When did you decide on the name?

[Graey]

38 weeks pregnant and we still haven’t come up with a name for our baby girl 💓
We have a shortlist of 4 names but my husband and I are just going around in circles 😵‍💫

was it obvs when your baby was born they just suited one of your names? Or had you decided the name before baby was born?

I’m really over thinking

thank you x

Chose a name mid pregnancy then realised just in time it was insanely popular and binned it a week before she was born. So glad the first class I went 4 babies had the name I nearly picked. The name we chose is absolutely perfect Dd now 18 and agrees.

This has made me feel so much better as I'm feeling the same OP. I'm only 22 weeks just now with DC 2 but with our first we had her name picked and I've just always liked it. With this baby we've made a short list a few times and there's so many girls names I like but none that I love as much as our first girls name.

I always think it’s worth asking the MW what names are popular as they can be very regional. One name that was popular nationally a few years ago was so popular in our area that I was beginning to think it had been made compulsory.

DD - agreed both a boy and girl name when I was about 5 weeks pregnant, DS - done the same before I even got pregnant (the boy name was different to what we would have called DD if she'd been a boy) 😆.

Probably the easiest decisions we've ever made!

Day I found out the gender. It was the first name that popped into my head and just felt right. It's not a name I ever thought I would pick and spent the next few months debating it & other thinking it. Then she came and the name was perfect. I couldn't imagine her as anything else....

Definitely some strong hormones at work 😅

About a week after son was born - we just couldn't agree.
