In honor of my dear dad, our Baby Name of the Day is Clark.
For those of you in the US, I hope you’re having a lovely, fireworks-filled Independence Day weekend.
First up: a quick users’ guide note: when I write a post, I try to bold any given name the first time I use it. If the name is a (blue) hyperlink, then I’ve written about the name before – and one quick click will take you to that post. I also try to link movies and television shows to the Internet Movie Database.
On to the news:
I wrote about the first generation of eclectic Hollywood baby names for Nameberry last week. In more recent celebrity news:
Tomorrow’s post for Nameberry is the first in another two-parter, and it features one of my favorite names for a boy: Clark.
That’s all for this week. As always, thanks for reading and have a great week!
She skyrocketed from obscurity to the #1 spot in the US.
Thanks to Kelly for this suggestion. With a happy birthday to Nameberry co-founder Linda Rosenkrantz, our baby name of the day is Linda.
Smoosh the Biblical Gabriel with the nouveau Jalen, add a certain retro vibe and what do you get?
Thanks to Emily for suggesting Galen as our Baby Name of the Day.
There’s something tremendously upbeat about this Irish surname.
Thanks to Kelly for suggesting our Baby Name of the Day: Sullivan.
It’s one of the many names attached to big guy in the red suit.
Thanks to Molly for suggesting our Baby Name of the Day: the seasonal Claus.
Not every nineteenth century name has made a comeback.
Thanks to Photoquilty for suggesting the undiscovered Cornelia as our Baby Name of the Day.
She’s an exotic goddess name, and since the 1990s, she’s been worn by a growing number of baby girls in the US, too.
Thanks to Meredith for suggesting Isis as our Baby Name of the Day.
Even before the pregnancy test came back positive, I had a strong sense that our second child was a girl.
Intuition didn’t stop me from discussing boys’ names with Arthur. So much that he finally insisted that we wait until the ultrasound, at which point it was moot. Claire Caroline Wren – Clio – was on her way.
Our firstborn is Alexander Arthur, after my father-in-law Alexander, my grandfather Arthur and, of course, Arthur. There just wasn’t a clear choice for a second boys’ name. Plus, I always feel like we flubbed his nickname – though he wears Aly fine. Our list for a second daughter is well thought out, but a boy?
We would have figured something out. I think.
Looking for a name for a red-headed philosopher with a Hollywood vibe?
Thanks to JNE for suggesting Russell as Baby Name of the Day.
