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, [...]

Please tell me that I’m not the only person who watched My Fake Fiance, the first pairing of Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence? It was raining, the baby was fussy … wait, never mind. Someone else must’ve tuned in – enough of us for ABC Family to greenlight a new original series called Melissa [...]

First, Happy Birthday to me. Well, actually, my birthday is tomorrow. And so I’ll be doing something I haven’t done since shortly after I started writing Name of the Day posts in May 2008 – I’m choosing the names. All week. And I’m starting with my discarded given name tomorrow. But enough about that. The [...]

Just when you think every name has been imagined, every option exhausted, pop culture surprises us. First, Cecily von Ziegesar’s novel Cum Laude tackles the lives of privileged college students (as opposed to the privileged high school students in her Gossip Girl franchise.) One of the main characters is a girl called Shipley, and a [...]

Yesterday marked the first in a series of Reader Baby Name Stories. Thanks to Sara for kicking things off! There are plenty more tales of compromise, certainty, great debate and more headed our way – at least through summer’s end. Once again this week, baby naming made waves in the mainstream media. The New York [...]

Amy Adams has delivered a daughter, named Aviana Olea. I’ve come across Aviana on name forums from time to time, along with other Ava spin-offs like Avalyn. Aviana was unranked in the US Top 1000 as of 2009. Here’s guessing she’ll chart in 2010. No clue about Olea – any thoughts? Best wishes to the [...]

Sunday Summary: 5/9/10

I heard Ezra and Sophie at Ladybird Bakery in Park Slope – near sister #2′s place – the morning before, but mostly the [...]
