September 1, 2009 By appellationmountain 12 Comments

Ever since I mentioned Stephen Moyer’s daughter Lilac in the most recent Sunday Summary, she keeps popping up as an unexpected favorite. And why not?

What have I been doing with my life? Because until a few days ago, I was not on FaceBook. Clearly, I need to rethink my priorities.

Name of the Day: Fern

She’s a little bit hippie chick, a little bit granny chic. Thanks to Bek for suggesting Fern as Name of the Day.

Name of the Day: Linnea

So maybe Iceland isn’t the first place you think of when you hear the word summer. But the island nation and the season upon us are the inspiration for today’s appealing choice. Thanks to Sebastiane for suggesting a perfectly seasonal Name of the Day: Sumarlina.

Name of the Day: Topaz

August 5, 2009 By appellationmountain 12 Comments

It’s a hummingbird, a Hitchcock film and a gemstone. Could this also make for a dazzling baby name? Thanks to Alicia for suggesting Topaz as Name of the Day.

Name of the Day: Bindi

July 13, 2009 By appellationmountain 12 Comments

The late Steve Irwin chose this name for his darling daughter. Now that she’s following in her father’s footsteps will we meet more girls answering to this one? Thanks to Sassy for suggesting today’s Name of the Day: Bindi.

Name of the Day: Clifford

July 10, 2009 By appellationmountain 10 Comments

He’s an oversized fictional canine, and everybody’s favorite know-it-all postal carrier. Could he also be the perfect choice for your son? Thanks to Photoquilty for suggesting Clifford as Name of the Day.

Looking for a distinctive nature name? Parents are bypassing boho chic choices like River and Sky for a fresh category: foreign word names with nature meanings. Thanks to Photoquilty for suggesting a Name of the Day from this intriguing category: Brisa.
