It was a sunny December Friday, a red-letter day thanks to my guest post at Nameberry on The Art of the Smoosh. It is always a privilege to spend time at their site, and I was thoroughly enjoying the comments.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a mention of Appellation Mountain on Lisa Belkin’s The Motherlode blog at NYTimes.com. I printed a copy for my mom, and wondered if it would be cheating to fold the print-out so “New York Times” and “Abby Sandel” were smooshed closer together. (Today has a theme, I think!)
If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’re a long-time reader, thank you!
P.S. Tune in tomorrow for another Reader Baby Name Story.
This is so fun! It’s neat to be ahead of the trend curve for once 😉 haha! That was a great post, as usual!
Now I just hope this doesn’t slow down my name-post reading 🙂
I am sent by motherlode yes! I love this site!

That’s fantastic!
And I can say, “I knew her when…” even though it’s not technically true. I still claim the connection. Back in the day, you were Verity, anonymous, well-liked name nerd on Yahoo! Answers. 🙂
Congratulations on a job well done! Your blog is amazing; I’m continually recommending it to pregnant friends who I think could use the help.
