In the name of ignoring my life right now, I think I'm going to spend the next few days obsessively checking for new baby updates, just because I can and because it's more fun than sulking about everything. Hurrah for excellent timing Baby Fed! Poor Mirka though; she already looked horribly uncomfortable at Wimbledon and it's been weeks. Makes me glad I'm sticking with pets instead of kids.

As much as it's going to be Baby Fed forever and ever (and subsequent ones shall be Baby Fed the Second, Baby Fed the Third etc.), for what it's worth my money's on a girl and if the rumour of Robin wasn't true (hey it works for girl or boy) I'd guess maybe... Emilie? As much as a Swiss baby name site just cracked me up by giving 'Federica' as an actual Swiss name I highly doubt they'd name it Federica Federer. Um. At least I hope not.

(If they do I may have to disown Roger and become a die-hard Mardy fan because that's just bad.)

There're some really pretty Swiss names. Apparently Chiara is Swiss? I thought it was Irish. Hm. Atalie is pretty, though it kind of sounds like you're saying Natalie wrong. Claudia. Eva. Liana just made me think of Top Gear and now I'm laughing again. Maria or any of the derivatives would be cause to burst into The Sound of Music songs every time the TV shows him, Mirka or The Spawn. I'm not ruling out Martina either. If it is a boy and Robin was just a rumour, they should call him Remy instead and I can refer to it as Gambit. Or Xavier, because that name never gets old!

(I'm glad I don't want kids; one day I'd have to explain to them why they had such a silly name and showing someone a cartoon/comic book/film and going "LOOK ISN'T THIS CHARACTER AWESOME?' will probably go down badly. Unless I'd brought them up properly and they were a geek, of course.)



edit: Just before I go to bed like I should've done an hour ago, I'd just like to point out that Wikipedia SOURCE OF ALL INTERWEB KNOWLEDGE says the most popular baby boy name among German speakers is: TIM (you might have to scroll down a bit but it's there) followed by NOAH (oh the Wimbledon rain/flood jokes to be had with that!) Girl's name; first is Lena followed by Sara. Not that I think Roger will go with popular opinion but I would loooooove him to name a boy Tim because the sheer batshit of the British press would be hilarious. And also it'd be a lot more random (therefore funnier) than Rafael or even Andy.

And on that note since no more baby news seems to be forthcoming, I'm off to bed. Here's to me being less of a miserable sod tomorrow (Baby Fed would help, Mirka. You know, you probably... actually you probably don't have anything else on your mind right now. But just a suggestion anyway!)
