MODERATORS
We used this app called Codo which is a cooperative task list app.
We added all the names we could think of, all the names suggested (dumb or not), everything.
We would take time and sift through the list and check off the names we didn't want to go with.
Near the end, we were down to 10 names. I started referring to the baby by the names listed and we would further trim the name list based on that. Turns out some names sound great on paper but when spoken, are not the same.
Final days led to the final three and we just had to choose from there.
