It may not be hard for everyone, but it was hard for us!
We had a girl name from the very beginning. Ariana in case you need a good girl name.
But had the hardest time with finding a boy name. Each boy was born without a name. I am always amazed when people know the name months before they have the baby. Or sometimes even before they are pregnant!
With T1 he was 6 weeks early so we had a good excuse. He was named before he left the hospital.
T2 was 2 weeks late and we had a list of our top 10 and I had been whispering the name I liked in DHs ear each night. When DH said he looks like a C. I suddenly wasn’t sure. But in the end indeed he was a C. He too left the hospital with a name.
T3 was 1.5 weeks late and we had a list of 40 names. Names like Zeus and Shark Boy (thanks to suggestions from T1 and T2) The name I really wanted – Gideon – was relegated to his middle name. He went home from the hospital without a name, but a few days later we went back to fill out his birth certificate. It took awhile to figure his name out. I still sometimes wish we went with Gideon. I guess I should have been whispering it in DHs ear. But at least it is one of his names.
I have been on the hunt for another boy name for years, just in case!
