To want to be pregnant again so I can choose a new baby name

[CruCru]

I keep looking at the Baby Names thread and it's making me want another so that I can legitimately get excited about baby names again. DS is 11 months old and I'm not convinced that we need such a small gap (and that I can cope with another so soon). However I'm already picking out more names for boys and girls. This is a ridiculous reason to want another baby, isn't it?

It doesn't help that three close friends are pregnant again.

Yes

Get a hamster

One of my friends says I've got lots of kids because I'm so indecisive and wanted to use all my favourite names.

Maybe you're looking in baby names because subconsciously you want another baby... Not wanting another baby just because you're looking in baby names

It's a good a reason as any

Can you tell us any of the names?

I don't want any pets, thank you for the suggestion though.

Well, I really like Claudia, Cecilia, Elizabeth, Agnes, Rosalind for girls. For boys, I really like Alexander, Charles, Hugh, Johannes. There are lots of other names I like but we were quite late in our "circle" to have a DC so were used by people close enough that I would think it strange to use them as well. Perhaps you're right, I do want another baby.

Not even an ant farm?

You could use up quite a few names with one of those.

Write a novel! Great way to use up names.

I feel itchy just thinking about ants. So no. But thank you anyway.

Name your shoes?

I keep thinking of baby names even thogh dd is only 7.5mo and we wont be ttc for another 3/4 years.

Lol at 'name your shoes'!!!

Sorry but I wouldn't even name a pair of crocs Agnes

The other names are nice though.

If I named my shoes it would make me sad to chuck them out. I would have a house full of broken heels and nowhere to put anything.

Me too, I've had to ban myself from looking at babynames. I have a whole family planned out - just need an extra ten years and a partner.

I also like Francis and Oscar for boys. And Ingrid and Hannah for girls. Do you really not like Agnes Worra? Neither does my DH, it's such a pity.

Can you give women's shoes boys names?

YABVU.

You chuck your shoes out? at the thought.

Maybe name al of dcs cuddly toys?

I do when they break Gnocchi. And can't be fixed by the cobblers.

Why am I being unreasonable, Kilmuir? I am sure I am but need it explained to me.

No there's nothing to like about Agnes...not in the past, not now and not ever!

Perhaps I'm an Agnephobe?

now you know you are being silly. you can't create a life just because you want to chose a baby name. get a doll or make up a kinky name for your other half.

Perhaps. It could be shortened to Aggie. Do you like that better?

Well I do see your point Kilmuir.

I don't ever want more children. I do, however,want to be 5/6 months pregnant, name a child, and have that first 2 weeks with a tiny scrunched up little baby. Any way I can have both? Fake pregnancy bump maybe?
