Since becoming pregnant with her first child – due the end of JulyUgly Betty star Ana Ortiz has gained something unexpected: psychic powers.

"Before I found out I was having a girl I dreamt that I was having a girl," Ortiz, 38, told PEOPLE at the Point Honors gala in New York City Monday. "I even dreamt what her name was, so I guess that name should be her real name."

While Ortiz remained mum on the baby's name – except for joking, "It's going to be Watermelon" – she did say, "We have a short list, but when we see her, hopefully, one of those names will fit. I'm hoping at least for a Latina flavor to it. But we'll see."
