Since I was 15 I have jotted down baby names in my diary and as soon as Mike and I became engaged, I started telling him names as a way to fill my baby void. For the first few years he was adament that he would not talk to me about names because we were nowhere near that stage in our lives. Since we have decided to have a baby, we (or I) talk about names all the time since it is the only thing we (or I) can really control. Due to our last name being so Italian, we have had a difficult time finding names that "flow" but we have narrowed it down to a few names we hopefully will be able to use soon. The most difficult thing about this all though has been timing. We have had names picked out for almost 2 years and with every family or friends' babies that are born, names on our list get used and I constantly fear that by the time we have a child, none of the names we love will be left. I think this part is just as frustrating as not having a baby to name so here is my current plea...
Dear God, please continue to bless my friends and family with babies but also bless them with adorable names that are different than the names we want to use for baby Ricci. If that is too much to ask, please bless me with some new names that I will love. Thank you in advance! :)
I feel a little weird sharing our fave names because I am a bit superstitious but I have shared everything else regarding my journey, so here they are! At least names are a fun thing to talk about. If you have any names you want to suggest, I would love to hear them!
Girls

Boys

*Parker

Caleb

The starred names are our current faves. Can't wait until I can finally stop calling this non-existent pregnancy an actual name! I think I have finally officially lost it. Who not only picks names before they are pregnant, but actually shares them? Maybe it's time to have me committed. :)
PS, I have been hearing about the change in astrological signs all week on Facebook and it's been irritating the hell out of me. I really wish that the changing astrological signs was currently my biggest worry in my life. Sorry, I think that's my Clomid talking. Just ignore me.

Mike and Lori used our #1 girl name so I know just how you feel. But at the same time, who's to say you can't still use it? :)
We have had baby names picked out for years and we have shared them with people, so no I don't think you are crazy. By the way I love your top baby girl name, adorable. The girl name we have picked out is Hailey Alexis and our boy name is Jacob Allan.
Hey-everyone picks baby names even if they aren't currently pregnant. You are not crazy! I have about a million names for all of my non existent kids...
You're not crazy. I kept a list in my journal for as long as I can remember. Caleb and Hudson are on our boy list too. We had Isaac as our number one boy name for years and years, but when we really started making a list of names for baby G, it didn't even make the top ten! Who knows what will happen! I do know how you feel, though. Nobody better steal my girl name or I will be ticked!!! :) :)
