The Name Obsession Continues (103 dp 3dt / 17 weeks 1 day)

I have been thinking more about names, and doing the usual obsessive googling of name choices to see the general consensus (if you google a name combination - first and middle - chances are you'll find some discussion about it!)

I was somewhat amused to come across a blog called "The Good Baby Names Hall of Fame", which is 100% devoted to names. Each post is literally a list of names, usually in combination. And of course, this same blogger also has a blog called "The Bad Baby Names Hall of Shame", which is a bit more rough around the edges.

What will they think of next?

Thanks for the tip - I will have to check that out. The only thing that we've let ourselves do in the 2WW is think of boy names (we have girl names). Tomorrow is beta #1 for the Nest.

Haha! The obsession just gets worse. My guilty pleasure was a message board that was all baby names!!! The fact that you get to pick out TWO names is so exciting. They are going to be beautiful as will your sweet babies. You are almost at the half way point - MILESTONE approaching!

I was so obsessed with names as well...it was a great pastime while we waited for our little one to finally arrive : ) I agree with Sarah - you're lucky you get to pick 2 names!

I will put this post in my pocket and hopefully pull it out some day in the future. I'm frankly more curious about the bad names site. Ha! :-)

haha Oh, man.

I remember hanging out with my best friend a couple months ago (when she was 8 months pregnant), going through the "1001 Baby Names" book.

SO many of the name were just....ridiculous.

Like, the boy's name "Trocky."
Yes, Trocky.

And there was a section entitled "Creepy Boys' Names." Our favorite in that section was "Delete."

Good luck on your continued search!

Good Morning. Thanks for the comment on my blog. It is pretty tiring - a little more so then the newborn stage. The difference being newborns sleep SO much, you find a hour here and there during the day for some rest. But at this stage you have to keep her up or else she will get it all mixed up. :O)
Lisa at BubbaLou puts out new items alll of the time. I bought that one in the pic on sale and it's called Ella. Let's say that you find out that you may need to order TWO after your ultrasound, you can just email Lisa and custom order different colours! Or if you want something else entirely - she will do it. They are beautiful and look stellar in pics - so worth it!!!! I am pulling for the double order!

the sad fact is that mr. jb and i have names for at least four children -- first and middle! i've had to do a total paradigm shift and think that we will probably get to use one, if we're lucky.

good luck on your search! i'm sure that you'll find the perfect name!
