Happy Father’s Day! In a mash-up of dad-centric stories/baby name news, I bring you:
MSNBC’s story on the pluses and perils of being a Junior. The predictable story? There are good and bad things to sharing your name with Pop. The interesting takeaway? The percentage of juniors has been dropping for at least forty years or [...]

Welcome Helena Grace
I’ll admit, I’ve been waiting for Gossip Girl’s Kelly Rutherford to dazzle us with an exotic choice. Her firstborn is called Hermès Gustaf Daniel, after all.
But the actress opted for the surprisingly elegant – and comparatively spare – Helena Grace.
It’s hard to argue with her choice – and I wonder if matching her kids’ initials [...]

Sunday Summary: 6/7/2009
The big news this week was, of course, the new addition to Kimora Lee Simmons’ family, her son with actor Djimon Hounsou, Kenzo Lee. The self-proclaimed model-mogul-mom also has two daughters/reality starlets, Ming Lee and Aoki Lee.
In other starbaby news:
Comedian Gilbert Gottfried and welcomed son Max Aaron, a brother to Lily Aster. Max is clearly [...]

Hurricane Names
It’s not really baby naming news – it’s meteorological, potentially catastrophic even.
And yet I can’t resist posting the 2009 list of Hurricane Names.

Sunday Summary: 5/17/09
She’s yet to crack the Top 1000, but could she be the next Isabella? Friends of friends recently welcomed their second child – a daughter called Esme, 2008’s most popular search name at AppMtn. What’s more, their firstborn is called Finn, 2008’s second most popular search name for boys here.
In Namespotting News:
My mother recently dropped [...]

Sunday Summary: 5/3/09
If there were any doubt that I’m deeply shallow, here’s a random thought that crossed my mind as I was monitoring the swine flu outbreak for my day job: Hmmm … wonder if this will hurt Olivia’s standing in the rankings when the 2010 stats come out?
While I’m still on my wildly inappropriate streak, here’s [...]

Sunday Summary: 4/5/09
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 [...]

I’ll admit that I probably wouldn’t have posted news about Bachelorette couple Trista and Ryan Sutter.
Except.
They named their daughter Blakesley Grace.
She certainly fits in with Avery, Delaney and the like. But I still find Blakesley rather odd. Apparently it is an Old English place name and legitimate surname choice – but does it feel like [...]

We’ve written about middle names before. But today, we’ve decided to offer a fairly simple list for your consideration.
While many of these are gender neutral, this list was compiled with girls in mind. For decades, parents have stuffed an unimaginative Anne or Lynne between the first and last names. More recently, Grace and Rose have [...]
