My husband and I have agreed on a few names for our baby, but what if we have more? We have three names - two girls and a boy.We can't seem to agree on anything more and it's quite frustrating. Any helpful hints? We don't know what to do.

Honestly, my advice is to cross that bridge when you come to it. No use worrying about something that MIGHT happen years in the future. (Assuming you aren't currently pregnany with triplets or something, you are already ahead of the game with three names you agree on! ) For now, just casually talk about names when they come up. If you hear a name you love, mention it. If your husband mentions a name he heard and likes, keep an open mind. By the time you get the point where you really NEED another name, you'll have had years to discuss names and you'll likely have a few more options that you agree on.


I like to plan way ahead also, so I understand wanting to have it all set in stone now. But try not to worry too much.

I also say don't worry about it right now, just pick out the name you want to use this time. With my oldest there was only one boys name we both agreed on. It was a toss up between two girls names. At that time they did not do sonograms on everybody so we didn't know what the baby would be. Lucky it was a boy so we didn't have to decide which girls name we wanted. With my second child we knew it was going to be a boy and we were able to come up with a name we both liked. With my third I found out it was going to be a girl but we didn't want either of the girls names from my first pregnancy. So times change and I'm sure if you have a second, third, or more children you will be able to come up with a name you both like.
