One of the worst parts about pregnancy is that everyone seems to have an opinion about everything. It's amazing how many people offered their opinion to me on anything and everything from how they "would never breastfeed" or by making jokes and calling Walker "Texas Ranger", which ultimately led me to resent his name because I told Chris I did not want people to call him that.
I know - it's silly.
But when we found out we were pregnant with baby number two, we discovered just how hard it is to pick names that we both agree on. I like strange names with Asher and Archer as just a couple of the boy names that Chris quickly veto'd. Chris didn't throw any names out that he loved but he was quick to say "no" or "maybe" or, "I kinda like ________"
We bought a book of 100,000 baby names and started going through them. Of the 100,000 baby names, we have three complete boy names and two girl first names. We have the boy names in order of 1-3 (and Chris and I actually agreed on the order!) and the plan is to see which name fits him or her best.
We are not telling anyone (ANYONE!) the baby names so please do not ask us. It is nothing personal. I just don't want anyone's reaction (good or bad) to influence the names that we like.
Our baby's name will make it's debut when our sweet baby makes his or hers! : )
That is how we did it too. We felt like sometimes you just need to see someone first. I also did not want to hear everyones reaction. I made up a few to tell everyone, but they were never no the list.
