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.

Oh I definitely will. Because tbh, nothing else compares. And I just cant find anything else
 I've looked everywhere, nearly every day.He wants Jovie (I don't). I want Poet (he doesn't). He is ok with Alba (but I don't know if I can settle for that. But I don't want him to just settle either). He pretty much said she would have been named Fox, if she was a boy  typical! An now he likes West/Weston. No doubt he would have done the opposite though, saying he'd have agreed to Poet. Congrats on your DH coming around to your name. Thanks Kerilyn. Not a fan of those sorry. Thanks chillidog. I love Clara, Quinn & Arlo. All of which he has said no. Though haven't suggested Arlo for a girl yet. Doubt he'll go for it but

Jovie has the same ending as Marley, would that bother him enough? Whereas Poet means all your kids have different endings. he sounds so difficult!
DH wanted Hannah which I adore, but we have a Noah already and I feel there too close. |

Having the same struggle as you are with names (although this is only our third). I come up with some and DH hasn't really given me much to work on apart from every now and then saying -randomly- 'we should come up with some names'
 So what I have on my list right now: boys - Aric Rune Ryker Thor Royce Tynan girls - Bria Darcel (this is a French boys name but I prefer it as a girls one) Zuri Akira My little girl is Eylee Rhode (FN pronounced like Kylie without the K) and my boy is Raife Gannon - so we are very much looking at the unusual names. All the best |
