Baby names getting me down now

Still have 4 weeks to go and then obviously a few weeks after he is here but people seem to want to talk to me constantly about what I am going to call my baby. I think about it a lot as well thought I try not distract myself.
It doesn't help that I feel really disconnected from this pregnancy anyway and I think him not having a name isn't helping with the not feeling bonded issue.

We didn't name our son until he was an hour old.
We couldn't decide.
We decided to have a short list of about 3 names and waited until we knew what he looked like.

People asking what your calling him is just making general convo as it's probably one of the easiest questions to ask other than how long you have left

Take the pressure off it, get a list you both love and see what baby looks like.

We couldn’t make our 3rd child until the very last minute of the registration date. We stood outside and flipped a coin to decide. So hard!

Just tell everyone you're calling him Harry or something, just to give yourself some room to think.
We didn't name our children until well after they were born (2 weeks?).
People do seem get a bit funny if you haven't chosen a name by the moment they pop out.
