Naming late

[WaitingForOct]

I know it sounds silly, but we are so undecided about a name. Even sillier, we both want to see what she looks like first. Because if our genes, she really could have any hair color and possibly eye color. As well as type of hair, straight or curly, etc. That's if she's even born with hair! Anyway... if we really want to wait, can we? Is that ridiculous? Lol

I was given 3 days but I recommend you find out from the department that handles the names at the hospital you are delivering at, you should get a straight answer from them. Best wishes!

Not at all ridiculous.
My cousin and his wife still didn't have a name for their daughter 2 days after she was born. They finally gave her a name right before they were discharged.

[WaitingForOct]

Difference, not conference. :P

[WaitingForOct]

Thank you for the positive replies! I feel like everyone around me expects us to pick a name soon... and I'm just not decided. I'm happy to hear others waited. @love_my_4, I was curious how long I could wait to sign any paperwork with her name. Good to know. I was going to ask my next appt just to check. I agree that having time to see their personalities, just a little, makes a conference - to us anyway. :)

No it's not ridiculous! My husband and I were unsure what to name our daughter.My daughter actually came out from the hospital with no name, administration gave me 3 days to go back and register the name. We loved that we were able to bond with get before we gave her a name. I'm expecting in October and we will be doing it again.

That's not silly atcall that is wonderful :-) good for you so few ppl name baby after they are born anymore I feel like. My mil and fil named my husband 3 days after he was born :-)

I'm clueless on the name. Your not alone.  And I agree, some kids don't match their name. I think it's a great idea

[sprmom87]

I have a friend who has waited until all of her kids are born before she even starts thinking of names for them. She said she likes to meet them first :-).

[WaitingForOct]

I think you are very right! We've narrowed it down, but I just feel like some names don't fit, should she have certain traits. I won't be waiting days... just maybe until the next day when things start looking normal. :P

No, not ridiculous. Actually a lot of people are doing this. You'll know her name when you lay your eyes on her. It's funny how that works, but I'm sure it'll be a beautiful name :]
