How long was your new born nameless?

[BubblesInMyTea]

And why?

My friend had baby 5 weeks ago and has no idea what to name her. Her older daughter has an unusual name and wants similar for this one. She has to register by June 1st!

DD arrives like the speed of light
ME: DH, is it a girl?
DH: Yes
ME: is she

Ds1 named from around 20wks
Ds2 around 4 weeks old as there were no names I liked and I thought if I was going to have an epiphany it would have happened by then. I still don't particularly like the name we chose but still haven't heard of one I would prefer and ds2 is now nearly 10wks old. I still refer to him as the baby as I can't get used to his name but that's for another thread!

About 3 hours. We had a shortlist of 4 names and I rejected 2 when I saw him. Dh chose from the 2 left as I couldn't decide. Middle name was already chose.

Both mine were named before they were born, DC1 had a name when we found out he was a boy, DC2 had the first name picked for girl or boy when we found out I was pregnant and added the middle name when I knew she was a girl

DD had a different name for the first 24 hours or so. It had been our number one choice but we both felt it didn't suit her. We chose a different name and we're very happy that we did. Name one wouldn't have been right for her.
