no we're not pregnant

but that doesn't stop us from looking at names. This is an awesome graph of the popularity of names over the past 130 years or so:

you can also check names on the social security website. There you can check the popularity of a specific name, or see which names were popular in whatever year, or what names are popular in specific states, etc. etc. etc. I'd say it's even cooler than your link. ;)

However, I can already tell you all the truly cool names, because we've discussed them all... ;)

The best way to get names is to go do a sealing session. We always come up with some really fun ones! Jared and I had all our names picked out before we got pregnant, but the funny thing is that we haven't used any from our original list. However, I usually do know the baby's name at about the same time I find out I'm pregnant.
