Whats your baby look like?

So being that I'm obsessed with names right now, instead of asking prospective parents if its a boy or girl I ask what are the names they are thinking about.

We took one girl name and nine boys names to the hospital with our son. We simply couldn't narrow it down any more than that. Of course, now he looks totally different than he did when he was born--he had reddish brown hair and no chin and now he's a grinning blondie-bear. But it still suits him (helps that we picked a name hardly anyone has heard of--no preconceived notions.)
But, yeah, if we have a girl, we have our one name. So you can see where I'm going with this--if you have one name you love, use it. If you're not sure, don't feel pressured. Our son was two days old before we finally settled on his name. Give yourself a little room (but not too much, or you can be like the couple in the southwest whose daughter was over two and they still hadn't named her.)
I was supposed to be a boy so when I came out they were not prepared either. So I was Baby Girl Thompson in the maternity ward for 2 days, until my dad had a revelation listening to Hall & Oates on the way to pick my mother up at the hospital.
We went with a name picked out but had a few others in mind incase we thought the name didn't 'fit' her.

I went into the delivery room with one girl name and one boy name with my first two since we didn't know the sex.
