Bean Baby

Long before we were serious about having children, the Mister and I spent time listing "great" names for our non-existent children (all twelve of them). By "great" I mean names that made us giggle, whether or not we would actually inflict them on a human child. We've had a series of alcohol names (Ouzo, Galiano, Schnapps and little baby Johnny Red Label), of mixed ethnic names (Jesus Goldstein, Valentino O'Dell, Katerina Suarez, Taguchi Morningstar, Bubba Li, Fitzwilliam Kim) and Old Testament names (Gad and Zilpeh currently, although Joash and several other kings have been considered). Of course, we have the actual names we call our fetus: Mervivian Phogg and Alloicious* (or Alowicious or Allouicious**) and it really is fortunate that Mr. Splashy Pants arrived when she did, otherwise the Mister would call the growing alien monkey that. We have names of creatures, names from literature, horrible adjectives and nouns, names of places, but, I realized yesterday, we don't have any bean names for our baby.
Once in my life I had a friend who was serious about having eight children and serious about naming them after ericaceous plants (plants in the heath/rhododendron family). I had a great time picking out names for her: Heath, Heather, Eric, Erica, Laurel, Kalmia, Pieris, Azalea, and Huckleberry, among others. If Fabaceae (the legumes) is one of the largest plant families (and it is) and one of my favorites, surely I can think of great bean names for my child.
I'm at a total loss, however. None of the common names strikes me as suitable: Mimosa and Indigo might be the closest. I'm more likely to use "little locoweed" than "sweet pea" as a term of endearment. Among the scientific names Glycine max sounds like an interesting character, but not a child. Robinia? Astragalus? Medicago? Psoralea? Pediomelum? Baptisia? Lens? Phaeseolus? Oxytropis? Trifolium? I think not. Any suggestions?

*Mervivian when we feel girlish, Alloicious when we feel boyish. No, we do not know the gender or our child and are not planning on finding out. The only reason I particularly want to know is because "it" is so dehumanizing in English. Still I find the question, "When will you find out what it is?" somewhat offensive, as if the only thing this child has going for it is a penis or lack thereof. Usually I answer that we're pretty sure it is a human, although we certainly haven't ruled out alien monkey based on ultrasound. I find the "What do you want?" question to be very distasteful, and I'm shocked at the women who will answer it in front of their fetus. I don't think it takes having had a miscarriage to realize that any child is miraculous, whether or not childbirth happened 10 billion times or so in the last century. "Mervivian Alloicious, we want you to be a happy healthy person (or alien monkey)."

**Hector Alloicious is a family name (my parents' pet turtle) so Mom and Dad should be able to shed some light onto the proper spelling.
