2nd baby

Can you ever be as sure about your second baby's name as you were the first (if they are the same gender)? DD's name is perfect and 2 years on, I'm still in love with it. She's called Wren Melissa. If baby is a boy, we'll use our boy name from last time, Willoughby Jonathan, which I still adore. I just can't get as excited about any new girls' names, though. My current favourite is Isolde Elizabeth, by I'm just not as absolutely sure of it as I was with Wren. Is it because Isolde isn't the right name or will I not feel that certainty this time?

Yeah...i love my second name for a girl. I really hope to have another :)

You could try coming up with fresh ideas for middle names and see if that helps seal the deal for Isolde. If that doesn't help, keep searching for the right name.

it is harder. I had my #1 boys and girls names picked well before I had kids. first two kids were a girl then a boy. favorite names: used up! third pregnancy we waffled FOREVER on a boy name until finally settling on one and I actually am quite in love with it still (he turns 7 next month)

as for girls, obviously we had another name picked during my second pregnancy, in case he was a girl, and during my third pregnancy changed our minds and went with a different one (had a boy again) and then when we had #4 I was sure it was a girl.. we went back to the name we had picked during our 4th pregnancy and I still rather like it (she is 5 now). incidentally we never did pick a new boy name that pregnancy.

#5, finally let my husband pick a name. I'm not a in love with it as I am with my first two girl names but it was his choice and he loves it so it's ok. we picked a boy name we were 'meh' about but we had a girl anyway.

#6.. girl pick was again my husband's. but we had a boy. we were still waffling on names up to several days after he was born, but finally came up with one that I think goes quite well with the first two and am still happy with it. much better than the one we'd picked during our 5th pregnancy.
