How do you settle it?!?

Question

So my husband and I are due with our 3rd in 9 weeks or less and we do not know the gender. We are essentially no closer to picking a name either. I think we have a top option for a girl, but I’m still not totally sold on it. And as for a boy, my husband has a top choice and I have a top choice. I don’t hate his choice, but I also don’t love it or feel it’s the one. And he says he doesn’t like my choice. 
So my question is, as time is ticking down and we can’t seem to find names we both really like or even that we individually love, how do you decide in the end?!? 
I told him we should Rock Paper Scissors it or put the names in a bowl and draw! Help! How else have you all decided on a name for your baby when you don’t agree?!?

Answer

If you don’t like each other’s top choices, then scrap both. Start over.

Answer

I’d narrow the list down & decide once you see baby

Answer

Go back and think of more together and ask you 1st and 2nd to help even if there young and think of silly names it be a refreshing contribution to the collective creativity bubble.
This what work for me so here a thought to be shared in the ring of ideas of hasn’t been done. This might be tricked with a 3rd baby. 
Although I made this list with an preset priority just Incase I had twins and etc.
I wrote out every name I ever loved for first names there was a ton.
 Then I read them off with the middle names and picked from there.
Maybe you need to get a little more open and crafty with names.
Example:
My sister was going to name he baby boy Everest like the mountain 🏔 since her and her husband love 🧗‍♀️ climbing and hiking but went with Aldon since she like honor family names but we really all love Everest lol she didn’t decide on a name til last minute birth certificate ordering if make you feel any better and lol she was going to name him another name before loving Everest. Your not alone.
I prepicked my middle names for baby and gender in order.  
Example:
my girl middle is my middle, my mother middle and oddly husband’s mothers middle name too... it’s a sign lol
Our first boy get my dad side they name their first boy the same name for generations so I honor it even know it’s the male side of family thing.
Beside I won’t be here to meet and make my babies if they didn’t decide to have me too.
Baby boy 2 get daddy middle name
Think of things you love too do,see,go to, characters in stories or games, famous people, flowers, seasons, months, element, a twist on a animal or even space themes.
Maybe something the means something To you has a name that means that... my name means Queen Star Goddess of the sea Diamond
Lol not that my parents knew but maybe the means could help with the naming.

Answer

My husband didn’t like my top pick. He did like my second pick for a first name but not any of the middle names. He said my second choice and came up with his own middle. I didn’t hate it and was so happy I got one of my top first names that we went with it.

Answer

We didn’t fully settle on my sons name until he was born. We had a first choice name and a back up name in case the first name felt like it didn’t fit. My son was born via c section and my husband declared his name to the doctors before I even saw him 😂 He was right tho. 
I think it’s true that sometimes you have to see the baby to feel sure.

Answer

I just went with his choice since I didn't mind it 🤷 I don't really LOVE it but I really don't love any boy names lol

Answer

I like LG’s advice. Sounds like a good idea.  But I think you guys will be fine and figure it out when the baby comes. Friend of mine just had a baby, and they were stuck between 2 names (both mom & dad liked both names). But when the baby was born, they chose a completed different 3rd name that wasn’t even a top pick.
Guess you never know but I’m confident you’ll figure it out when baby’s due 😊
