For mom’s who have children already, how soon did you choose your child/children’s name(s)?

Question

Both of my children’s names were picked early on (first trimester), and I was just curious how soon other parents picked their children’s names. 
I’m 5 weeks pregnant with our 3rd and trying not to pester my husband too early about picking a name. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I'm TTC and I have 5 names for each sex. I plan on only choosing one when I meet the baby I hopefully have. Id like to spend time with my baby and make sure it fits so probably will only choose just before leaving the hospital.

Answer

With our first I had chosen her name before we even decided to try for a baby! Our second didn’t have a name until he was 3 days old

Answer

All 3 kids were decided in the 1st trimester. Both my husband and I were kinda stuck on the subject until it was decided. We found out sex each time around 11 weeks and names were already picked before we knew boy or girl each time so it was fairly early that it was decided.

Answer

We chose when i was pregnant but then changed it when she was born 🙃🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

First: as we were filling out the birth certificate 😅🤦‍♀️
Second: 2nd trimester 
Third: maybe 2 weeks prior to birth so, third trimester.

Answer

We figured out the two names we liked best in third trimester but didn’t actually pick the one until he was born- well a day old

Answer

I’m 21 (with no kids & not ttc) and I already have names picked out for down the road. 
Now.. of course, I’ve thought about the fact that I’m most likely going to get pregnant at some point and that my SO will probably want a say in the matter so I’m willing to fluctuate a bit with the names. These are just names that I’ve had in my head for a number of years now and am stuck on but if my SO wanted to pick a name or had one he really wanted, I wouldn’t be totally against allowing him to come up with a name. 
Just depends. 
Boy: Cason Shane 
Girl: Hayslee Michelle 
These names are totally up for grabs as well so go nuts if one of y’all happens to like them 👀

Answer

My first we knew right away but it took us a long time (2weeks before he was born) to decide on a name.
