How soon is too soon, to pick names?

[luna moth]

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

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

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.

We have our names already, well pretty sure they are the ones, and I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow Never to early! We did the same thing had names picked out before DS and they never stuck 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.
