He’s a Southern gentleman, and something of a romantic pick for a son. Thanks to Christina for suggesting Rhett as Name of the Day.

Cade, Slade, Chance and Trey all appear in the US Top 1000. Whatever happened to this single-syllable choice? Thanks to Christina for suggesting Dirk as Name of the Day.

Plain Jane is back in fashion, but what about this spin on a feminine form of John? Thanks to Photoquilty for suggesting Joan as Name of the Day.

Name of the Day: Eliza

There’s Zoe and Zara, Zelda and Zahara, even Zenobia and Zuleika. Z names have an undeniable appeal. But if your tastes lean more towards the classic, you can still have your z. Thanks to Inbal for suggesting Eliza as Name of the Day.

Name of the Day: Cecil

Cecilia is a current choice for girls, with variants Cecily and Cicely attracting more attention among the fashionable. But what about her distinguished brother? Thanks to Photoquilty for suggesting Cecil as Name of the Day.

Name of the Day: Cynthia

April 27, 2009 By appellationmountain 9 Comments

She’s a sophisticated epithet for a moon goddess, but ever since the 1970s, this name is more likely to conjure up The Brady Bunch. Thanks to Toni for suggesting Cynthia as Name of the Day.

Name of the Day: Glenn

Some place names are obviously torn from the map. Indiana, for one. Or Savannah. But others are subtle – so common in the first spot, in fact, that we’ve forgotten they started out as anything else. Thanks to Photoquilty for suggesting Glenn as Name of the Day.
