hmm struggling!!

Well we wanted to find out the sex so it's abit different to your situation. DH refused to discuss names until we had our 19 week scan & knew if we had a son or a daughter. Before this I kept throwing names at him & he just kept telling me to wait!! It was very frustrating so I can sympathise with you.
So on the day of the scan we found out we were having a boy. We decided on his first name the same day, but the middle name took some time. I hated what he chose & now we've come up with something we're both happy with.
Maybe your DH just needs a little more time before he is comfortable talking names. It's different for them as they're on the outside & not experiencing it like we are IYKWIM.
Good luck with naming your baby!!

lol you have 60 days after the birth to register the bub...so if you don't have a name by about day 55 I'd be getting cross only joking.
It might take him a wee while to get used to the whole 'we're gonna have a baby thing'. It's happening to your body, but to him it's just an idea.
Wait until he sees it on a scan or can see your belly and feel it move. He'll get there in his own time.
Why not buy him a names book and leave it wherever he likes to be...on his desk, in his car or something with a little note saying something along the lines of 'thought you might like to have a browse without me nagging'. Put a pen and notebook with it and he might do it off his own bat....worked for mine anyways.
Good luck
eta DH came up with Darcy's name all by himself.....it will happen.

we had an early scan due to bleeding at 6 weeks and 3 days he was so so so excited and cute and couldnt stop kissing me he was over the moon!
i think im just being too organised?
he originally wanetd to know the sex so he could paint the room but i siad we can hae pale yellow room we can use more then once and he is happy with that.

Firstly, Congrats on your pregnancy!!!

I also wanted to get our names sorted fairly quickly, so I totally understand! It's a big decision! My DH started getting into names when I put them into context for him, like "And the best and fairest Football Trophy goes to... <Insert Chosen Name & Surname>" and "Oh look here comes little baby <Insert Chosen Name>" or "Come on <Insert Chosen Name> time for bed mate" before then, he just couldn't seem to think any name sounded "right" they were just all random names...

After I put a few to him in this context, he fell in love with one name in particular that I loved but he had previously not liked at all a couple of days earlier, now he's totally all for that name, we still suggest others but he just totally adores that particular one, he talks to my belly using the name, asks me all day "How is our little Mr so-and-so going today?" and the like... He only realised how much he loved it after he heard it being used in context, maybe try that if you haven't already, men are simple creatures, not sure how many would put names into context in their own head lol!!

Otherwise, just know that you DO have LOTS of time and you WILL find the very perfect name no matter what, so even if the wait kills you, it will be worth it in the end to have a name you absolutely ADORE! Good luck!!

Congrats on your pregnancy hun,

I am still waiting for Dh to get involved with the name thing. The only time we talk baby names is when I bring it up usually to have my ideas squashed

Hmmm we are the opposite here. DH was starting his list of names we liked a couple of months back and I am holding off for a little while. I dont want to go through names so early that I get sick of the ones we choose. We are not finding out the sex either.

Good luck!

My DH has only gotten serious about names in the past month or so. I started considering names in the early weeks too but I'm still not decided! We plan on taking three names for each sex (we don't know what we're having either) to the hospital and hope that bubs suits one name more than the other two.

Try not to worry too much hon. It can take a while before the boys really adjust to the fact that they're going to be dads. I think they realise when you start to show or at the 20 week scan. You have plenty of time to make a firm decision too so just start jotting down a list of names for each sex and every so often go through them with him and see what he thinks.

Now, back to my list..it's so hard!! LOL!

DH is not very good at talking about names!!

When preg with DS we had a boys name picked from 20 ish weeks (he kept forgetting what it was and ask me LOL) however girls names we were still discussing while i was in labour so was relieved when we had a boy!!

I would try and corner him in car and would get dumb suggesions like street names, FWY names, car brands anything he saw on a sign grrrrr

This time i have started suggesting the most disgusting names i can find to try and get him to want to think!!! so far not working LOL
