Update: I went into labor a little early, just a few days after this ran, and we still didn’t have a name. I was almost hoping for a boy because at least we agreed! But we had our third girl. And it turned out that choosing her name was easy, thanks to the most amazing […]

UPDATE: She’s here! Cara writes: I really appreciated all the feedback, and the tough love, too, Abby! We talked about it a lot, and I realized that my husband was never gonna go for Elora.

He’s here. Please welcome Finn Joseph! Nadia says “We couldn’t decide AT ALL, even though I liked so many of these ideas. The night before my due date I dreamed we named him Finn. And even though I’m sure my husband shot it down for one (maybe more?) of our boys before, it was like […]

UPDATE: He’s here! “All the comments helped us feel confident in choosing a name we really loved instead of trying to match, and especially the feedback about it being normal for siblings to share a middle name like Fletcher.

READ MORE >>Name Help: A Sister for Hallan Grace
Update: We liked a lot of the names suggested, but still felt like none of them were special enough. And then my mother-in-law mentioned that her older sister’s name was Elaine, and she was very close to my husband when he was little. (But had passed away before we met.)
