If you’re a regular here, you’ll know that the best way to request a Baby Name of the Day is to email appmtn (at) gmail (dot) com.

But if you’re not quite that bold, here’s your chance: if you’ve never, ever, ever requested a NotD here, go ahead and leave a suggestion in the comments.

  1. Love to hear your thoughts on my daughter’s name: Willa. I hear it everywhere now, but it still hasn’t cracked the SSA’s top 1000 names for girls since the first half of the 20th century.

  4. I would love to see a post about the name Edmund, it’s my favorite name and I have been lurking hoping it would come up for about a year now. I also second Cecily’s suggestion of Antonia, another one of my favorites.

  5. Sorry to post again, but I have another name I would like to see for NotD – Hazen. It’s a boy’s name, and I came across it while doing researching some Canadian history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazen_Argue). I think Hazen is a very interesting name; I misread it as Hazel when I first saw it!
