Ranger I feel like I may have asked you this question, but I don't remember the answer.  So, if this is redundant - sorry.

How do you decide which twin you are going to name what?  Is baby A always name 1 and baby B always name 2?  Will you decide when they come out based one who looks like name 1 and vice versa?

Re: *Colleen, Ranger, Ttiff*

  • We've been having this discussion, actually. I'm really not sure what we're going to do yet!

    Because ours are identical, they should look the pretty much the same... so we can't really determine which to name based on looks. But, so far they seem to have different temperaments... Baby A is hyper and never stops moving. Baby B is always laid-back and let's the u/s tech get the measurments she needs, Baby A is always hiding and being difficult. So based on that, we may decide their names (Delaney as A and Adelyn as B).

    DH wants to wait until we have them and then see how they act but I don't like the idea of waiting a day or so to decide so who knows!

  • Well the plan was the pick two names and see what they looked like when they came out before assigning the names to A/B. The reality is that we have only one name. We are bringing our list and I guess we'll decide when they come out which one looks like the name we picked and then decide what name the other baby looks like. I personally think it's going to be difficult since babies are all smushy when they come out, but this is what DH wants to do and I can't really object since we don't have a second name.

    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  • Our plan in the beginning was to wait until they were born and decide who looked more like that name... well yeah thats a load of carp cause they looked the same when they were born....lol  So in the end I am glad we didn't wait because you really couldn't just look at them and feel one was one name over the other.

    Anyway, I had sorta commented on this during the "what does your kids name mean" post.  We finally decided on Lily and Hannah around week 30?  Maybe a little earlier, I can't remember.  So the name Hannah means grace, and while they were in me Baby B was way more active, but had slower more fluid movements.  So I kinda joked that she was graceful and started just thinking of her as Hannah, and Lily for Baby A since she was more laid back and shy (like a wallflower and Lily is a flower).  

    DH kinda just assumed towards the end that we were still waiting until they were born and then the night before we had the discussion about how I have been thinking that Hannah was baby B and Lily baby A.  So when we went into the c/s we just told the doctors that Baby A who was on my left side was going to be Lily and then baby B who was on my right was going to be Hannah.  So they pulled Lily out first and we named her Lily and Hannah came out second and named her Hannah.   So that's how they got their names.... and Hannah is still my mover and shaker and is more advanced than Lily physically so its funny that she moved a lot while in me and still does!!!  And Lily is definitely still laid back and shy!!
