We told no one at all (except my doctor) that I was pregnant until I hit the second trimester. We didn't choose names until I was pregnant. The girl name was easy to choose, for some reason we had trouble with the boy one. We did not find out if we were having a boy or girl. For some reason, we both felt we were having a girl. Luckily, we went ahead and chose a boy's name because we have a son. A wonderful son. We did not tell anyone the names ahead of time. To this day, no one knows what the girl name was.<BR/><BR/>Hubby's family tends to recycle names. There are 4 people within the extended family with his name. Repeats of a couple other names, including mine. My namesake was born while hubby and I were dating. According to my sister-in-law, she already had the name picked out and "Didn't know if I was a keeper." Apparently hubby had realized that I was a keeper, because we were on the verge of moving in together at that time.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we chose unique-to-the-family names, but not uncommon names, by any means. First thing my mother in law said after our son was born and hubby told her the name - "Is that a family name?" Hubby's response "It is now."<BR/><BR/>Yikes.
