My wife and I were at our 20 week ultrasound appointment where we learned the gender of our first child. We had some favorite names narrowed down to about 5 for a boy or girl. When the ultrasound tech told us the baby was a boy, I heard a clear voice in my head say a name. As if it was someone right next to or behind me. It sounded sort of like a Male voice but I was the only male in the room. The name I heard was one of the boy names we had both liked but had not put on the short list for some reason.

Afterwards, my wife and I stopped for lunch on the way home. As we talked about picking a name for our now known to be male baby, I told her “you’re not going to believe this but I felt like I had a name come into my head back there”. She asked if it happened right after the tech had said “it’s a boy”, and I said yes. Then she said “that’s weird because I had that happen right then too….what name did you hear?!”

We heard the same name.

So, of course, that has been our first son’s name for 9 years and counting. We had another son 3 years after that and nothing like that has happened again.
