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.
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.
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
It is a bit of a dilema the whole name thing. It's so hard to agree!
I hope you don't mind, and I know you didn't ask for opinions, but just wanted to say that I know a little Walter and has a bit of a hard time with that name. I know kids can get teased for all sort of things and I guess if you love it go with it. It did feature in this article....
We had a girl's name all sorted out ... BUT no boy's name ... even two days past my due date still NO boy's name
We just simply couldn't decide on a boy's name that we BOTH loved or even liked ... All we could decide on was what initial we DIDN'T like the name starting with ... So have you tried that idea ?? Just a thought
By the way, we ended up having a little girl, geez she saved us one huge headache, LOL
I wanted to add congrats on deciding on not knowing the bubbas sex ... i can tell you from our own personal experience we tell everyone that it was the best GIFT we could have given ourselves. I only the other day described it to a friend it feels like you have just won 1st division in tattslotto when bub is born then only moments later someone telling you that you have now ALSO won 2nd division
P.S - I go with ETHAN as i'm biased, it's my gorgeous nephew's name !!!!!!!!!!
