I officially hate names. I hate having to name a child. I am having the most horrible time trying to find a name for my daughter. She's not due for 3 more months but, while she keeps growing and kicking away inside of me, I'm not making any progress with her name. Ever since I found out that I'm having a girl (on Christmas eve), every spare moment has been spent going through A-Z on various baby name websites, to no avail. I have managed to come up with two first names, neither of which am I OMG in love with. I come across many names that I like but none of which I would ever use.

My list consists of Quinn and Stella and, honestly, I don't even know how I feel about those names, nor do I have middle name ideas for either. Help? - with first or middle names. The last name is Trenholm.

I'm so close to throwing in the towel and just letting her pick her own name. For real.

I'm not that fond of Quinn, but Stella is a favorite of mine. It also sounds better than Quinn with Trenholm, in my opinion.

It's okay not to be omigod-in-love with a name if names aren't your thing. There's time yet for one to jump out at you, but don't worry too much if one doesn't--just go with one you like.

Maybe you could choose a middle name based on someone you admire, whether it's a family member or friend, or someone famous (author, historical figure, fictional character, whatever). For example, I'm planning to use Elsie as a middle name after my grandmother, if I have a girl. I like several names from Arthurian legend for each gender, like Gavin, Tristan, Guinevere, and Iseult--I might use one of those as a first name. Maybe if you share some of your favorite things and people, we could come up with some similar or variant names.
