My husband and I just found out we are having a boy. Yay! We have a couple names we both like a lot but I'm scared to commit to a name. Seems like a bigger decision than actually having the baby lol. How long did it take you guys to pick and was it hard to agree on a name? Cause I find it odd that we both agree 100% on the same names.
I have a while yet to pick, 4 more months hehe.

The girls were harder to pick then our son. We had 4 sets of grandparents due to divorce and remarriage. Every *grandfather* was named "William" so that was pretty much a given.  Heather was named about a month before her birth and Shannan was named the day after hers.

I spent the whole 9 months debating names with my ex. We settled on a name hours after I gave birth though. I originally just wanted to name her Noelle, but he liked Alina too. I put one and two together and we got Alina Noelle.

Hubby and I had agreed upon names before we were even pregnant <lol>. The only thing I did was add Aage as a second middle name.

A couple days. There was no agreement needed because I claimed the right to name him. (In return I let her make every other decision she wants to make without any arguments.)
It wasn't that extreme, but I picked the names and if she didn't like them I would have probably stuck to my guns on that one. As far as other decisions go I give my input but usually my wife gets her way. She hasn't made any I disagree with enough for me to fight. I pick my battles carefully because as most married men know, winning is still losing.

It took us a while. We debated on a Biblical name or a name from Asheron's Call, the game we met in. We finally decided on Rachel. Originally her middle name was going to be Louise after my grandmother who passed away years ago. But, later we decided to name her after her only living greatgrandmother, Virginia. So, Rachel Virginia stuck.
I'm glad she wasn't a boy. We never did agree on a boy's name.

No matter whether it was a girl or boy, the middle name would be Ray (Rae for a girl) in honor of my husband's favorite uncle. We thought Aime (an old song by Pure Prairie League) went well with Rae for a girl. I don't remember if we ever settled on a boy's name.
