If you named your baby after your pregnancy craving…

What would his or her name be? I read this thread in my babycenter birth club and I just about peed my pants laughing so hard. I tended toward sweet indulgences each time and I had no idea that Taco Bell was such a popular craving food.

My son Sawyer would have to be called Cereal because Cracklin’ Oat Bran is too long (though it goes better with our last name).

My son Milo would have to be Watermelon. Although, at various times, they could have all been named watermelon.

My son Holden would probably have been named Guinness for the unlikely beer preference that started with him. Heck, I didn’t even like the stuff before I was pregnant (so much so that I drank lemonade rather than free beer on my Guinness Factory tour in Dublin). Another possibility is Pumpkin Pie.

So tell me, mamas, what would your baby have been named if after your pregnancy cravings? Cheetos? Milkshake?

Baby 5.0 would be named Lemonade, or Salt.

Daughter #2 would be Biscuits and Gravy ;)

My little guy would have been Pineapple Strawberry. I ate so much of these two I joked he’d come out fruit scented

I would have to admit that my son would be called Taco Bell, to be more specific-tostada. I don’t really eat a lot of Taco Bell, but man, when I was pregnant, I wanted it everyday!

My first girl would be clementine, which we actually considered. But the twins would either be Hagen and Daz, or velveta and ramen. That wouldn’t be so cute. We thought jokingly about naming them after what we would no longer have: cash and descanza (Spanish for rest).

Reuben (like the sandwich)

Fearful of the deli-meat ban, I only indulged it once – but made do with my own turkey, sauerkraut, & swiss when I was preggo. Weirdest craving ever – sauerkraut.

Mustard. Most definitely. I ate it on almost anything. Especially on eggs for some reason. And now it just doesn’t taste as good
