Name of the Day: Philip
He’s regal, he’s classic and yet the 21st century has not been kind to him.

Name of the Day: Stuart
We’d love to call him a classic primed for revival, but it turns out that this one might be edging towards obscurity.

Name of the Day: George
He’s a curious monkey, a mad king and a nursery rhyme, plus we’re all carrying him around in our wallets. But how does this choice wear on a real child?

Name of the Day: Frederick
Today’s choice is either a neglected classic begging for revival or a hopelessly stodgy moniker best left in the past.

Name of the Day: Ivan
There’s no name more classic than John. But he’s also become a bit anonymous - even bland. For an exotic twist on this long-time staple, why not consider the Slavic version?
Thanks for Lola for suggesting our Name of the Day: Ivan.

Name of the Day: Alfred
Today’s choice has been worn by a poet and a king, a playboy and a fool. Is this a lost classic poised for revival, or one best left in mothballs?
Thanks to Lyndsay for suggesting our Name of the Day: Alfred.

Name of the Day: Hester
Happy Thanksgiving! Today’s choice is one of our personal favorites, a variant of a classic name that crackles with a sense of Puritan drama.
Our Name of the Day is the literary, scarlet-tinged Hester.

Name of the Day: Titus
Modern parents have stepped into the wayback machine to revive Henry and Oliver. But some have gone farther, all the way back to ancient times. Today’s choice comes to us from that collection, but brings with him a surprisingly modern sound.
Thanks to Bek for suggesting our Name of the Day: Titus.
