Put names in a hat!

[Catwoman12]

So put names in a hat, picked out x2 and going to see what DS will look like and give him one of the two....

Brendan or Louis (pronounced Lewis)

Keeping names secret from people in RL so thought I'd tell you all

Anyone else have their names pre-picked?

Interesting way to choose the names. How many options were in the hat. I prefer Louis.

Very unconventional of us, i know

There were 5 names, we really could not decide, and liked all 5 names pretty much the same

Of the two I prefer Louis.

I remember a colleague telling the story in the staff room of how his name was chosen - his parents put the names on the floor and let the dog choose......

No way? That truly is bonkers

Now I want to know what the other three are!

Lewis is faaaaaaaaaar nicer than Brendan imvho.

But pronounced Loo~eey.

What were the other names?

That sounds painless. Do you secretly have a preference? Are you due soon?

Haha no secret preference, just made it easier for us to choose, without feeling like one of us got the one we wanted, made it fair and pretty fun, we were both excited with the results.

Our choices put in to the hat were;
Harry
Elliot
Jack
Brendan
Louis

All names we love, although the first two didn't go with surname as well as the others.

Well let us know what you pick

Catwoman - he's retired now, so the naming method took place years ago!

Harry and Elliot are much much nicer, Brendan is dire and Louis is nicer pronounced Loo ee

I really like Louis, although I prefer it spelt Lewis purely because when I see Louis my brain automatically pronounces it Lew-ey!

And I love Jack, if our daughter had been a boy she would have been Jack.

Funnily enough I've had my baby names picked out since I was little and it never changed! Good job OH liked them!

I knew Ds's name at 4 1/2 months pg aqnd decided on his middle name in hospital when he was two days old.
Dd was nameless for 20 days and in the end, put all the possibilities onto individual pieces of paper and got rid of the unsuitable ones until we had about 5/6 then put them in combinations until we had the three we I chose. She looks exactly like her name too!

My other DC's name was picked when I was about 21weeks so I've left it late this time

Opinions weren't asked for but each to their own! I'm very pleased with our end result

Exciting times, just a waiting game now

I love Brendan and Louis. Seems like a good option- we have about ten ideas which are all suitable for us and which we all honestly love. Might suggest doing it! Or letting the hamster choose..

Harry is lovely.

As is Elliott.

((Whispers....Brandon is a naughty boy name))

Rupreket- please don't go all Katie Hopkins on us Brendan is a lovely name in my opinion, obviously! Lol

letting the cat choose? If that's what works for you

I found the hat thing quite fun and exciting

I much prefer Louis out of those two, and IMVHO Harry, Elliot and Jack are all nicer than Brendan but each to their own, it's a good fair way to choose!

Lol catwoman.....sorry.

I work in a large primary school.......(with lots of Brandons!)

I see.

Yes yes each to their own,

Out of the 5 Brendan and Louis are by FAR the nicest..

Thank you Frik
