Hi Teresa, Just wanted to share my experience with you. My first son's name was chosen prior to birth. My second son was named four days after his birth. I had a name picked out for a boy, but then a relative named her son the same name. I wanted something different. Then, just this past Novemeber I gave birth to my third son. I had a name for a boy that my husband did not like a lot. Well, after the birth my midwife asked what his name would be and my husband said the name I had chosen. I was completely shocked! Well, it still took us about four days to figure out a middle name. Needless to say, we always end up mailing the birth certificate paperwork back to the hospital. That drove the hospital nuts. They called us for both children that we had not named yet looking for the paperwork. Good luck! Anne
