He who shall remain nameless
Well, I'm now past 35 weeks, and I still don't have a name, or even a list of possible names, for this kid. In fact, I still refer to him as "she" frighteningly often. I still dream about him being a girl. I *know* he;s a boy, I really do. I accept it. I've been buying boy clothes to make it more real. But I can't seem to convince my subconscious.
I'm starting to get desperate. I don't want to go home with "Baby Boy," I don't want to call and email family and friends after the birth and tell them we have a new bundle of joy, and no, I don't know what we're going to call him. Unfortunately, desperation isn't leading to inspiration. Rex hasn't been a whole lot of help, either. I think I spoiled him by coming up with the girls' names on the first shot. We didn't really argue or discuss, we never even considered boys names and we always went with my first idea. I guess I'm spoiled, too.

Good luck! We didn't know what our youngest was going to be until she was born. We had a boy name from almost the beginning, but it was really down to the wire (like a week before birth) that we found a girl name we liked. I'm sure you'll think of something besides, "Baby Boy".
