Name of the Day: January
Ever since the third installment of American Pie hit the big screen, I’ve been wondering about the moniker worn by one of the actresses.
With the last day of 2008 upon us, today’s Name of the Day is the forward looking January.

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?
Today’s name is in honor of a local birthday boy: George.

Name of the Day: Trevor
There’s something vaguely British about today’s choice, even after he’s spent nearly two decades in the US Top 100.

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: Edward
He’s as classic as they come, but in the US, lags behind other regal monikers like Charles and Henry. We think that might change, though - especially with the recent premier of the big screen version of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight.
Thanks to Katharine for suggesting our Name of the Day: Edward.

Name of the Day: Ewan
Odds are you know a handful of men named John. Ditto Evan and Ian. We even know a pair of brothers called Sean and Jack. But how about this Scottish variant?
Thanks to Katharine for suggesting our Name of the Day: Ewan.
