Taste of Names Change While Pregnant?

I just wonder what others opinions are on this and if it has happened to anyone else?

A little bit. Just yesterday, I found a list of names I had put together when I was ttc and another from early pregnancy. Ds's name isn't listed, except as a possible middle name. By the end of my pregnancy, though, it was the only name that felt right.
I just went with it. It made me happy to think that feeling of rightness came from ds. It may have just been pregnancy hormones, of course, but I still say he "named himself," because he ended up with a name I had not first considered.
As long as it's still a good name, and not something embarassing or awful, I say don't worry too much if your tastes seem to be changing. I think your baby will end up with just the right name.
I'm dying of curiosity, though! What names are you likeing now?
Yeah, I think my taste has changed some.
Yes it definitely happened to me! I had DS#1 name all picked out and at 5 months, we changed our minds and I was glad!
This time, I just changed my mind--at 8 months!

To tell you the truth if I even think of names I feel like I want to vomit, lol. I have nausea 24/7 but to think about naming a child makes me feel even worse. Although thinking of anything makes me feel worse, oh the joys of pregnancy. ;) So I haven't even looked at names since I found out I was pregnant. I'm questioning Emera and I just loved it before I got pregnant and we've had it picked out for some time now. Dh says we're not changing the names which I agree because I do think I'd regret not using it if we did change it. I really like Quinn Eddison and I feel Quinn goes well with Ethan and Logan. I think back to some of the names that had crossed my mind and ones I've posted on here and think I was ridiculous to have even liked such names, lol. Maybe it's like someone else said that it's more reality now that you actually do have to name a child and you want the perfect name and not one that's horrendous. I do think we need a name that goes well with Ethan and Logan (and the same style) and that was never part of our criteria before. I guess I thought I had the perfect name picked out for a girl (Emera Brynn) and now I'm just not 100% sure and I don't know if my thoughts or tastes are tainted by pregnancy hormones...
