Did you have a name picked out prior to the birth? Did you stick with that name or did you change your mind several times before birth? Who picked out the name, you or baby's daddy? How did you decide on the name?
What did you name your babies?
We named our child Peyton Alexis. We couldn't agree on anything throughout most of my pregnancy. We didn't find out the babies sex beforehand so we had boy and girl names picked out. I came up with the name Peyton and my hubby didn't like it at first, but it quickly grew on him. We had a few girls names picked out including Marina and Faith, but decided on Peyton once she was born. And since Peyton can be a male or female we decided to go with a really girlie middle name and that is where Alexis came in! We definitely picked the right name, I can't imagine her name being anything else!
Reply:My husband and I fought over the name of our daughter. He wanted Lindsay and I wanted Taylor. She went 2 weeks, after she was born, without a name before we could both finally agree and settle one one. We named her Jessica.

Reply:I searched for months before I found anything I liked. I bought a few baby name books and looked online. I named my daughter Kyla and my son Matthew. And yes I stuck with the names once they were born. For my son though I had several options and he didn't look like anything but a Matthew! The baby's daddy didn't have any input, I asked him once and he just sat there and stared at me looking very clueless. So I just ended up choosing names I found and liked.

Me and my fiance picked them out when we started trying all the last names will be Herbinko
Reply:when i was in college i picked the name Mirovia for a girl because my first name is one letter off from the supercontinent before Pangea: Rodinia (mine name is actually rodina) and the ocean around Rodinia was Mirovia. and at that time i had no plans to ever have children.
i got pregnant at 26 and my husband (now ex) vetoed Mirovia right off the bat. i told him to come up with something better. then that night, i was talking to the baby in my tummy who was only a few months along and asked the baby if they were a boy or a girl. i heard a little girl voice say "i'm a girl mommie" so i asked "what is your name little girl?" and she said "megan". i asked if she liked Mirovia and she did so my first baby became Megan Mirovia. (the ex still can't spell it to this day)
the second time i got pregnant, i was 27. i liked the name Madeline possibly for a middle name because it was what i had originally picked for the first kid to go with Mirovia before she told me her name; but i just waited until the baby was a few months old in my tummy and again asked the baby if it was a boy or a girl, i got another girl response. i then asked what her name was and she told me "Manda". so my second became Amanda Madeline and we call her Manda.
my ex really didn't get much choice cause he never came up with a name on his own. he didn't really get much choice in anything now that i think of it, he was dumber than a brick and the only reason i married him in the first place was because the first time he kissed me, i knew he was going to be the father of my children, though even then i knew he wouldn't be around very long.
Reply:We started talking about names about a week after we found out I was pregnant. Took us 4 months to decide (she still has not be born yet). SHE will be Jennifer Robin, I wanted to name her after my mother and the tradition in his family is for the middle name to start with an R. So her initials will be J.R.R (hubby is B.R.R). If he had been a little boy, he would have been Brandon Adam. Was really a joint effort, we went with something we both liked.
Reply:we have a names picked out and we're pretty much stuck with the girls name. I can tell you we've changed the boys name several times and still not sure what to name it if its a boy. We both named out names that we liked and agreed to it. Now we are stuck with three boy names cause we relay love them. I guess we will have to wait till the day it arrives and decide on the boys name there. We agreed to stick with traditional names or bible names .
I hate it when my mother In-law was trying to insinuate that my husband should name the boy and I the girl.!!! we both made that baby and we both should agree on a name.
Reply:i always liked the name Ava
Reply:my mom named my older brother after my dad (not the middle name) Stephen Nicholas and me after him Stephanie Nichole.
i like for boys Thomas- just like it. Peter and Howard after my grandpas. Samual- my grandpa always wanted a Sam. And Elijah- just like it... Girls Summers, Elizabeth, Emily-just like it. Samantha-Sam again and bff name
Reply:God, naming was hard!
We didn't know the sex of either baby. So we had to have lists of boy names and girl names.
