Did you call your baby by its name before it was born??
- yes
- no
- couldn't decide a name till the baby was born
You will be able to change your vote.

Definitely! One of the many reasons I always get so caught up in baby names until we finally decide on one ... I can't stand talking about "it" or "the baby" all the time. I'd much rather have a name to call them. It also seems to help a LOT once your other kids are old enough to grasp that there's a baby in there that will be coming out at some point. ;) Kaitlyn would introduce my belly to people as Devanie Rose or Abigail Fiora once they were named (always using their full names of course LOL), and even Devanie would point to my belly and say "Ai-laaaaa" whenever anyone asked her where the baby was (and now rubs Aila's head and does the same thing, so I think she gets it LOL). Being able to use the baby's name seems to help them bond before she's even born.

I had to vote no as we never found out the sex before hand.

Like you, we had never found out the sex of the baby with our first two boys. With our third pregnancy, we really wanted to know so we found out--another boy!! But still, we never called our baby by thier names because we never decided until we saw them and figured out which name fit best.
