There’s no point denying it; the calendar is whizzing by us pretty quickly this year, and it won’t be long before we find ourselves smack-bang in the middle of 2017.
So, if you’re the sort of person who likes to plan ahead, we imagine you’d probably find it useful to know whether or not you’ll be getting PREGNANT this year.
Yup, figured as much.
Well, there’s apparently a way to use your name to figure it out.
Oh yes.
So, if your name is on this list, you are far more likely to fall pregnant in 2017 than anyone else.

That’s a pretty eclectic bunch.
We imagine that, if you’ve spotted your name on that list, you’re curious to know the reasoning behind it.
Well, it’s based on the fact that, in the UK, the average age that a woman gives birth to her first child is around 29.8 years old.
Using this, we then worked out that women who reach this oh-so-magical age in 2017 will have been born between 1987 and 1988.
We then used Google to find out the most popular baby girl names of those years and voila!
Pretty clever, huh?
Share this with anyone you know with these names and tag them when you post on social media.
And, if any of them DO fall pregnant in 2017, be sure to let us know on Facebook or Twitter (@CloserOnline) - we’d love to hear about it!
