My week at the beach was spent listening for names (well, there was ice cream and sand and a giant waterslide called the Hippo) but I didn’t hear much.  There was a Veronica nicknamed Vera, but mostly it was the pleasant Top 100 assortment of Ethan, Dylan, Emma, Riley, Noah, Chloe, Caleb, Jackson, Zachary, Ellie, [...]


Can the end of summer really be so near?  It feels like just yesterday, Washington DC was digging out of the February snowstorms.

She and BFF Michele went to their high school more than a dozen years ago.  Today you might just find her on the playground. The name I have in reserve for a (no-I’m-not-pregnant) second daughter is today’s Baby Name of the Day: Romy. Share this: Email StumbleUpon Digg Reddit Print Facebook Press This
