anyone have zero clue what to name baby?

I really have no idea at all what to name this baby!
With DD, we had her name picked out the minute we found out she was a girl. We both agreed on it right away and we love it.
We are Team Green this time around and I am just feeling no motivation to pick a name! One thing that is overwhelming me is having to pick two names (boy and girl). The other is that I am not finding any name thrilling this time. I am just eh about everything. Part of the problem is that we are going for an Irish name and since DH has like 20 nieces and nephews all the names I like are taken! I know I am only 18 weeks and I have time, but I am feeling like this baby will not have a name until after he/she is born and I dont know about even then!

Re: anyone have zero clue what to name baby?

as soon as we found out I was pregnant, it took all but a few days to come up with his name. We were SET on it and feeling good. Then at 20 weeks we found out - suprise, it's a GIRL. And finding her name has been the most difficult thing everrrr because most girl names just don't thrill me. Coming up with the boy's name was so much easier for us. I'm 39 weeks now and have gotten it down to 2. Im not makng the final decision until I see her.

You've got some time tho - just look through baby name websites, watch the end credits of movies (lol). Hopefully one pops out at you.

THIS website gives some good ones. And it helps you narrow down to just Irish names if that's what you want. Also if you click on "Try Advanced Baby Names Search" you can put in a meaning and they'll give you the names that go with it. Pretty cool

Re: anyone have zero clue what to name baby?

i have NO clue on girls names..none. WE've had a boys name picked since before DD was born. So naturally, I had a girl lol
We are team green this time around too and we still have our boy name but no girls names. We have some that we like, but none that we love

Re: anyone have zero clue what to name baby?

we are team and I have no idea what to do about names, jewish tradition is to name after people who have died. I am very close with my grandfather and he is not doing well. So we are going to speak to a rabbi and ask if we can still name if he is alive. If not, we need to chose english names and hebrew for both. feeling a bit stressed about it.

Re: anyone have zero clue what to name baby?

I'm team and while we have a short list for both genders at this point I'm not in love with anything. I feel like I should be more excited about picking a name, but I'm really not. Maybe it's b/c I'm team green? Not sure. Hopefully some inspiration will come soon.

Re: anyone have zero clue what to name baby?

me and dh are on complete different planets when it comes to our name

she will probably not have a name until after she is born

Re: anyone have zero clue what to name baby?

We are 31 weeks, team , and we still have no clue. No names on our list either. We are having a hard time agreeing. Or, actually, DH is being stubborn and refusing to give up on the 2 names that I absolutely hate and will never use.

Re: anyone have zero clue what to name baby?

I am 31 weeks and we have NO names. DH vetoed everything (well nearly everything) I liked and said how could he pick a name without seeing the baby. So we have nothing and havent discussed it in weeks!!!!

Girls names are a little easier for us just because we didnt use any of the ones we liked last time. Boys names we got nothing!!!

DS was 2 days old before we named him! Due to the same issues!

GL!

Jen, I could have written this myself!! i have some ideas but not 1000% on them like I was with Mairead's name. we're going to stick to the Irish names again, so i have some ideas, but nothing i am madly in love with, KWIM?

Re: anyone have zero clue what to name baby?

We had the same issue. Knew right away for #1, but didn't have a name for #2 until we walked into the hospital. I'm in trouble if it's another boy. The funny thing is, each of the 3 pregnancies, our girl name changed.

I checked out 6 different baby names from the library.
