It’s been a bumper week for starbabies wearing pink – Satyana, Petal Blossom Rainbow and Blakesley Grace.

• I triple checked to make sure this wasn’t an April Fool’s Day hoax – but I still don’t want to believe it!  Babble’s Strollerderby is reporting that a Mexican couple named their newborn daughter Krisis Mundial.  I suppose if Chinese parents can call their kids Aoyun, this one isn’t so shocking.  But can you imagine wearing the name World Crisis when you hit the teenage years?  Yikes!
• While I was looking for stories about children named Wynn, I stumbled across a Toronto Star column called “What’s Your Name?”  You can find it on the home page of ParentCentral.ca.  It’s been around for a while, and you follow the links to more than forty stories.  This morning, articles on the page today included a boy named Erik Andrew and a girl called Georgian Lima.  No, that’s not a typo!  She’s named after Georgian Bay;
• I know a pair of sisters called Hazel and Ivy – with the eyes to match – but did you know that soap opera actor Peter Reckell named his daughter Loden?  Somehow I don’t think it is the next Scarlet;
• Thanks to Photoqulity for tipping me off that Party of Five alum Scott Wolf is a new father.  His son, Jackson Kayse, arrived on March 22.  The first name is unremarkable, but I can’t help but scratch my head at Kayse.  Is it pronounced Case?  Or Casey?  And why?  Random spellings in the middle spot aren’t really a hassle, but I do wonder;
• On a similar note, Paul Walker of The Fast and the Furious franchise has a daughter named Meadow Rain.  I love Meadow’s hippie-chic vibe, but when paired with Rain, it sounds like a Yankee Candle fragrance.  I’m taking a page from Lola’s book and mentally renaming her Meadow Jane;
• Over at Nameberry, Pam wrote a great article on the Four-Generation Rule when it comes to baby naming.  I like it better than the “100 year rule” I’ve heard referenced.  It makes it personal – because often our grandparents’ names seem hopelessly old-fashioned, while someone else’s grandparents’ names epitomize cool;
• Which brings me to the small screen.  PBS is airing the BBC’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Little Dorrit.  Anyone think Amy will defy the Four-Generation Rule and make a comeback sooner rather than later?

I’m off to assemble Easter baskets – I volunteered to coordinate our neighborhood’s Easter Egg hunt for next Saturday.  Here’s hoping I struck the right balance between tooth-decay-inducing candy and parent-pleasing-organic-alternatives.
