Baby names.
By mrsamanda » Posted Dec. 19, 2013 9:56pm - 311 views - 5 comments

We started to discuss names that we both liked and agreed on before we got pregnant. We came up with one boy and one girl name that we agreed on and thought might be set in stone names. Well, now I am not 100% on the boy's first name. DH is making such a big deal out of it and acting like its a total inconvenience that I am now not sure and want to explore other boy names to see if there is anything else I like better. So, every name I come up with is not going to come close to the first one because he is stuck on it. And then he says he just doesn't want to talk about it tonight or right now or whatever. It's just not what he wants to do, change the name we had... Excuse me, but I want to 100% love my baby's name or I won't name my child that! It's not suppose to be stressful coming up with a name. It's suppose to be a fun time deciding on a name. Big whoop if I decided I'm not sold on the first one we though we wanted. I may change my mind 10 more times before we know the sex or even after we know and the baby gets here. He's just pissing me off and I just want to smack him. He's acting like he doesn't even want to participate in the search for our child's name because he ASSUMED it was going to stay what we came up with first. I'm so irritated I could slap someone right now. Just sucking the fun out of the whole thing.

I'm serious when I say baby's will just fit in to a certain name when you physically see them. Being only 9 weeks, it's still quite early to be trying to set anything in stone....you have a long time to talk about this and decide. Don't overwhelm yourselves trying to do and decide everything right at this moment....try to enjoy the next 8 months.

We had the opposite happen to us; we had a set in stone boys name but struggled with a girls name. I had one that we'd talked about and both really liked prepregnancy, then I found myself second guessing it for months forth being too unique. We went back and forth for months about it (Charlie was also not very interested in the name search), but I kept coming back to the old favorite, and when we were finally settled back on that we found out he was a boy! Good luck, it's a big decision, but you will love your baby and their name whatever you pick, so don't let it stress you out!
	Comment from mrsamanda » Posted Dec. 20, 2013 8:56am He said the same thing, "it may end up being a girl and we would have wasted all this energy looking for a boy name." But, I still want to be prepared. I like to have options!!

Way easier to find girl names we like. We have our favorite boy name and then a backup in the event we ever had 2 boys... although my hubs is convinced he will have all girls. ;-)
