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? ![]() 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. |

we were similar the 2nd time around, we decided when I was about 4-5 months
gone that we wouldn't use the name Ada as a first name, then never really got round to having another conversation about it....guess what DD is called, yes, she's Ada. Really preparing the essentials takes minimal time, I had an urge at about 34 weeks to go shopping and get some stuff done, but literally, it was 2-3 shops (and in the US it would probably be 1), then maybe half a day getting things out at home and I was done. I didn't have a hospital bag packed, we were planning a homebirth anyway, but at that stage I put a box in a cupboard of things I wanted to hand immediately after the birth, rather than during, when the end of the pregnancy went stinky, it was a relief I'd done those things and when in the hospital I could just ask DH to stick that box in the car for afterwards (I was in hospital a week prior to the birth).

I like Madeleine Kate. I also love the name Katie and one of the names on
my list was Katie Scarlet (like in Gone With The Wind) which I think sounds so pretty. There are lots of baby naming websites that you can use where you can put in a name you like and it will come up with suggestions. Or you can ask for names beginning with a certain letter or with so many syllables. Or you may just wait until he/she is born and then decide he looks like a Michael or a Renee, ya know?

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. I know the feeling. I have a girl name and we're all pretty sure it will be a girl. (Sara Katrin) but all of a sudden the baby doesn't "feel" like a Sara anymore, plus I just found out Sara/Sarah is number 7 in the most popular names list this year. YAY. So now I'm trying to find another girl name with an S. And there aren't any! I like Salome but Sam already vetoed it and I kind of don't see me yelling "Salomeeeeeeeeeeeee" on the playground, Stefanie, Sonja, Susanne, Sabine all make me shudder because I know at least one of each who was a stupid cow. I like Sandra, but that's my cousins name. And really there aren't that many more that are pronouncable in german as well as in english/french. I like biblical names even though I don't "do" god/religion, simply because they're usually pronouncable in any language. I like Abigail, but in german... No go. Besides, doesn't start with an S. I like Ruth, but Sam doesn't. He wants a Sara Anna but Anna's my mothers name so I vetoed that *lol*. I hate picking out names. For Sam it took nearly the whole pregnancy and even then I wasn't sure, but I looked at him and he was a Samuel Christoph, so that was alright. I have no boy name. It better be a girl. All that said, I will go with Sara Katrin if I don't have some kind of epiphany or a name comes to me in my sleep. I also haven't done a thing concerning baby furniture. I have 3 plastic boxes of clothes (one for newborn, and the other two for the larger sizes), they're stackable and I used a system like that for Sam. No searching for clothes that fit, just put the too small ones away and grab something from another bin. I'll have to figure out where to put the changing-thing which is currently in Sams room being used as his dresser, but he agreed that the baby can have it, so that's ok. It's not like she'll need the drawers anyway. Then I'll have to work out where to put my large desk which is currently in my bedroom "holding" most of my sewing stuff. There'a really no other place for it though. UGH. I hate having to move furniture around! Well, another 2.5 months, that's plenty of time, right? Right? cu nicole |

Which is why you aren't fretting about any of this stuff. The first time around, you're so thrilled and excited that you want to take care of everything right away, and even 6 weeks feels like you've missed half of the pregnancy already! But with #2, there is a bit of reality that sinks in. A bit of the old "been there, done that" and don't need to buy the onesie just yet. It's not a bad thing. It's just that you've already been pregnant once, so the newness and shock has worn off. You know what to expect, and you have another child to take care of. Who has time to navel gaze for any other pregnancy than the first? 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 can't remember how far along you are, but it's nothing that needs to be decided any time soon. Really. That should take the pressure off. Our good friends just had a baby 3 days ago. A week before that they were still unsure of the final name choice. Didn't mean that they weren't exicted about the baby, or that they didn't want it, or were lazy, it just meant that they hadn't decided on the final name yet. Once they saw the baby, they chose names from their list that worked for them, based on family names. 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.

