On the advice of my dad, who says he and my mom did this before my sister and I were born, Helen and I decided to play a fun little game. We each made a list of names we liked for the baby without showing each other, then shared and explained why we liked or disliked certain ones. We did this for both boy and girl names since we won't find out Norbit's gender for another few weeks. Having already discussed a few names informally beforehand, there were a few that appeared on both of our lists that we really like.
Many people have told us not to share our names with others 1) because everyone has an opinion and will critique our choices and 2) other pregnant families may love one of our choices so much they could steal it. So for now, we're not divulging any of our possible baby names. All I will say is that Roscoe, Benny Hill, Gertrude, Fanny, Chongo and Borat are all yours if you want 'em.
Parents, how did you pick your kids' names? Did you have them already chosen before the baby was born, or did you wait until you saw and 'met' your child to name him or her?
