Being a mother of four I and 1 on the way I think you will just know what the name is when you just see her/him:D Good luck to all those pregnant women...including me!:)

2/29/2012 06:09:26 PM Report AbuseI've never been the one to go with trendy names. I have always admired the older classic style. That's how I came up with Celeste for my first. I'm still at a impass with this next one.(it's another girl)My better half and I can not agree on a name yet. Maybe I'll just "blow it off" for now.
8/3/2011 07:56:35 AM Report AbuseI feel that parents need to name the kids together (esp the first name!) When we were naming our kids we wanted something traditional that would never go out of style. Also, we didn't want trendy because we didn't want them to have several other kids in their class with the same name. Unfortunatley, other parents felt the same way we did because every year the kids have someone else in their class with the same name! Check out: myrealbirthstory.com
3/10/2011 10:16:00 AM Report AbuseWow, this list of "helpful" tips is useless. where do they come up with this rubbish? As a mother, the thought never occurred to me to tell my husband that since I'm the one carrying the baby that I have the last say. And a baby naming party? Really? Sheesh, lets not forget the one about naming your first son what you want to give yourself time to persuade Dad that the name he picked sucks!
