The only odd thing in this situation is that I have gone shopping several times since deciding to try for #4 and not once so much as browsed at baby clothes or
toys. It didn't even appeal to me to look. Names? OMG I have got names on the brain! I cannot stop it either, I fear I need medication or electric shock therapy.I gave all my baby name books away a few years ago so every night as I am falling asleep I have 50000 names running through my brain. I either:
1. Can't stand the name
2. Like the name but not for my kid
3. Have a friend with a child with that name.
My current quandary is once my husband and I decide on a name and I happen to have an online friend with a child of said name... Courtesy dictates I ask her permission, no? Does courtesy dictate she must give me permission? I think it should. (crosses fingers)
We have pretty much set our minds to a particular name if the baby that has yet to be conceived turns out to be of the XY gender. I just so happen to have a dear, sweet, charming, beautiful as well as funny, smart and giving friend with a child with that very name! Should I get pregnant, I'm sure she wouldn't mind our using it. ;o)

LMAO! I do the same thing.....I haven't dared to bring up names to Ray yet, until we get a bit farther along and I know things are going well. (I have a start of a list though, recycled from being pg with Parker).
OK... is it bad that I sat here for 5 minutes trying to remember if "XY" is a boy or a girl? LOL!
Anyway, if you HAPPEN to have a girl, I give you my complete permission to use the girls' names. Um, not that you would (or would want to), but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
Oh, and Allison is a FABULOUS name for a baby girl. And you DO have two friends named that, so it would be a wonderful tribute... ;)
It is never to early to pick names! It is all part of the fun. I am sure none of your friends would mind you using the same name as their child. I think it is flattering when someone else has the same name as my kids, they obviously like it:-)
I still think of names for my kids and I ain't havin' any more! LOL!
I think Billy B------er is a fabulous name and you should use it =)
I still think of baby names and I don't think I will be having another one ever. You can use my kid's name if you so desire, becuase I know you were talking about me ;)!
XY is a boy, right? What's your boy name already?? I'm dying here!
Since Carrie is forcing me, the XY name we like is Braden William. (and gracious as she is, Carrie did say I can use it!) Carrie rocks.
