He’s ancient, Biblical, literary, and had a great run in the 1960s.

Anthony is a saintly staple. Antoinette was a doomed queen. How would this Italian spin wear today?
Thanks to Christina for suggesting Antonella as our Baby Name of the Day.

You might find this name on the pages of Rolling Stone or The Village Voice. How would it look on your child’s birth certificate?
Thanks to Janelle for suggesting Greil as our Baby Name of the Day.

With all this talk of starbabies called Ford and Flynn, could this single-syllable choice get more attention?
Thanks to Lindsay for suggesting Flint as our Baby Name of the Day.

If you think the world-famous mime had the last word on this one, you’re missing a great story.
Thanks to Stephanie for suggesting one from her family tree. Our Baby Name of the Day is Marcel.
Name of the Day: Annia
Once upon a time, she was nearly as common as Julia.
Thanks to Rachel for suggesting the Ancient Roman Annia as Name of the Day.
Name of the Day: Jean-Marc
It is a traditional French double name, worn by artists, athletes and politicians.
But how would it wear in the US? Thanks to Joy for suggesting Jean-Marc as Name of the Day.
Name of the Day: Theophilus
Think Dorothea and Theodosia are a bit much for girls? Here’s an even more serious, bespectacled choice for son.
Thanks to Hanalise for suggesting Theophilus as Name of the Day.

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.
