We have not been matched yet but for me picking out a name will be very important and I want to have the full input of the emom.
I plan to ask her if she has an important name to consider. If not, I hope she will choose the name from a few we have considered and hope to incorporate her name somehow, maybe as a middle name.
To me, it is important to honor her in some way and I think it will be especially important to the child someday.

I did choose to name my son after he was born. He had the name his father and I called him when I pregnant, and my father's name as his middle name. It was, as a pp said, very important for me to know that if he ever looked, he would know that we cared enough to name him. I keep a journal for him, just in case he ever comes looking for me, and just this morning, I explained the significance of the name.

There was a name that was sticking with me the whole time I was pregnant. I put that name on my baby's originial birth certificate, even though I had asked what they were planning to name him (it was different than what I chose). When I write letters that I actually send, I call him by his new name. When I write things to him that I plan to share when he is an adult, I call him by my name for him. I like their name for him, but I felt like I wanted to call him something else when I was in the hospital with him, when I was the only mother he knew. I don't know if that makes sense, but it does to me.
