We’ve been pretty much decided about baby names for months and months (and, no, I’m not sharing just yet), but today, for the second time this pregnancy, I saw a baby announcement in the local newspaper with our girl name. Gah! Today’s baby, thankfully, lives far, far to the south of us and the picture was in the paper only because her mother is originally from here, but still, it’s almost enough to make me switch to our second choice. I can’t explain why it matters so much to me, but I really prefer for my kids to be the only ones around with their names (while still giving them names that are actually names<\/i>, you know — I’m a stickler about that, too). In this case, it’s not so much that I worry about two other babies having the same name as my baby, but that I fear a new trend is in the making and ten years from now my fill-in-the-blank<\/i> will be lost in a sea of other fill-in-the-blank<\/i>s.
