Here's a pregnancy announcement even Taylor Swift can get on board with! The Baker family of Idaho has shared the news that they're expecting a third child with a parody you'll be singing all weekend long. Their song, set to the tune of Taylor's chart-topper "Blank Space," chronicles the shock of an unexpected pregnancy and the difficult process of trying to choose a name for their future little girl or boy.

"Got a long list of my favorites, you'll think that they're insane," Kimmy Baker sings. "Cuz we're having another baby, so let's pick a name."

While we've admittedly watched Taylor sport crazy eyes and destroy her ex-lover's car with a golf club over a hundred times in the original music video, it's refreshing to see a much happier and cheerful approach to the tune.

Watch the video above and get your Taylor fix for the day, then head below for some baby name ideas we rounded up for the Baker family - all inspired by T. Swift herself.

Becky -- lest we all forget the "No, It's Becky" Tumblr post that stole the Internet last year.

Olivia -- what girl wouldn't want to be named after bad-ass Olivia Benson from "Law and Order: SVU" and one of Taylor Swift's cats?!

Meredith -- the name of Taylor's other kitty and the lead character of Grey's Anatomy. We're sold.

Stephen -- Taylor swooned over a boy with the face of an angel in her hit "Hey Stephen," so your kid would surely grow up to be a handsome fella.

Austin -- if this name is good enough for Taylor Swift's brother, it's good enough for us.

James -- after all, she's named after the American country/folk icon James Taylor herself!

Congratulations, Baker family!
