What is your name picking style? Do you try to have them similar to your other childrens names? Do you run to the internet and look at baby name websites? Do you have a whole library of name books? I want to know what do you do.
I usually go on the internet to look for names after historic individuals whether it be saints or someone who did such good for the world, and I love naming my children after someone that I knew did a lot of good for the world...hoping someday they would strive to do the same.
I did it different with all three. My mom suggested Dalton for the first (she had recently read a book that had this name in it) and I fell in love with it. With my second I heard the name Brody and just knew that was his name. Now, with this one it was my husbands turn and his name will be Marcus Alexander. Good luck =)
We almost had a Marcus with this one until she decided to swap to being a girl. :) Great names!

Did they think it was a boy at first? I ask because when I had my US the lady said she was 85% sure it was a boy. He was breech and the cord was a little in the way but I thought it was a boy.
yep 13 week and 18 week u/s thought possibly boy...she just told me she wasnt totally sure on it...and she was more less certain at 18 week what the sex was. then at my 21 week u/s this week, she was alll girl! doc even bet his paycheck on it!

Wow. Congrats! Sure you will come up with a perfect name for your little girl.
I want something classic and familiar but not overdone. I often look at name books to get ideas, but I'm still not certain on a name.
Trying to find a replacement for my old caffeine habit?
