READ MORE >>Fetching Names: Wishing & Hoping
I recently had a reader request a list of names that mean wished-for child. It’s a lovely, thoughtful meaning, and for so many families, a reflection of their journey. It also isn’t a very Western meaning. Light and bright, yes. Battle-ready, sure. References to animals and nature? They’re abundant. But the more poetic meanings can […]

READ MORE >>Baby Name of the Day: Eirene
The lady-like Irene has a tailored, retro flair. But how about this version, closer to the original goddess? Thanks to Sarah for suggesting Eirene as our Baby Name of the Day.
