Did anyone find it harder naming last baby?

[FrederickSinclair]

With DC1, we had a list of names we liked and then from around the beginning of the third trimester, one of them just felt right so we provisionally named him that with a few back ups just incase he didn't suit it when he was born.

This time round, it is our last baby, and all of a sudden I feel like it's so much harder to pick just one more name. I think with DC1 we often thought 'that's a nice name, we might use that next time' but now all of a sudden there won't be a next time and this is our last chance to use a name. And so now all names don't feel good enough!

(And if you have any boys name suggestions, feel free to drop them here )

How do you know it’s the last baby?

Yes much harder and we couldn't agree at all. I also spent over a year doubting my daughter's name and wishing I'd pushed harder for my favourite (still wish I had and she's 2 now!) and gutted I won't get to use the name that I loved for years. We are def not having any more as was our third and DH has had snip since lol.

Yes!! Number 4 was a nightmare to name. I still kind of wish we’d gone with a different one... and I also am still slightly sad we won’t ever have little Rosie- the girls name that we didn’t need since he was a boy!

Rosie is such a sweet name! I have so many girls names I love but boys names seem so much harder. I will have to get some chickens or something to use my girls names on

My son is called micah (my-cah). I also like the name Luca and Benjamin. I'm struggling this time round too. Particularly with girl names. Do you care to share you're list?

Your list*

I like Benjamin too but it has already been well used in our families! Here are my girls names:

Dorothy
Martha
Edith
Meredith
Charlotte
Phoebe
Tabitha
Alice
Bethan

I found the last baby really hard to name.He was my 5th boy,so kind of running out of options.I like what we picked,even though it was a name we didnt like for our first.

Yes me , were on our third boy and last baby (I think lol) the first 2 boys names were chosen from about 12 weeks and we never waived ! This time im being induced in 16 days and still can't decide. I think it feels so much more important this time and I have no idea why ?

We found it a lot harder naming DS3, but I think that was mostly because we’d already used our favourite boys names.
