I think you start off really vague and it takes ages....then I wrote a list of names I quite liked and would consider, not that easy as there are so few boys names I really liked and me and hubby have very different ideas...you find some names you like but you just can't imagine it as your son or daughters name, some you like but partner really hates....we finally narrowed it down to two...one I liked and would happily live with, but the other I loved so went with my heart. Decision made...simples!! lol xx
