Names!!
Ok, I know it is a bit early but choosing a name last time was a nightmare!! My OH & I couldn't agree on anything!! TBH, I suggested all the names, he refused them!! We had Chloe as a possible girls name but I've gone off that now! And boys we had none, I loved Benjamin, Oliver, Joshua etc - traditional boys names but OH agreed a maybe on Benjamin but the other two were thrown out!
We agreed in the end - when I was in the birthing pool holding our son (my choice, OH would have agreed on most things at that point!), and we love our sons name now, but it was a stress so We are trying to do better this time (or at least I am!).
Have you all had any thoughts yet??

Piahigsy, this is exactly what my OH does! "oh no, there was a fat girl who smelt called that at primary school with me", I'm the teacher & would have thought would have the most bad associations with names but no! Thinking we may have to find out the sex this time just to minimise the battling!!
I have a few names I like this time round, but if Im anything like last time I will change my mind loads during the 40th weeks. xxx
im stuck for boys, its a flip between dominic gregory and gregory dominic... !
doesn't help that I want an unusual name but nothing too wacky, something that childlike when he's a child but a good adult professional name, so if he becomes a lawyer or a doctor he's going to be taken seriously - perhaps I have too high expectations!
It also doesn't help that hubby is convinced we're having a girl so we don't need a boy's name!
only kidding... although I don't mind it.
Our trouble is trebbled this time. I'm swedish, my partner english. The name needs to be pronounced roughly the same in both languages, not sound like something weird in one of the languages, sound good with both of our surnames... and now also sound good with our sons name.
I'm already agonising about it allthough we haven't actually stared the suggestion attack mode (wich we applied last time round).
Just bombard each other with random names, shout them out and the idea is to suddenly both stop and go... "hey I actually don't mind that"
We named our boy Ruben, which I still love!! That works real well in both. So now we have to match Ruben. Can only hope it's a girl as last time Ruben was the ONLY name we agreed upon.... so have no backups if it's an other boy. Hi hi.
Lily I love, it was my lovely granny's maiden name - we had it planned for our girls middle name - then my blooming sister gave it to her daughter 8 months after our son was born... May still use it! Though Ann is my mum's middle name & MIL's first name, but don't really like it!! OH is refusing to talk about names until we've found out the gender (which we were going to ask about at our 16 week scan but he now can't make it.....). But then we're not even 100% about finding the sex out....!
