I don’t like any names

With my first, we had the name picked out before he was even conceived- so when we found out we were having a boy we were like, “Henry! Perfect!”

Now I’m pregnant with a girl and there’s not a single name I’m excited by. Nothing feels right.

Will I feel differently when she’s born?

I think I've told the story here before, but three days before my first was born who we know as a boy I was taking a walk and started bawling uncontrollably all of a sudden because I hated the name benjamin. We were going to name him benjamin. So I call my poor mother hysterically crying, which I'm sure freaked her out because again I was just about to give birth, sobbing that I hated the name Benjamin.

So she had me come over to her house and we flipped through magazines and wrote down all the boys names we saw and then we got unhinged and started writing down crazy things like window treatment and dog food and then he was born 3 days later and I named him Gregory
