How soon is too soon, to pick names?

[Teeki]

Never too soon! We were the same as LMS, had names picked for ages. Then we actually got pregnant, and didn't like any of them anymore We discussed for aaaaggggeeesss, and never could decide on a boys name. Luckily we're having a girl! I just randomly threw out a name on our way to the 20 week scan, we both loved it, and now it's not going anywhere!

But yeah, if we hadn't started early, or if we were having a boy, we probably wouldn't have had a name til the birth (not that there's anything wrong with that either!).

With our first, DH wouldn't even discuss it until we'd had the 19 weeks scan. I'm now pregnant again and we decided on the names before we even knew we were expecting again! So never too soon

Ha ha Freckle is what we call our DS now!!! We couldn't agree on a boy's name (we found out the sex) so we had a Baby ***** (my surname) in the hossy and only named our DS a few days after he was born. I don't think it's ever too early to have some names handy

Never too soon! I had several names picked out not longer after we got our BFP. Enjoy picking names, it can take longer than you think to get your shortlist sorted!

PS: Freckle is what DH calls me!!!

Thanks everyone. I've started writing down names I like. We won't be finding out Freckles gender so we need to short list for both boys and girls

NEVER TO SOON!!!!!
you would rather have a name early, then be like us, bub is one month old tommorow, and we only just got a short list we both like done this week, so no, its NEVER to soon!!!
eta: we found out gender at 20 weeks, so we realy have no excuse as to why theres still no name. (also the still no name and poor baby comments get a bit much!)

I had DD's name picked 7yrs before she was born!! We had Brianna Jade if she was a girl & Benjamin John if she was a boy

In DS's case, we did start thinking about names early but found it harder the second time when we found out he was a boy (I didnt want the name we had chosen for first born) I ended up hearing his name for the first time a week or 2 before I had him!! Loved it straight away & used it

I dont think there's such thing as it being "too early" to start choosing names, if u leave it til the last minute u might end up getting a bit stressed about it??

Good luck & congrats on ur pregnancy

DH hated all the names i liked for a boy with DS1.. we had names picked out by 16weeks i think Declan for a boy or Chelsea for a girl.. with DD we had Nate for a boy or Maddison for a girl.. this time around i already no im getting another DS yet we have NO names nor any desire to hurry up & choose one.. i have names i like & he has names he likes but we just can't agree but all the kids have had middle names before we knew what we were having or had even concieved
