How did you finally decide?

DH and I have two girls names that we both like. I don't know if we should try narrowing them down to one or just take both to the hospital. If you were in a similar situation, did you end up taking more than one name to the hospital, or did you narrow it down to a sole name? Either way, how did you finally decide on "the one?" My only concern with taking both is that I am an indecisive person and am afraid I won't be able to make a decision.

I'm indecisive, too...we took nine (yep, nine) names with us to the hospital for a boy and one for a girl. And, of course, we had a boy. He was two days old before he had a name. We tried talking to him, we tried calling him by every name on the list and a few that weren't...nothing clicked. All perfectly good names, but it was so hard to make that commitment. Then, at last, DH and I were sitting there alone with the baby and he furrowed his little brow and I asked him "what are you so pensive about?" And that was it...we went with the name that had been most likely before he came--Penn.
