I don't care what the baby's name is

Is this normal/ has anyone else felt this way?

DH and I have a DD, we agonized over her name my entire pregnancy, it took forever and we picked a name we both absolutely love.
Pregnant with DS now, and I just sort of don't care. I don't feel the same way about picking his name at all, DH has picked some options and they're all fine, nothing I'm too excited about. I guess I feel bad, but I also deep down feel that boys names are all quite boring (and interchangeable).
I'm obviously happy and feel blessed to have a DS join our family and love him already! Have started to buy clothes, get the room ready etc. Just don't feel any way about the name :/

I was so apathetic about naming ds. I just didnt have a love name. I had about 4 for dd.

In the end dh had one or two names he really loved so I just agreed to the one I preferred of the two.

Even now I dont love ds name in the same way I do dds. Everyone I know who knows his name absoloutley loves it so hopefully he will/does too.

I agree sounds like you just haven't found the right name yet

Maybe it's because you haven't come across the right name yet