We each did our own lists, and then we looked at each other's. Any names that were the same on both lists made the cut for the next round, and we each got a few vetoes of the other's names. And then we started combining names, knowing we needed a first and a middle for a boy or a girl. We talked a ton about what kinds of names we wanted or didn't want, and what characteristics we associated with each name.
Oh, and an additional complication is that although we're married, we don't have the same last name, and we didn't want to hyphenate. So that meant we had to pick one of our names as a last name, or we had to use one last name as a middle name.
Anyway, our older daughter wasn't named until just before we left the hospital. The records people had been calling and calling and calling, and we kept putting them off... We asked nurses for advice, which was cool, because they know what names are too popular. We asked the on-call pediatrician for the same reason. And then, well, we just winged it.
Our oldest is Phoebe Grace, which was a name I picked. Her father liked it, too, but I think he gave it to me to make things easy after 3 weeks of bedrest, 52 hours of labor, 3 hours of pushing, and an emergency C-section!
Also, my family is very involved with us, and loves and supports us in a million ways, but his family doesn't. I was very sensitive to that, thinking he might want our kids to have his last name as a chance to start over or something? But he says that my side of the family is the side the kids will know, and there's no reason they shouldn't carry that name. So they both have my last name.
Our second daughter was even tougher. She was NOT named by the time we left the hospital. She was born on a Tuesday, but we didn't come home until Friday or Saturday, and the Vital Records people gave us until the end of the weekend to make our decision. We tried out a few names, but nothing stuck. It was terrible.
Finally, we ended up naming her Stella, after her great-grandmother. She was extremely ill at the time, and I loved her deeply. I don't believe in naming children after people who are still living, but I wanted, somehow, for my Nona to know that I loved her and wanted my baby to be like her. So we did it. In spite of the fact that we knew there are WAY too many little Stellas out there. And her middle name is Rose, which we both liked.[
I'm still not sure that our 16 month old is a Stella. But Phoebe is a Phoebe. She's ALWAYS been a Phoebe.
Good luck! I think naming my kids was harder than deciding to get married, deciding to get pregnant, deciding what college to go to, deciding which house to buy, decidiing whether or not to take another job... It's just hard. But the good news is that your child will never know any different, so it will always just be his or her name to him or her.
Reply:Picked mine out before hand and they stuck: Ryan Scott and Hayley Brooke
Reply:I had all of my babies names picked out before I found out what they were. So when I was 5 months along, they were named.
Sean Jaedon
Samuel Ryan
Aiden Michael
and Im having a girl now and she will be Brooke
I picked out the names, my husband helped slightly but he would agree yes or no.
Reply:I had my daughters name picked out before birth. I came up with it, and her daddy liked it too, so we stuck with it. We didnt change it. Her name is Jaelynn Marie.
Reply:we had alot of names picked out, we went back and forth with names for the 1st one for many months, the last week of the pregnancy i was reading a novel and the name EVAN popped out at me and that was the name for the 1st -if it was a boy-and sofie for a girl- it was a boy and it was EVAN and we love it - the 2nd one was going to be Justin, until the time came for me to give the name to the nurse for the birth certificate and at that moment we decided to change it to JASON - all the cards came to the hospital for Justin.. but we are happy and the boys seem happy with the names we picked for them. When you find the right name you will know inside, it is a compromise when naming a baby, you both have to be happy - if one family has traditions, it is nice to follow them.. good luck...
Reply:we both had names in mind but i looked through a baby name book and picked out all of the names that i liked. i made a list. we went through the list together and narrowed it down to a name we both really liked and agreed on. my son's middle name is my husband's first name so that part was easy. after we figured it out we stuck with the name: nolan christopher
Reply:Picked out names prior to the birth and stuck with them. My 1st child is named Charles "Charlie" after my Dad "Chuck" who incidently teared up after getting a namesake, and my husband's grandfather Charles. I had twins the second go and had wanted Natalie for a girl for sure ( got a Charlie), let my husband choose the other twin (girl too) Rachel Lynn. Charlie was almost a "Sheldon" until we heard the name as a joke line on TV. Nixed that quickly. all kids names were chosen by the time I was 7 months preg.
Reply:My boyfriend and I decided on the name Gabrielle Grace for our soon to be little girl.
