Actually, we had a MUCH easier time naming our son once we found out he was a boy. Part of the problem was that both of our grandmothers had passed away within a couple months of each other, and right before we found out we were pregnant. There was definitely some tension over which grandmother we wanted to honor, and we'd already decided we wanted to continue my family's matrilineal tradition of using my and my mother's middle name. But a boy was easy--we named him Samuel Jacob--Samuel for my husband's grandfather and also my grandfather  and Jacob after my mother.  I think when we have another baby we'd still find it easier to name a boy than a girl.
