Name of the Day: Tavish
We can all list foreign versions of John, and plenty of alternatives for James have come up here, too. But how about the equally classic Thomas?
Thanks to Emmy Jo for suggesting a charmingly Scottish choice for Name of the Day: Tavish.
Name of the Day: Elodie
Take one medieval saint, transport her to Paris and what do you get?
Thanks to Mariuccia and JNE for suggesting today’s Name of the Day: Elodie.
Name of the Day: Craig
He’s more likely to be the father – or even grandfather – than the newborn baby boy, but today’s choice might still work for a little one.
Today’s Name of the Day goes out to Skye, in honor of her husband: Craig.
Sunday Summary: 1/18/09
When I thought about writing a Sunday summary, I worried. Would there really be baby name news every week?
Ha!
Here’s the report for the week of January 18:
Name of the Day: Eleanor
Plenty of names have been worn by royals, but few choices are as clearly associated with a queen.
Thanks to Nessa and JNE for suggesting the Name of the Day: Eleanor.
Name of the Day: Hadrian
He’s a widely admired Roman emperor, but somewhere between antiquity and 2009, he shed his H.
Thanks to Emmy Jo for suggesting the Name of the Day: Hadrian.
Name of the Day: Freya
Who’s the fairest of them all? In Norse mythology, it’s a goddess with an intriguing name that just might wear well on a modern girl.
Thanks to Mariuccia for suggesting our Name of the Day: Freya.
Name of the Day: Niles
On television, he was Frasier Crane’s fastidious brother. And he’s just one letter removed from the white hot Miles.
Thanks to Allison and Cat for suggesting our Name of the Day: Niles.
Name of the Day: Genevieve
If calling your daughter Paris isn’t your thing, why not consider the name of the city’s patron saint?
Thanks to Nessa for suggesting the Name of the Day: Genevieve.
