liked and stored it away for the future...

Then named DD2 that three years later

Started discussing around 14 weeks. Girls name decided when 17 weeks. Could not agree on a boys name.

We had a boy

We chose his name when he was 5 days old and poorly in hospital and announced when he was 7 days as it took two days to be sure.

DS1 - was named the day after he was born. We were convinced we were having a girl and didn't have a boy's name picked out.

DS2 - we chose his name after the 20 week scan when we found out he was a boy. We gave him a name we loved that we had been considering giving to DS1 as a middle name, but eventually decided to keep in reserve in case we had another boy, and I'm glad we did.

DS3 - was named immediately after the 20 week scan as well. First name picked easily, then it took another few weeks to find the right middle name.

We didn't ever argue over names, just seem to have the same taste.

DC1 we had a girl name picked fairly early on, certainly by about 30 weeks. Didn't decide on a boy's name, luckily she turned out to be a girl.

DC2 we knew she was a girl but had a list of around 5 names when she was born. A week later we picked a name that wasn't on a list.

DC3 (in utero) we are pretending it isn't happening because we hate choosing names...

During labour. ..dp started a complicated vote system on a list of names, we all had allocated points for each name including the midwives, it took my mind off the contractions

We had a decision made by about 30 weeks or so, earlier I think with dd1. We had one boys name and one girls name & we didn't move from them. I think we had a shortlist of around 5 up to then, then we just picked our favourite.

Had ideas long before I was pregnant then a shortlist early in the pregnancy. I knew which one I wanted from the beginning and dh agreed with me the week before he was born!

We agreed on a name for a dd about 3 years ago. I liked a name that is also a song, but dh preferred another. On a long drive with about 300 songs on the iPod he said that if the dong was in the next 5 to play then we could have it. As he stopped speaking it started playing!

During labour

Can't remember start- I'd been making baby name lists since I was in primary school!

I was still dithering at the registry office!

DD1 Not until she was in my arms immediately after labour! We'd talked about it but really we were a bit stumped and we were pretty young so trying to please everyone. It's a lovely name but possibly could have been a bit more adventurous!

DD2 about 3/4 of the way through the pregnancy. It's a name that we'd joked about at first but it actually grew on us until she couldn't be anything else. Really pleased with her name!

DD3: Probably decided last week and it's the same thing, a name that we'd kind of joked about but has grown on us. I don't know if she'll actually end up being called that as she's not here quite yet.

DS1- had name picked 7 years before we started TTC. Changed our minds completely as the name felt chavvy by then. Decided on name by 7 weeks but kept saying that it couldn't be that easy to decide. Still love his name. DD I had decided on a name that early as we'll but took a lot longer to convince DH ! DS2 had us arguing for months.....
Still happy with the names that we chose

DH and I discussed names long before ttc!
