New grandchild in 2013?

I know there are a few of us in happy anticipation of a new grandchild this year. My daughter's baby is due in February and she's chosen NOT to know the gender; although names for either have been chosen and I do like them both very much. I am very excited at the prospect of being present at the birth, as I was with daughter's first baby - and happily my lovely son in law is glad to share the experience.
Who else is an expectant gran/grandfather?

That happened with my daughter. She was fixed on her favourite names, then a close friend pinched one for her baby at the last minute. We were all very happy with the names she settled on, though, and so was she.

Just heard from daughter that a last minute change of baby's name may be imminent. Son is most dischuffed - having never discussed babies names with his sister she is now considering the exact same names for a boy that son and his wife have chosen. (Although the need for said names is somewhere in the distant future.)
With all the names available what are the chances of that I wonder?
