Note that you might want to keep your choices secret. My wife was all for naming our third 'Eliza' until our mothers heard of our choice (it was for Eliza Dolittle). This threw a wrench into matters as by the time the baby arrived we had no acceptable name - my second choice again was to usurp the dog's name.

Two days after her birth I finally said "whatever" and our daughter was named by committee.

P.S. Note that two children is not like 2X the work; it's more like 1.5X as you already are parents and have been through the first cold, first earache, first bleeding wound, etc. You already have functioned for days without sleep and so have learned basic survival skills. And, with two, you still can apply man-to-man coverage. With three, we've had to move to a zone defensive strategy ("I'll cover the two in the bathroom while you get the one down off of the table...").
