When did you let yourself start thinking about names?

[Annie050408]

DH and I have tentatively discussed names but we don't want to get too attached to any or say them out loudly until after the 12 week scan. For some reason the whole thing just won't seem like it is definitely happening until after we see what looks like a 'proper' baby on the scan.

Do other people feel like that?

I do feel the same regarding it not feeling real until scan and trying not to get too attached (impossible!) but we throw names around left right and centre! It's more fun than seriousness at mo!

We've only just started talking names with any seriousness in the last couple of weeks, even after the scan it hasn't really felt completely real until I started to show

I'm with you Bead! We've been talking about names for a few years, long before we started ttc. Every couple's different

We have only just seriously started thinking about names, although we knew middle names early on. We don't like to rush things but when i had my last babe we only had a boys name as convinced it was a boy, it took us 10 days to name her! So trying to be more prepared this time round lol
