Stuck between 2 names! Any advice?

Question

I’m stuck between 2 names for our baby and I can’t make a decision.

Answer

Post the names anonymously in a poll

Answer

I was reading a book called “the doulas guide to empowering your birth” and it talked about connecting with your baby’s name by meditation and asking the baby what they feel their name is. Not an approach everyone might feel works for them, but it might be a way to see what name “feels” like your baby’s name. Good luck!

Answer

You have a lot of time to decide! We didn’t name our daughter until I was 32 weeks and one of my good friends didn’t name her baby until she was 37 weeks. Don’t rush something that is so so important!

Answer

There’s a lot of time to decide. Just keep imagining using them, and see which feels better. It was so weird to use my kids’ names for a while after they were born. They are new people, so sometimes it just takes using it more to feel comfortable. We don’t find out gender until birth, so I think that adds to the hesitation since we keep the names to ourselves until the baby is here and we know if we’re using the boy name or girl name.

Answer

I would say wait it out then, you have time. I really want to pick our baby's name early on, but we are struggling to agree on a name we both love even though we have several we both like. Don't force it, it'll come to you eventually.
