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. For girls, I’ve love to see Delaney, Geneva or Petra featured as a NotD.

    & For boys, I second Rita’s request for Joachim.

  2. I have no idea if any of these have ever been featured, but how about…

  3. Hi I am a long time lurker, I have never commented or suggested a name before.

    I am having my first baby in October and the names we like are Felix for a boy or Greta for a girl. It would be nice to learn a bit more about the names in name of the day.

    Thanks!

  4. I’d like to suggest my name – Bella. I actually chose this name for myself about 10 years ago, before it became really popular! I’d like to know some of the history behind it.

  5. You know, on second thought, there is a name that I’ve never been able to find out much about… My boss’ name, Munevera, pronounced mon-EV-ra.

    She’s Croatian, and I think the name is beautiful… She goes by the nickname Moni, and I just think it’s exotic and lovely.

  6. What about Cordelia? It’s one of my favorites, and I don’t think it’s been featured yet. Thanks!

    1. I adore Cordelia! And you’re right – I’ve never written about her. She’ll be featured on August 13.

  7. We are expecting our second child in the fall and will name the baby Sloane if she is a girl. Would love the see Sloane be the name of the day! Thanks!

    1. Sloane is one of my long-time favorites. She’ll be featured on August 12. Thanks for the suggestion!
