For those of you who don't have children yet, how are you planning on picking out a name?
All feedback and comments are welcome

I LOVE the name Whitman nn Whit and have for a long time...its my favorite boy name. Lark Alfred is my g-pa and the middle name honors him.
Ann is my middle name so it kind of honors me, but I'm named after my grandmother who died before I was born so it honors her as well. I have always liked my middle name but for a first name I prefer Anna, which I LOVE, it is simple, classic, and beautiful and I could so see my self having a little girl named Anna.
I have other names that I like as well but these are the two I know I would use.

It was the third child that was harder. I have always had a decent sized list of names that I really liked and it was so hard to pick one that would work. When I got pregnant I took the top 5 or 6 that both my husband and I loved and got some advice here for middle names. It eventually got down to two combos and I let my husband pick the final one and now I couldn't imagine any other name for her even though she's not born yet. It just fits and both my husband and I love it.

By the way, Katie, I love the nn Whit for a little boy. I was think of the name Whitley or Whitman, but I don't know if they are my style.

I know it's going to be so hard for me to choose a name, especially for a girl. For boys, the only combo I really love is Aiden James. I don't know what I would do when/if I had another boy.
For girls, I would probably have a hard time choosing a name, mostly because I don't know if I will have another girl, nothing is certain, so I have to choose wisely.

Well.. with three kids it takes some creative stimulation.
My great grandfather was a freemason, and Acacia in their organization represents purity and endurance. And then I just really liked the name.
For Eden, my favorite book since I've grown up has been East of Eden and also my name is from East of Eden (Adam Trask except my last name is Pearce). And Eden also means 'paradise'.
Then for Dawson, I've never actually watched the show Dawson's Creek but I've just loved names that end with 'n'

My mom really liked the name Dawson when she was pregnant with my little brother, and she never watched the show either! She didn't use it though.
