12Jul09

I spent Saturday afternoon at a kid-friendly baby shower, trying not to grill the expectant mom about baby names.  (They’re not finding out the gender, and they’re not sharing names in advance.  Torture!)  But among the small guests?  A pint-sized Zora, named after the author.
In other name news:

I don’t think the Mostly Cajun blogger and [...]

First, many thanks to Pam and Linda at Nameberry for running my guest post on Red Carpet Boys.  And the conversation in the comments convinced Linda to tweak the site’s comments about Clark!  I don’t know what the original definition was, but if you click on Clark, he now reads:

Name of the Day: Lunette

30Jan09

She might be Welsh.  She might be French.  She’s a little bit of a nature name, and even brings to mind the famous Harry Potter.

Name of the Day: Luna

14Jul08

Today’s kids are growing up on Harry Potter, just as certainly as earlier generations came of age with Nancy Drew, Laura Ingalls and Anne of Green Gables.  A modern parent might expect that the heros of the series – Harry, Ron and Hermione – would inspire many a baby name.  But so far, not so [...]

Alphabet: C is for Girls

20Feb08

C has been a rather neglected letter of late. Katherine ranks #36 for girls, making it quite the popular choice, while her sister Catherine languishes at #122. The traditional Caitlin (#207) lags behind trendier cousins Kaitlyn (#41) and Katelyn (#61). Some parents have even opted to spell classic C names like Chloe, [...]

Babes in the Woods

20Feb08

A few decades back, naming your newborn Ocean, Daisy or Indigo branded you granola-eatin’, VW-bus drivin’ Flower Children who might not be quite ready for life off the commune.
