    My cousin had names picked out when she was 5. She still doesn't have babies but she does have names.

    We had our names picked out before DS1 was conceived. When I got pregnant I extended the list incase I had twins so we had 2 boys names but we went with the original name as it had family meaning. My daughter's name was chosen when I was about 10, DH didn't like it to start with but I insisted and won

    The twins were the hardest to name as I only had 17 weeks to change my list from 1 girl name, 1 boy name to BB/GG/BG combinations. I felt very unorganised

    I had names picked out at 17! Unfortunately my DH hated both of them I was talking names before conception for both my babies but DH wasn't keen to talk about it. He drove me nuts! We finally picked names for this one about 2 weeks ago. DS's name was picked by the 19 week scan but that was only because we found out he was a boy. We didn't have a girl's name picked for him.

    No time is too soon but have to say my DH was a bit blase about it all until the last few weeks. Best thing I did was just keep my own list and when he seemed responsive I would run it past him and we gradually narrowed it down!
