    I "think" its 30 days but I saw a friend last night and she didn't name her latest bub for 59 days!

    Sorry everyone posted at the same time, it must be 60 then.

    Nate had his first name, but not the rest so he got registered on day 56.

    keep in mind that you need to register your baby for baby bonus purposes - so if you think you like a name but aren't SURE, register (it sounds like you and your DH need that help at the moment) - and apply to change it later if something else comes to you.

    as lulu said, you still have ages, and sometimes, when a baby arrives, a name just fits them immediately. get some names together that you like, and see what happens when he arrives
