Anyone have names picked out yet!

95% sure this one will be Ella. I wanted to get DD as involved as I could so we’ve been talking about names. I gave her my list and asked her opinions. She’s latched onto Ella. Which is great! It’s been my top name since before I got pregnant. My other top girl name was Jordan which she isn’t such a fan of so thinking I’ll make that her middle name.

So 95% sure her name will be Ella Jordan M***. DD is Ashlyn Juliana M***. I have a few months to solidify that last 5%.

Girl: Emma Mae
Boy: Dylan Geoffrey

We've had Emma picked out for a while, just because my husband is obsessed with Emma Watson... Than the middle name "Mae" was my Grandmothers middle name.

With Dylan, because my husband hated the name "Maverick" we chose Dylan , than Geoffrey, we came up with because it was spelled like the old English name, so it's pronounced Jeffrey. We already have a Connor and his is spelled the older English, so we decided on that!

I would’ve loved to use Emma, but my daughter has a cousin on my ex’s side with that name so nope. She’s seen her like twice in her life, but still.
Lovely names

I like Ivy Natalie for a girl. Natalie is my DHs twin sisters name, she passed away when they were 12.

Boys im really not sure of yet. DH has to carry a family middle name down which is charles, so still thinking about that one.

I get to choose first names though.

I take back what I said about not feeling sick yet... fried eggs are officially banned from this household

If baby was a boy I was going to use Charles as the middle name. It’s my father‘a name and his father’s too.

All the first born boys to boys have charles as their middle name. Im glad we aren't following my boy family tradition (only the boys can do it) the poor baby would have Leslie for a middle name

95% sure this one will be Ella.

My 5.5yo son is convinced this baby is a girl and says we have to name her Ella. Which, even if a girl, we aren't going to do (nothing against the name haha- actually considered it for the one before), but he is adamant.

I've been pretty MIA because of the sickness. I'm worn out all of the time and feel miserable, and it still hasn't hit me that this is real yet. I mean, I am absolutely feeling it (and have seen the scan and made it public and clothes aren't fitting anymore), but I'm still having a hard time picturing us with a healthy take home baby. I'm wondering if it's just b/c I'm currently feeling so crummy I don't have time to think about much else and it has me down...

I love all the name choices! @Nixnax thats a lovely tribute to your dhs twin sister, a lovely was to honour her memory.

For a girl it will be Lucy here. It was tied top when we had no3, but Charlotte just won out. Middle name probably Louise which is my middle name, after my older sister who died when she was a baby.

For a boy we have NO IDEA AT ALL. We find boys names really difficult. The only boys name we’ve ever really loved is Oliver. Who is our son We are so screwed if it’s a boy (which I’m convinced it will be) as we don’t love any other name at all. We didn’t have any picked out for a boy when we had Charlotte, so we were lucky she appeared female!

@SCgirl sorry you’re feeling so shitty first trimester is so horrendous in some pregnancies.

We’re finding it so hard to pick a name! Everything I like he hates and everything he likes I hate

I always hate everything my husband suggests (because he suggests stupid stuff). I almost always get my own way with a name and even better is somehow he always comes to think it was his idea!

Grr that’s frustrating. Can you both just make lists then share them? Veto ones you each hate but if there are some that are meh it just okay look for similar names you prefer more?

That’s why DD has a different name until 20 weeks, my ex. Then I was like no. And it changed. So much nicer now being single and picking myself lol. Well with DDs help.

 

[sunnydee]

Wow so much to catch up on! Congrats on all your sneak peek and NIPT results! I'm tempted to get the NIPT!
I don't think I'll even start thinking names until I know for sure if it's a boy or girl. Only have 1 to choose then lol
We told the kids today and then they told my MIL, FIL and SIL. Everyone was so shocked!! Haha the looks on all their faces and I was convinced that everyone would have already guessed cause I clearly am showing! So tomorrow we will tell my family. There's no way I could have waited until 13 week scan, think I'll look about 5 months by then!

Mine does too!!! Like sigourney, mourd, Moses (which apparently hes deadly serious about) i can’t even begin to express how stressful trying to pick a name with him is!!

His lists are so ridiculous, there’s isn’t a name on there I would give to a dog never mind a baby

 

[MrsKatie]

We never had a name picked before baby was born- we always felt we had to meet the baby first, and then it’s like— the baby either “looks” like a name or doesn’t. We have made lists and discussed but always choose once we meet the baby.

We are the same, I like to narrow it down to 2 or 3 names and then wait until baby arrives to see which one suits best. Funny with my first I didn't find out the gender and went in to hospital with 2 boys names and no girls names to choose from, I think deep down I knew it was a boy!

Oh definitely baby brain saw you name pop up and just clicked it xx
