Ok, our baby just isn't going to have a name. We're completely stressing over it. We haven't found a name we love in 3 years...what actually makes us think we will come up with one in the next 5-6weeks?????
Becky, I was just reading a book that said that "Aviva" is going to be a cool girls' name soon. You should be a trendsetter! And if it's a boy, Joel would like to respectfully submit... Joel. :)
i am firm believer that you can have names 'narrowed down' before the birth, but you cannot really name the baby until after you see him/her and hold him/her and look into his/her eyes. it will come to you then. i would not sweat it. besides, in WI, you have up to a year to name your baby. maybe florida is the same? if so, you'll have plenty of time!
Well, we think we have 2 boys names (Adam's fav. and mine). As for girls, we might? have 2-3 names. I guess we'll wait until we see him/her to make a final decision, but it isn't easy to pick a name!
In FL, baby must be named before leaving the hospital--birth certificate filled out, SS# applied for.
Peg is so right about seeing you new baby BEFORE naming them. I told you how poor Dave was unnamed for 3 days ! In Illinois you only have 72 hours to have an "unnamed" child!
Seriously, have a name picked but be prepared to change it should the new little one not look like the name you picked! I don't care what anyone says - that is the truth. You can pick Pippy Long Stockings for a girl or Long JOhn Silver for a boy and then when the baby is born it may look like a Sarah or a Teddy..(you know what I mean).
Don't get stressed over this....my gosh.....the poor child ONLY has to live with that name for the REST OF THEIR LIFE!!!!!!!!! (And keep that in mind too.....)

The hospital actually names the baby for you. It will be Boy Rosenbaum, or Girl Rosenbaum ! No stress!!!!!
I think "baby boy" or "baby girl" are fantastic names. Let's just go with that...
Does Aviva sound like Kia's next model of a car???
I like joel. I think it is a fine name!
I think if it's a Boy you should pick Gavin. That's a great name for a Boy and for a girl How about Ava..
Whoever you are....we love Ava, but it is a direct dirivitive of Eve...Adam doesn't really like the idea of Adam and Eve...sounds silly.
We would have picked Ava Claire in a heartbeat, otherwise!
