According to The Bachelor couple, who got engaged on Season 22 of the series earlier this year, they are afraid of giving their child a bad name.

"Then they get made fun of for the rest of their life," Lauren, 26, pointed out to Us Weekly.

Arie elaborated, "We're like, 'Man, we got to give [the baby] a non-nerdy name.'"

The couple agree they want their baby's name to roll off the tongue.

"I think we want it to flow," the 37-year-old race car driver explained, "which is hard with my last name, to be honest."

Arie and Lauren announced earlier this week they are expecting their first child together, and they apparently already know whether a baby girl or boy is on the way!

The parents-to-be told Us they will be announcing the sex of the baby around the time of their January 12, 2019 wedding in Maui, Hawaii.

"We have to be careful not to slip!" Arie said.

But they both claim to have previously predicted whether they'll welcome a son or daughter in June 2019.

"We were correct," Arie noted of the gut feeling he shared with his fiancee. "But I think either way, we're so excited. I think we both were not really leaning one way or the other."

Lauren revealed she spent the month of October crippled with nausea and morning sickness.

Because of her pregnancy experience so far, the blonde beauty acknowledged she may want to wait awhile before conceiving Baby No. 2 -- although she and Arie agree they'd like to have more than one kid.

"I just had the most miserable month of my life," Lauren told the magazine. "So I was excited at first to have a bunch of kids back-to-back, but I think we're going to see how the first one goes and then decide after that."

Thankfully, Lauren is feeling better with the Thanksgiving holiday right around the corner.

"Over the past week I've started feeling better," she noted. "It's nice to have my energy back."
