Pregnant and feeling uninspired

When we were trying to conceive I became obsessed with names but now that I’m actually pregnant, I’m feeling pretty uninspired. I used to love the names [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] until I decided that they didn’t work so well with our surname which sounds similar to “[name_f]Sun[/name_f]” or “Sohn.” I’ve also decided that three syllable names might sound better with a one syllable surname. At the same time, I like the simplicity of names that don’t need nicknames. I feel like I’ve thought about names and their popularity so much that I don’t know what I like anymore. :frowning:

I would love to get your thoughts and ideas.

Currently on my list:

[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f] (Dec. due date)

[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Cormac[/name_m]

I really like [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u].

Some other suggestions…
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

I could be way off but I hope these suggestions help.

I like [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u].

And I feel for you! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I’m sure the bigger you get, the more scans you have, the more movement you feel… the more real this feels… you’ll get that zest back. Best of luck!

I really like [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and [name_u]Everett[/name_u].

Thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions :slight_smile:

I’m reconsidering [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] now!

I don’t really mind nicknames…I guess my point was that I’ve thought about names so much I don’t know what to think anymore!

But reading your post, @mirimouse, made me feel better. I’m sure you are right that it will get easier.

If anyone else has thoughts or ideas, please let me know!
