Starbaby News: Welcome Blakesley Grace

April 3, 2009 By appellationmountain 14 Comments

I’ll admit that I probably wouldn’t have posted news about Bachelorette couple Trista and Ryan Sutter. Except. They named their daughter Blakesley Grace. She certainly fits in with Avery, Delaney and the like. But I still find Blakesley rather odd. Apparently it is an Old English place name and legitimate surname choice – but does […]

Starbaby News: Welcome Satyana Denisof

March 31, 2009 By appellationmountain Leave a Comment

How I Met Your Mother’s Alyson Hannigan and her husband, Alexis Denisof, have welcomed a daughter named Satyana. This one has me stumped! It reminds me of Japanese names – like Satomi – as well as Russian appellations like Tatiana. (And Denisof’s bio indicates that he is of Russian descent, and has a family name […]

Sunday Summary: 3/29/09

March 29, 2009 By appellationmountain 8 Comments

We baptized our daughter this morning. I mention this for two reasons: first, even though our priest has baptized plenty of Jaydens and Ashleys without complaint, I’ll admit it was nice to have a saints’ name for our daughter’s baptismal certificate. Second, my daughter’s godmother is named Sheryll. As soon as the priest handed over […]

I know what you’re thinking – Wolfgang? Sheer madness! Or is it? Thanks to Photoquilty for suggesting our controversial Name of the Day.

Starbaby News: Max and Bob

March 16, 2009 By appellationmountain Leave a Comment

Apparently, Charlie Sheen’s twin sons have arrived. Wife Brooke Mueller and both boys are doing well. Naming a baby Max is no shocker – J. Lo and Christina Aguilera already chose it for their sons, to say nothing of the countless real boys who wear the appellation. (Max ranked #141 in 2007. Add in Maxwell, […]

Sunday Summary: 3/8/09

March 8, 2009 By appellationmountain 5 Comments

It’s here! Earlier this week, the Nameberry gurus published Cool Irish Names for Babies. I’ll publish a review in a few days, but for now, here’s the news: Make Me a Supermodel Season Two is now showing on Bravo. Contestants included Salome, Sandhurst (he’s from Trinidad and Tobago) and Mountaha (she’s from Brazil.) In more […]

Name of the Day: Seraphina

March 3, 2009 By appellationmountain 13 Comments

Up until a few weeks ago, the most famous bearers of this little-known name were a handful of Italian saints. But ever since Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck chose this name for Violet’s little sister, she’s been all Hollywood. Today’s Name of the Day is Seraphina.

Sunday Summary: 2/15/09

February 15, 2009 By appellationmountain 9 Comments

Happy Valentine’s weekend. We’ve had a bumper crop of starbabies this past week: First, there’s the surprisingly restrained Sarah Brianna from KISS’ Paul Stanley; Then there’s the nickname-named Charlie Axel from Tiger Woods. Since his daughter is Sam Alexis, I suppose they pair together well. But I just can’t imagine not putting Charles and Samantha […]

Starbaby News: Meet Seraphina Affleck

January 13, 2009 By appellationmountain Leave a Comment

According to Celebrity Baby Blog, Violet’s little sister is called Seraphina Rose Elizabeth! I’m heading over to Nameberry to see if anyone guessed it in their contest. Seraphina will be Name of the Day on 3/3, but here’s a taste – the seraphim are one of the orders of angels; there have been two Saints […]

Starbaby News: Welcome Dolly and Charlie

January 6, 2009 By appellationmountain Leave a Comment

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell have welcomed their twin daughters. The girls are named Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip. It’s an interesting duo. While Rose is among the most common botanical baby names, I’ve never heard of a Tulip. Rebecca and Tamara are graceful in the middle spot – Rebecca after mom and […]
