She’s a spin on the classic Katherine, and a popular island destination, too.
Thanks to Laura for suggesting Catalina as our Baby Name of the Day.

Baby Name of the Day: Sophia

She’s a lovely, literary classic riding high atop popularity charts throughout the English-speaking world. But she’s also the product of one big ol’ misunderstanding.
Thanks to Sophie for suggesting Sophia as our Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Ephraim

He’s a Biblical boy who has yet to catch on. With parents embracing Isaac and Elijah, could he be next?
Thanks to Christina for suggesting Ephraim as our Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Bragnae

She’s a literary rarity, seldom heard in real life, but with a certain allure.
Thanks to Katie B for suggesting Bragnae as our Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Casilda

Today’s choice was worn by an obscure eleventh century saint, but would sound right at home on the playground with Isabella and Matilda.
Thanks to Ko for suggesting Casilda as our Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Euphemia

Thanks to Charlotte for suggesting our Baby Name of the Day: Euphemia.
Baby Name of the Day: Mark

He’s ancient, Biblical, literary, and had a great run in the 1960s.
In honor of Charlotte’s husband, our Baby Name of the Day is Mark.
Baby Name of the Day: Jehosaphat

Elijah and Isaiah are Top 100 choices, and they help make other Old Testament names sound wearable. But is this name of a King of Judah too much of a leap?
Thanks to Claire for suggesting Jehosaphat as our Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Edmund

Edwin’s second syllable feels lucky, and Edward has Twilight going for him. How about this Ed- option?
Thanks to Sadie for suggesting Edmund as our Baby Name of the Day.
Baby Name of the Day: Robert

He was a Top Ten pick in the US for over a century, and the #1 name for fifteen years. Today he’s fading, but a young Hollywood star might just bring him back.
Thanks to Heather for suggesting Robert as our Baby Name of the Day.
