Baby Names
37 weeks pregnant and still no name!
I’m now 37 weeks pregnant with a girl. From the start, we’ve had a few names we really like, but we just can’t make a final choice! We’ve already “settled” on a name a few times. But then either I or my husband starts doubting again. He doesn’t think waiting until she’s born is an option because he’s afraid we won’t both be fully behind it.
The names we’ve considered so far are:
Lieve (I really like this one especially)
Phileine (my husband’s favorite)
Soof (we both like it, but not super)
Saar (it’s in the top 20, so maybe that’s not ideal)
Nora (maybe too popular)
What do you all think?! Tips on how to finally pick a name are also very welcome

Phileine is definitely one of my favorites! It's not very common and sounds so beautiful and soft. I don't really like "Lieve" myself, maybe it's a bit childish, but then again, "Lieve Lieve" is nice. Well, that's just my opinion. The other names are indeed very popular, so personally, I think your partner's favorite is the most beautiful -

I think Nora is such a lovely name. Popular or not, it's about what you find beautiful. -

And Noor?
Or just write all these names on a list and take turns crossing out one name you like the least, until one is left? The name seems like a huge deal now, but once your kid is a few years old, you'll be used to it and hardly think about it anymore! -

Philou, Liv, Madelief were on our list.
I like Nora from your list! -

I think Nora is the cutest from your list! Noor is also nice, as has been said before, I find that really beautiful too! Lieve I also find quite nice, but I wouldn't choose it myself so quickly. I also like Saar! I don't like Soof and Phileine at all. I wouldn't wait with the name until they're born either. Once you've given your baby a name, you'll get used to it. And then you'll definitely find the name more and more lovely! -

I also really like Lieve and Phileine! And Saar, by the way, less so Nora.
And Madelief? Then you have a slightly longer name, just like Phileine, and you can use Lieve as a nickname.
Good luck! -

The first time we had a top name, even before I was pregnant. The second time I couldn't find a name that made me as happy as with the first one. So we ended up choosing the best one from the list. Same with number 3. We had one ultimate favorite that we eventually crossed off because a child close to us had the same name. After that, it felt like we only had 'B choices' left on the list. Still, at some point we just went with it. Once you've made a choice and start saying the name out loud, making a birth announcement, etc., it starts to feel more familiar. I'm now happy with all the names.
