When did you start thinking about baby names?

For me since grade school (I'm 19 now).





Of course I'm not planning on having kids any time soon, but it's always nice to be prepared.





I love collecting baby names.

When did you start thinking about baby names?
Since I was in the 7th or 8th grade. I swear I had came up with so many names I was going to write a book. But my parents through all them names out.





I am now 23 years old and trying to conceive. My name list is still growing.
Reply:i've been doing it for a while (17 now) i just like making them up and thinking of new ones.
Reply:When I was younger and not married, I used to make up names for my children, when I had them. I had names for both boys and girls. Now I have three boys, and I started thinking seriously of names for them about a good month or two before they were born. With my oldest, I was on my own, so his name came to me while I was crocheting a blanket for him. With my second, his dad insisted on giving him his name, so that boy is a junior, and with the third, his dad tried to con me into giving him the same name again, but I didn't want to be like George Foreman, the boxer who has 5 boys all with his name, so we had to think a little harder. He did insist on both boys having his initials, so we came up with a name that worked with those initials.

Reply:Forever! I'm 15 and have been interested in baby names for years (not planning on having any kidos anytime soon) :D
Reply:LOL! I've been coming up with baby names since grade school too. I was like 6 or so and I got this doll for my birthday and I kept trying to come up with the perfect name for it. Eventually I started writing down all my favorite names in my notebooks and I still do that now and I'm 21.
Reply:hehe me to! i started when i was about 14 in a little diary :) but i rememeber making up baby names for my dolls when i was small! im 21 now and have to say my names have changed lol since i was 14 :P
Reply:I've kept journals with names in them since I was about six. My mother still has a few of the early ones.
Reply:Gosh probably since i learned to talk! haha! I can remember naming all my babydolls as if they were children..when i was in elementry school...and in middle school me and my best friend picked out our favorite names...She had a baby boy last year and named him what she picked out years ago (Jacob Colter)....i on the other hand have switched about a million times since lol....my current fav girl name is Ella Raye! and boy is Nathan Alex!
Reply:I actually don't. I had my son almost 2 years ago, and didn't even know what we were going to name him until he was born and I met him the first time. Now I'm pregnant again and totally uncertain of what my baby's name will be.
Reply:When my sister and I were kids, (she's now 30 and I'm 34) we used to fight over the name 'Cody Michael'. It's funny what you forget over the years because she has a Mackenzie, Mike, and Hayden, and I have an Abbey!
Reply:not till i got married and we were trying to have a baby. the list will change when your husband/boyfriend get a vote too.
Reply:Since I was young about 12
Reply:i have been thinking up baby names since at least 13... but i just recently got married, so now i've been rethinking it about much more.





i'm not planning to have kids for a good 5 years (hopefully).
Reply:I had my daughter's name picked out when I was 12. My mom had my name picked out when she was 12. I am pregnant again and am lost this time because I don't like any names as much as the one I picked out twenty years ago.
