Anyone else’s pregnancy hormones totally change their feelings about baby names? 😂🤯

Question

I was pretty confident that I had a good size list of baby names I loved and it wouldn’t be too hard to find a name we both loved (whether on my list or not). Up until I got pregnant 🤭 and now... I feel SO strongly all the sudden! 
For a boy I can suddenly ONLY imagine using Leo James 🥺😍🦁 (added bonus: great grandfather was Leo, grandpa was James). I just imagine this beautiful little boy with a mane of curls, and I could call him cubby 😭 Before Leo was on the list, but not high up, more of a middle name option. Then I told my husband I liked it and he was like 🤷🏾‍♂️ “Meh...” and istg I wanted to cry 😂 
For a girl, I was so excited when my husband said he really loved my top pick Sloane Rosalie right off the bat... but now I’m like.... wait... 😳 I changed my mind! I like Rosalie for a first name. But again, he’s like 🤷🏾‍♂️ meh. I still love Sloane, i love the sleek sophisticated, but just a little bit badass Bond Girl vibe. But I just find myself so drawn to the nickname Rosie, it’s just so sweet and Sloane is just so grown up... is it too weird to just call her Rosie sometimes while she’s little? I mean, people call their kids all sorts of things (peanut, bubba, etc) and I’ve never met an adult who preferred to go by Monkeybutt instead of Jeff lol 
Does anyone else feel like their hormones have taken their brain hostage and it’s making it really hard to make choices like names because your a quite bit more stubborn than normal? 😅

Answer

I’ve had a few names picked out for a while, half them I don’t like anymore. The other half everyone has a problem with them, “my cousins daughters name is that” “you can’t name them ..... I know a ...... and I can’t stand them” the list just goes on 😤 it’s getting me down

Answer

I had an entire pages of names for a boy and girl.. were using a first and middle name that wasn’t even on my list to begin with because once I got pregnant I suddenly I hated all of them.. 😅 I think it’s completely normal!

Answer

Leo was the name the whole pregnancy that I loved. The middle name was tough. We had Leo James chosen. Then it was Leo Alexander. Ultimately too many people on this app we’re using Leo James/Alexander and I didn’t want to give my son a name that’s insanely popular, but we couldn’t settle on any other name. His name is Leo J, but the middle name is my husbands middle name. He’s 10 months and I still sometimes regret his name due to the popularity of it. My name is common and I hated that growing up

Answer

We had a name picked out for a boy. That was so easy and we agreed on it right away. I told my husband we needed a girl name. I’m not crazy about her middle name, like at all. It’s a family name though and means a lot to my husband since there’s no one else in the family with the next except his cousin. I agreed to it as a middle name only. He said ok without any hesitation. We have a hard last name to pronounce so I didn’t want a complicated first name. 
My mom suggested a name and we loved it, only it’s very similar to both of my nieces names so I changed it. Now that I’m saying the name altogether, I don’t hate it, but don’t love it either. 😩😩😩 Hubby laughs and tells me I can change it again if I want but I think he likes the name we chose.

Answer

We picked names when we decided to try to conceive and have not swayed at all. However, I was really hoping for a girl at first but as things progress I am kind of leaning towards a boy now. Funny how things change! Good luck with your name picking!

Answer

Not hormed but pregnancy but family members have. After I announced, suddenly all I hear is " I hope you pick a proper name. " "how about rose, or William" "don't do crazy names." Etc.....I have a name I am sticking to and it isn't classic or elegant, but im terrified I'll get shit for it for the rest of eternity.

Answer

My boyfriend and I were quite set on a name for both boy and girl and just found out Friday it’s a girl. It’s made us both stop and be like “let’s make sure we’re sure”. So we still love the name we had originally chosen but now that we know the gender it feels so much more real. Almost hard to describe.

Answer

Yes. It gets more real and stressful when you realize you’ll actually be having to pick a name forever. I had loved the name Gianna my entire pregnancy as my top pick. My husband didn’t really like it but I kept it at the top of my list. At one point my husband said he was actually starting to like the name and then I panicked and no longer liked it lol. We never ended up using it.
