Alyson Hannigan's Pregnancy Cravings and Baby Name Game

Now that she’s in her second trimester, Alyson Hannigan’s cravings are in full swing. Alexis Denisof says he has to supply a steady stream of pickles, but they’ve got to be just the right ones.

“If I bring the wrong ones home, she won’t touch ‘em. It has to be the exact right ones. They’re the sweet, kosher pickles. They can’t be the pepper, garlic, or whatever — it has to be the right one,” he insisted.

Alexis also let slip that Alyson fibbed to us recently – they know the gender of their unborn baby after all!

“We know the gender, but I don’t think I’m allowed to say. Alyson didn’t give a clearance,” says Alexis.

Alyson and Alexis are already thinking baby names, and have devised a pretty clever system. They both make lists, swap the suggestions, then “start eliminating names from each other’s lists” in the hope of eventually compiling a “master list.” A couple of names that haven’t made the cut are Alyson’s suggestion of Bruce, and Alexis’ pick of Dennis!

Alexis shared that his wife is also in nesting mode.

“As soon as she gets a minute off, she wants to go to a baby store and fiddle with the clothes and look at the cribs. It’s been really fun! Slowly we are collecting onesies!”

The couple will welcome their first child in spring.
