DS3 (kobe) was a name i wasn't totally set on this was hubby choice but i didn't know whether i really loved it like i did my other boys name.

in the end i didn't get a choice DS3 was born premmie and was taken to special care DH went with him as i was unable to go as i was all hooked up to monitors becasue of PE. Anyway when DH come back with photos and i said i guess we better decide on a name. DH replied we have it's Kobe and that what i told the nurses.

But once i saw him the next day i knew it suited him and now i love the name and couldn't imagine him being one of the others names i liked.

We were like this with Daisy.., I loved the name before we got pregnant and DH hated it. I nagged and nagged and suggested awful names like Mildred and Florence (no offense if anyone likes these names lol.. Not my cup of tea though :p) and he eventually said he liked Daisy. Then I wasn't sure... Lol... I wanted Ashlyn or Evelyn and he was dead set on Daisy, now im glad and I love it haha. Even when she was born though I wasn't sure, because she was 10 pounds and a real chunky baby, not delicate or pretty like a daisy is hahah... Super glad we stuck with it though because she is beautiful and delicate and dainty and totally fits the name!!

Love all your stories!

Diana and Miss T - DH did the same for DS. We had somewhat agreed on Flynn as a boy name but I didn't think it was set in concrete. I didn't really discuss boy names because I was sure he would be a girl! So seconds after delivery while getting stitched up etc DH tells me he has texted EVERYONE and when I asked what he wrote he said " I just said Flynn arrived and he was blah blah kg etc" I was gobsmacked!!! I said we hadn't even decided properly! But I did like the name and I had no other ones in the wing so Flynn it stayed :)

Beck - nothing has to make sense when you are in labour!! Or for numerous day and weeks later! I love the name Evelyn too!

Nicola - I wanted Daisy so badly as a girls name but then DH named his dog Daisy, so I could never use it now as she is a family pet and favourite. I think no matter the name they do grow into it, as long as you like it enough at the start!

Bek - I don't want to say the name! Because I am slightly concerned about people thinking ewww! Which is half of my hesitation to use it! Maybe I will PM you lol

This name is actually our boy name. Girl is sorted but I have such a strong feeling its a boy so I'm get anxious!!!! I keep telling myself that the name will grow on me eventually... fingers crossed!! Perhaps I will have a few names on the back burner to throw in at the last minute and see if I can sway DH!!

I was never set on Ashton but DH loved it (he actually wanted Ash) but I have to have 2 syllable names so I suggested Ashton as a compromise, it's funny how you look at them as they are getting older and think they couldn't have any other name

edited because the post that I rolled my eyes at (it was advertising something in a foreign language) was deleted I hope nobody thinks I was being rude

I'm like that with the name we have picked. I suggested about 30 names and DP said no, no, no to all of them except this one! While I like it, it's not my favourite.
I told DP we have to have back up names just incase the name doesnt suit her and he finally agreed it made sense to, given the fact we had a name set in concrete for Isaac but then went with a completely different name because Caden just didnt suit him!
I gave DP a list of 30 more girls names I like and he crossed off all but 2 (plus the name we already had) and I'm super happy because I LOVE 2 of them and I know we'll end up with a name I really like lol.

if i hadn't been so sick and so tired i probably would have given him what for. all that counted really in the end was that he arrived safely and he was healthy.

ha that will teach me to roll my eyes at someone

Hope you can get the name sorted I think it's probably one of the most stressful things towards the end and yes lets hope for a girl and then no problem

DS was meant to be 'Lincoln' when I found out I was having a boy at 17 weeks pregnant I refered to him as Link. then as my due date became closer I started doubting & having cold feet & actually got to the stage I no longer liked the name so went back to the drawing board as they say & then about a week before I had him Ashton popped into my head & I knew that had to be his name & when I saw him it fitted him to a tee :) I gave all my friends a shock as I had told them the previous name. Even his father had no idea I had changed into I had him we are separated it was dirty with me for a few days as he loved the original name but now he loves Ashton's name. :)

Im only 12 weeks and me and my partner are already having baby name wars haha.
