Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

So I'm going off my girls name choice. I don't know why and after all the drama you'd think I would be set but no.
Bub should be here in 5 wks so I'm in no rush but I'm brain dead and can't think of anything so I'm turning to you the name experts. Our first choice was Ariana, didn't have a middle name picked out. Others on the list are: Annalise Violet Gabriella Sasha Abigail If it's a boy he will be Felix Robert. Sibling names are Cooper, Lucas and Jackson. DP and I have very different taste in names. I like things like Aurora, Emmeline, Addison etc and he likes the above names, nothing else. When he suggests names it seems to be more traditional names. I think I'm going off Ariana even though I love it because when I picked cooper and Lucas they weren't popular, then I named them and the names popped. I don't want that to happen again. I don't want a common name, I want something a little different so there aren't a million of them at school. DP picked Jackson despite me telling him how common it was. I still love the name, I'd have picked something else due to its popularity though. Thank you for your suggestions. ETA: I've gone through the last 26 pages of girl name posts and haven't found anything we agree on. This post has been edited by InsertAwesomeHere: 29/01/2013, 09:31 AM |

Those are a little too unusual for either of our liking. I always feel rude saying I'm not a fan of someone's suggestions.

Arielle and Adeline I like but DP vetoed.
Ange - that seems more in the right direction. Those names I like but don't love like the ones already on the list. Actually I do like Esther enough to be on the list but I'm pretty sure DP will veto it. |

I like all the names on your list but I love Annalise and Violet. Would either of you consider Genevieve?
