    We didn't really seriously start talking until my 20 week scan, but I set an arbitary deadline of 30 weeks to have the name chosen: I really wanted to be sure to have one to greet him with at birth, so some premmie-ness was allowed for.

    We had our names all sorted out in August 2008. We started TTCing in April 2009, and our DD was born December 2010

    I agree it's never too soon, we had about 12 names for DD after our 19 week scan and still hadn't decided on one till the time she was born.

    i think talking about it from the start of ttc (at least) is great!
    your tastes change... and also you like to hear the name quite a few times to see if you really like it

    ummm.... i don't know if i'm any help because DH and i didn't name either kids until they were 3 days old!! the only difference was when we had J we picked names the night before i was induced because i didn't want him being born without a name.....but that's a bit different.

    so yeah.....sorry, for me personally i like meeting our babies and seeing what they look like and getting to know them and their character for a few days before i name them....but everyone is different Lol.

    Some of ours have had their names picked since before they were conceived, others not till 18ish weeks and 1 we changed her name just weeks before she was born

    Start choosing when you are ready i say.
