Mady asked:
Wait until they were born to name them? I don’t mean have a few names picked and see which one fits better. I mean do not even think of one name and when you see the child, you name the child the first name that comes to mind. I am attempting this with my son. I have had 3 children before, but never have done this. My 3 other kids are named:

I have had 3 children before, but never have done this. My 3 other kids are named:
Brody James: born 20 years ago, and passed at 17 mos. from SBS (shaken baby syndrome) caused by his father, who had left me for the nanny (the SBS was diagnosed a year after his death)
Valentino Brody: Born sleeping 19 years ago on Valentines day. We had the named Vincent chosen, but Valentino was perfect.
Julia Valentine: Born 17 years ago. I raised her until she was 16 and she left to live with her father. I have not seen her since she left, it will be 2 years ago she left on my baby’s due dae.
I have had many losses, and I realized you are not to expect things from life but to take them as they come, and that is why I am doing this with my son’s name. How did you come up with your child’s name?

Aww bless you…so sorry for your losses..may this baby bring you much happiness
We named our 1 yr old about 10 mins after she was born.
We couldn’t agree to a name up until then. We didn’t know whether the baby was a boy or girl!
my husband said ‘what about Georgia?’.
I new immediately it was the right one.
We had not even thought of the name before.

Well you’ve had many loses and I feel sorry for you. However now you’re expecting a new baby and let’s wait and see what the future holds for you…
I named my children before they were born… we had several names picked out…well actually I changed my daughter’s middle name once she was born.
I had chosen Gabriella Elizabeth for her… but after she was born I changed it to Gabriella Rose.
I mean you could wait and see what to name your son… but naming a child is indeed tough so Im thinking that if you wait till your baby’s born… what if you cant decide??
How bout having a few names picked out and then decide ?? IMO…
Best of luck!

Well to answer your question with my daughter, my husband chose her name. (Adriana Marie) With my son on the way I chose Chase Michael-Thomas, I adore the name Chase.
I’m so sorry to hear all your losses. You sound like a strong woman who endured a lot but still making it. May God continue to Bless you through everything. Not to mention your baby is due on my birthday!
Best of luck

Obviously I have never had kids so I can’t truly know what it is like, but I don’t think there is a right way to pick out a name for your child. You should do whatever you feel is right.
I’m sorry for all of your losses and I wish you the best of luck with your new son!

sometimes, there when you first see your new baby you will be like:
that’s it.i know exactly what i want to name him.
you don’t NEED to have a name picked before birth
Comment by Beautiful disaster on November 26, 2009 at 11:07 pm
My mom named all of us girls after we were born. While she was preggers with me she read a few good books and thats where i got my name from.
Comment by Mic on November 28, 2009 at 5:37 pm
No, we didn’t do that. With our last child, we had a few names picked out. As we looked at him after he was born, we went through all the names, and one just felt right so that is what we named him. The middle name was a last minute choice-my maiden name-which my husband thought of.
Best of luck to you!

I’m so sorry for your loss:(
Really, I am. You must be an incredible person to get through all that.
I don’t have any kids yet (I’m 13, lol), but my parents named me Anne Lorraine for my paternal (Anne) and maternal (Lorraine) great-grandmothers. They both had incredible roles in my parents’ lives, so I’m really honored to be named after them. As far as I know they had my names way in advance, as well as my three other sisters, but you’ll most likely be much happier with your son’s name if you look at him and just know what you want to name him.
Best of luck!

Hi,
I am very sorry about your losses. You seem very very well put together about it all. I am proud for you.
I have one daughter, Arizona Lana-Cate.
My name is Anya Cate. Anya is a Russian name, (my mother was half russian) It means Favour/Grace I was not named until I was about 2 weeks old, (hah! I know!) My father chose the name out of a list of other Russian names because of it’s meaning. Since the day i was born he said i was so very graceful even in my litle cries and my movements. (He still thinks i am! yay!) My grandfather also died a few months before I was born, when my mother was pregnant. He told my mother that, The biggest FAVOUR you can do your mother and I, is to raise this baby, better than we raised you. My mother had a blessed childhood, but my grandfather always wanted better! That’s just the man he apparently was.
Cate is derivative of my grandmothers name, Katerina. The C is from my grandfather’s name, Cael.
I think my name has beautiful reasonings behind it
My daughter’s name, is Arizona Lana-Cate.
Hope it helps your curiosity!
Her father and I were on a road trip, and we’re in Arizona when we found out I was pregnant. I never thought of it as a name, until I was in labour. I was talking to a nurse to distratct myself, and telling her, how we found out in Arizona. The name then sort of hit me, and i then saw her and yelled at my fiance, Oh, What about Arizona? .
Her first middle name, Lana is from Lana Turners Her grandmother’s name; Alana. Lana Turners is one of my icons, I think she is just stunning -
Then Cate, Is after me and my relatives.

My husband and I couldn’t agree on a name for our son that we both really liked. We decided on Malcom. After he was born c-section he had to go straight to the neonatal ICU so I didn’t get to see him right away. The first time I saw him he was getting his heel pricked for a blood sample and was screaming. But I think he was actually talking to me. Right then I knew his name was Evan. Hubby and I hadn’t ever even mentioned that name and it’s not in our family, just out of nowhere. I think he told me his name.
Comment by GEEGEE on December 2, 2009 at 11:37 pm
I had my daughter named before she was born- Angela Cathleen. My son was originally going to be Edward James, but at the last minute he was named Anthony Vincent.
You have had a rough life, and your realization of the world came the hard way, but I hope you have true happiness with the new baby.
Comment by 36 weeks 5 days with Helena Joy on December 5, 2009 at 8:56 pm
I am so very sorry for your losses. I am expecting my first daughter, due 2 days after your son, and I decided on her name Helena Joy, just a few days ago. I think that is nice what you are doing, and who knows, maybe I will change my mind about the name once my little baby girl is here! I wish you all the best with your son, and I hope one day, maybe your daughter will contact you again, if that is what you wish.
Comment by jewlz j on December 6, 2009 at 2:53 am
naming a child is something personal so u name the child when u see fit. altho i dont advise an entire day of just calling the child baby.lol
u may have a name picked and then look at the child and be like u know wat i want something else.
