Baby names and NO idea
I don't have the time to dwell on this pregnancy like I did with #1 and it's
really obvious. I had names picked out the first week and all this shopping to do and started working on the nursery. This time around, I figure we'll wait until about 8.5 months and throw something together if we even fix the room up before the birth- I saved all the baby gear so we have the crib and swing etc. I saved clothing too a lot of which is unisex for the first year.. Even worse though, I haven't a CLUE about names. I do think about it, but I have not hit upon a name I really like for either gender and if I do have something I'm partial to, I cannot come up with a nice middle name. Ack. Has anyone else gone until the last minute and had no name?? I am far from last minute- LOL. But I keep telling myself I won't think of names until the last month or so. I know what NOT to name. Any name that's in use by close relatives for their kids, is a no go. And debatably, I try to stay away from names that are exceedingly common around here, debatable because if we move it could change. I try to stay away from names that I know too many of personally as well. One name I have always liked for a girl is Kate. Simply Kate. Kate not-short-for-anything, Kate is the full name. Problem is I can't make it work as a first name, only as a middle name, and I prefer to name my kids what they'll be called as there first name, for no logical reason, it's just a thing I have. My brother goes by his middle and all his mail and listings are in his first name. Seems simple to avoid that. So, Kate what? What Kate? I am out of ideas. Meredith Kate? Too clsoe to Mary Kate.Someone suggested to me Katelyn Brooke, but I don't know...not fond of Katelyn. If I did use, it would be Caitlyn. Or is it Caitlin? I am growing fond of Caitlin/Caitlyn actually... what else goes well with plain Kate though? Hannah Kate, I just don't know. For a boy I have even less ideas as I don't have a name that I love like Kate. Zachary?.....William....? Joshua? I can't come up with anything. All the boy names I like are "taken" by family members. I like Thomas but it's way taken. I like Benjamin, it's used by someone nearby and I would feel awkward to name my kid that too. Same with Adam. It's actually used by two people so it would be more awkward, otherwise I like Adam...grrr! It really would feel awkward to name my kid something that someone related to me or near me in some way has named their kid, you know? They took all the good names, how could they do that to me? :P LOl but really, I feel like if I have nothing else ready that's fine but it's too bad not to have a name. This means I will surely go into labor early and will not be prepared. |
