Re: POLL: It's easier for me to name

  • I could name 15 boys if I had to.  

    Girls are SUCH a challenge for me.  There are so many girls in our families, and after you factor in names we just can't use for one reason or another, I feel like we are left with almost nothing.

    I have been so upset for the last week because I feel like this child, if a girl, will not have a name.  :/

  • Now see, I could name 15 girls. Boys are so hard, I've used the one boy name that I like.

    My Aunt always says you will have the sex that you can't name, so I guess in a way that's good for me since I want all boys, it just makes this name thing a challenge.

    Same here.... our family is pretty much all girls & I teach so that rules out a ton of names automatically.

    We had the hardest time choosing a girl's name this time around.... for the longest time I was convinced that we'd never decide on a name & she'd eventually just get stuck with something that was "okay" and not something that we loved.  I was so upset for the longest time.  In the end though, it just came to us..... there's still plenty of time & hope!  (but I totally get where you're coming from)

  • We have a ton of boy names... Zachary, Owen, Nathan, Lucas.... Girls were always hard for us and then we had to name two more when we found out the twins were girls!  LOL
  • Girls are a little easier for me, but I'm a teacher and I've taught way too many difficult kids so I said both are hard.
  • Boy names are really hard for me/ us. There are several girl names that I love.

    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  • I have a short list (5-6 names) for each sex.  Although I have a fave for each one, I'm a firm believer in seeing my child & holding him/her before something "clicks".  For me it's not so much finding names for a certain sex as it is finding a name that goes with our last name & is easy enough for Americans to deal with @ the same time!
