Ok day before my c section im thinking we should i have a back up if she doesnt look like we want to call her? Ive got an image of Tabitha in my head but totally unsure if we should have a back up! Help. Nothing comes close. Theres a few i quite like but not entirely sure

I had this in the quiet lull before my elcs!! I asked dh whilst lo was being pulled out if he looked like a little bumpie. DH us very honest and our first name was a winner. We did have a back up but he wouldn't have suited it!!

I am sure it's just nerves!

We couldn't agree on a name before dd arrived so had a list... His 2 favourites, my 2 favourites and 10 'they're quite nice' names. When she arrived she didn't look like any of our favourites. There was only one name on the long list that suited her. It was just her name. So Madeleine it is!

Take your time when deciding if baby looks like a name, there's no rush.

And good luck!

Well, have you had her? Is she Tabitha? Flowers?

Maybe I'm the only one who has never really understood the whole 'what if s/he doesn't look like the name we've chosen for her/him?'
IMO a child will grow into the name you give them
You should go with Tabitha it's lovely

Announce baby with weight, date, time but name undecided. Then refuse to name her till she's 6 weeks.
