Now that I’m pregnant, I have a short list of names I’d actually consider for my little one. But I’ve been a name lover since age 12 and my list of loved names is a lot longer than the ten on a short list. When I see a name I like, I write it down in a journal I’ve had forever. Maybe I would use that name eventually or maybe I’ll hate that name in a week, but I always write it down if I like it right now.
So far in my pregnancy I haven’t had many symptoms but I [name]DO[/name] feel the need to organize EVERYTHING! I guess this included my name list because I just alphabetized and counted all of the names I’ve collected since I was about 18 or 19 and it came to 278!
Does anyone else keep a long-loved name list? And if you’ve got a neurotic pregnancy brain like I do (or if you’re just bored), count them and let me know how many names you have! Is your list short for a name lover or do you cling to names you know you’ll never use?
[name]How[/name] many names are on YOUR list?
