You might not recognize Lady Gaga or Katy Perry, and you’re forgiven if you can’t tell the difference between Coldplay and Franz Ferdinand. But very few of us don’t instantly know a Beatles song. Plenty of the titles are pleasing appellations, and even more names are mentioned in their lyrics.

It’s a classic cocktail and a medieval appellation. Would it be a possibility today?
Thanks to Findley for suggesting Pimm as our Baby Name of the Day.
A Boy Named Sue, or Baby Naming Seven Years Later
If you’ve been reading for a while, you might know that I refer to my firstborn as Aly, short for Alexander. He’s named after his grandfather, a choice that I’ve never regretted, even if it wasn’t necessarily what I’d have chosen on my own.
