There will be no Name of the Day post today, but if you’re in need of a quick name fix, check out these links:

• Elisabeth of You Can’t Call It “It” has her Christmas classic post Beyond Nicholas and Noel back again at Nameberry;
• There’s also Lil’ Sugar’s list of 12 Holiday Inspired Baby Names, from the classic Christopher to the novel Neve;
• Past holiday-appropriate Names of the Day here include Ivy, Clara, Balthasar, Jasper, Eve, Juniper and Lucian.  Some of those are a stretch, but it beats naming your kid Rudolph.

Lastly, if you’re looking for a holiday surprise for your child, you can schedule a personalized call from Santa, Sammy the Snowman or Tony Stewart. I’m not sure how Mr. Stewart fits into the holidays, but hey.

While you’re signing up for the call, scroll through the list of names that you can choose for the greeting.  I expected it to be built based on the Top 100 names of the 1990s and 2000s.  For the most part, that was true.  But you could also send a personalized greeting to Gladys or Sylvan.  Any one care to hazard a guess as to how they chose the names?

And with that little mystery, I’m signing off for the holiday.  Merry Christmas to all!