I am growing fond of Caitlin/Caitlyn actually... what else goes well with plain Kate though? Hannah Kate, I just don't know. I like Kate, although I tend to like longer names with good nicknames. I like Kate alot, but I'd want to use a longer version of the name and call her Kate. I have a Taylor that we call TayTay, although when she's older she'll just be Taylor. Not a very nick-namable name. My second is Addison, who we called Addie from the get go. I sort of like the formal name verses the private name concept. Maybe because my name is Jamie and I always got asked, "So, what is that short for?" Nothing. Just Jamie. Actually in high school I wanted a nickname so bad that I "lengthened" my name to James and that's what my close friends called me (and some still do). Anyway, I digress.... Personally I think Caitlin/Caitlyn is one of those popular names that I wouldn't use. I like more traditional -- Katherine, call her Kate. In terms of middle names, do you have female family members that you'd like to honor? Mom, grandmom, aunts, great aunts or great grandmothers? Anyone up there in the family tree from 50-100 years ago? Are there any good last names in that tree that might work? Somewhere in our family tree we had a woman named Lainie Gillespie, and I always wanted to use that name. But, Kate Gillespie, for example, if Gillespie was your maiden name, or a family name that you wanted to carry on, could sound nice. If you chose a short one syllable first name like Kate, I think a 2-3 syllable middle name works best. What about Kate Meredith. Kate Elizabeth. Kate Alexandra. Kate Delaney. Kate Mackenzie (not normally a fan of MacKenzie, but it flows nicely). Kate Mallory. Kate Adelle. Kate Ashely. Kate Charlotte. Kate Miranda. What about Jocelyn Kate? I could go on, but I don't know your last name...check out the babynamesworld website. They have a great search feature, where you can specify names that are X letters long, X syllables long, start with X letter, or start with any letter except X. You can say that you don't want a name that starts with the same initial as your last name, etc, plus specify all sorts of origins and meanings, etc. It's very cool. 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? ![]() I can see not wanting to use a name that is already in your family, at least not one that is there a lot. But it would also depend on who had already used it, and how often I saw them. For example, if it was my sister, I wouldn't use it. If it was a third cousin twice removed who I never ever see, then I'd use it. Especially if it was a family name and we were both honoring the same grandfather, etc, but even if I just really liked it. So for me, just because someone else has used it, doesn't automatically take it out of the running for me. Same goes with friends/neighbors, or people I know. Mostly it would depend on why I liked the name (again, if it was after a relative, or just a name that I liked), and the relationship I had with the people who had a kid with that name. And how hard was it for me to come up with a name that I liked? A neighbor down the street, or another mom in my moms group? Not a big deal to me, since I probably wouldn't be spending the rest of my life wtih these people, nor would my child. Dh and I named our first daughter years before we had her. I had been carrying around the name Taylor since I was in my early teens. It's my mother's middle name, and at the time that I decided I wanted to use it, it was a boys name. I would tell people that I was going to have a little girl and name her Taylor, and they look at me with surprise. Of course 20+ years pass before I actually have my little girl to name Taylor, and by then the 90's had come through and made it a hugely popular name for girls and for boys. But I decided not to let that sway me. It was a family name and a name that I loved, and something I'd always envisioned, and why should I let the fact that a bazillion other people had daughters named Taylor to stop me from having my own daughter named Taylor. And I've not regretted it yet. Her middle name is dh's mom's middle name, Marlys. (side note -- Ohhh, Kate Marlys has a nice ring to it...dh's mom's name is Kay Marlys, which is why it rings nicely with me!) Anyway, when it came time to think of names for our second daughter, we make lists and wracked our brains, but nothing was *it*. I was talking to an internet friend from across the country who was adopting a baby girl from Guatemala. She told me that she was going to name the baby Addison Grace, after two maternal grandmothers. Addison after Adelle, but never to be called Addie. As she told me this (via e-mail), I suddenly remembered a list of names that I'd written up in my early 20's. Addison Grace was on that list. I e-mailed her back and told her my story and asked her if she would mind if I used the name as well. She said she wouldn't mind. After all, we were on an e-mail list together, but we lived across the country and would likely never meet. And even if she would have minded (or did mind and just didn't admit to it), I would have used the name anyway. Because I liked it and it resonated for me. It turns out that it has some family connections on my mother's side, so that was a nice bonus. But mostly, we just liked it, and knew it was the name. The other thing that I really like about some of these name websites like babynameworld is that you put in a name that you like, and they give you similar names. For example, I liked Allison, but it seemed common. Although not used that much any more, but eh. But later I realised that Addison and Allison are VERY similar names. So if you like Thomas, maybe Timothy is similar enough? There is a book called Baby Name Wizard (and a website with sample pages) where you can find names based on "Style Families" or "Name Snapshots" or "Name Trends" or "Surnames", etc. If you like one name, they can give you other examples of names you might also like. You said you liked Zachary, Adam, Benjamin and Joshua. Those are all Bibical names. You might also like Caleb, or Ethan, or Jacob, Jeremy, Joel, Nathan, Simon, or Micah. In Style Families, they give you a name, and then tell you what their brothers or sisters would be named, or variants, or nicknames. For example, for Caleb, they say sisters would be Abigail, Chloe, Hanna, Sophie & Isabel, and brothers would be Gabriel, Cole, Connor, Elijah and Noah. I like all of those! 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. Don't worry about it. Really. You have plenty of time. Do you have a dh? What does he say? What does he lean towards? -- Jamie Earth Angels: Taylor Marlys -- 01/03/03 Addison Grace -- 09/30/04 Check out the family! -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clarkguest1, Password: Guest Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password |

What about Suzannah? #2 is Anna Sarah (#1 might have been Sarah but we knew too many to want to use it for #2) I like Abigail, but I really dislike Abi as an abbreviation, and neighter of us is keen on Gail. Other biblical names I can think of offhand: Rachel Rebecca Hannah Mary/Maria Tabitha Eve Deborah Esther Marianne Martha Miriam Joaana/Joanne HTH Debbie All that said, I will go with Sara Katrin if I don't have some kind of epiphany or a name comes to me in my sleep. I also haven't done a thing concerning baby furniture. I have 3 plastic boxes of clothes (one for newborn, and the other two for the larger sizes), they're stackable and I used a system like that for Sam. No searching for clothes that fit, just put the too small ones away and grab something from another bin. I'll have to figure out where to put the changing-thing which is currently in Sams room being used as his dresser, but he agreed that the baby can have it, so that's ok. It's not like she'll need the drawers anyway. Then I'll have to work out where to put my large desk which is currently in my bedroom "holding" most of my sewing stuff. There'a really no other place for it though. UGH. I hate having to move furniture around! Well, another 2.5 months, that's plenty of time, right? Right? cu nicole |
