We've narrowed our names down to 1 boy/1 girl name (various spellings on the girl name though).
Do you guys usually tell people who ask or just keep it in until they're born? I'm worried (but not really worried) that people are going to criticize whatever we say for names either openly or behind our backs even though they're fairly average.

I punch people in their whore mouths if they ask.
Nah, we never told people what the planned names were. We did share what the gender was to be, though.

Well first off fuck anyone elses opinions on the names you're choosing. Unless they're trendy/stripper names then shame on you. 
Everyone that we've told we're having a boy knows the name also. We really don't care what they think of the name. We chose Nolan Marc for our son.
Only 10 weeks to go! Time is starting to fly.

Having a newborn is kind of like having an exotic pet. They eat, sleep, and poop. You'll be a master of taking care of that child the moment it arrives, provided you're not dumb, which it seems like you're not. It's a good way to ease into parenting. It's almost like evolution intended for this to be the case.

Just make sure the name isn't any variation of Jaden/Braden/Aiden(Jayden, Brayden, Ayden). When our kid was born 2 years ago, there were about a dozen babies in our wing of the maternity ward, and out of those 12, we had a Brayden, an Aiden, and an Aiyden) Shit's trendy as hell at the moment.
And please, do NOT name your kid something weird from a TV show or movie. One of my best friends has a 2 year old daughter named Khaleesi. She's in for a future life of many taunts and snickers over that one. Supposedly Sansa and Arya(Aria are quickly rising in popularity for girls names too.

Yeah originally my wife wanted to name a daughter arya (our dog is nymeria), but its trending too hard right now. Its a cool name If its unique, but not if so many others now have it too. Plus we planned that based off the books, the show sort of shot that idea away anyways.
Wife also wanted brayden and Aidan but I told her no on those. As a man I felt uncomfortable using such shitty names.
We went with classics: Nathan and kaylie (spelling not sure of). Hopefully they aren't too bad. I have a hard time with names anyways.. It's like, oh shit I'm choosing a name you need to use for the rest of your life.

Since we went through 4 years of infertility treatment we were pretty much under a microscope by the family with every little detail leading up to our pregnancy, there weren't any secrets what-so-ever. I wasn't interested in keeping the gender a secret so we thought the name would be the one thing that we could keep as a surprise till the baby was born. I wanted to keep it a secret more than my wife did, but she agreed to it. Then I fucked up and told my parents about how I was having dreams about (insert baby's name here). Bummer.
So much this. I cannot believe how many versions of Aiden are running around right now. Shit has been going on for over a decade now.
My girlfriend is getting absolutely crushed by morning sickness (AKA All-day sickness). She can't keep anything down. We've tried ginger tea, ginger ale, saltines, chicken noodle soup, cous cous, bagels... nothing works. It's going on two weeks now and she's probably managed to digest the equivalent of a light lunch. Sucks giant ass.

Happened in only the first trimester for us, and nothing worked, including all the things you mentioned. Then she tried these, and these were a godsend. Perhaps your girlfriend might find them useful, too.

Thank you -- I'll try those out. I have a Trader Joe's across the street from my apartment and apparently they sell that exact brand.

Haha don't worry I don't plan on a weekly countdown or anything. Just realize how damn close we're getting.
The #1 rule I gave my wife for names was no trendy shit or dumb stripper names.
Aiden was off the table because her sister named her son Aiden. And she is a trendy cunt who steals pills from work. So her name choice didn't surprise me. If she had a girl it'd definitely have a stripper name.

Yeah I mean, I'm not nervous about taking care of a child - just nervous in general that everything is about to get a lot more real.
I worry about things like our super hyper dog reacting positively to the baby. It already "knows", you can tell by the way it acts around my wife. I just hope it can deal with a tiny human being that can't be constantly licked in the face or barked at and shit. There are other things I worry about too, but probably just the usual first time jitters.
The nursery is all setup, just a few things left to buy like the stroller and car seat. Now we are in the waiting mode.

Good ol' cannibalistic ginger chews. My wife dissolves them into hot water to make pseudo sweet ginger tea when she's feeling nauseous.

Tristan is a gender specific name. I've never met a woman named Tristan. Only ever known one dude named Tristan, but still. That was almost my name.
I've known both men and women named Peyton, so yeah. But it's actually a nice name I think. I mean not for my family, but I've heard some super dumb ones.
Like I heard recently that some dumdum named their daughter Khalessi.
wtf.
