Whether you're naming a baby, or just all about names, you've come to the right place! Appellation Mountain is a haven for lovers of obscure gems and enduring classics alike.
I voted for Casimir, but Ishmael was right there on top with him… I choce Casimir for my sister’s sake, she LOVES it, mostly due to Sufjan Stevens song ‘Casimir Pulaski Day’ which according to my friend is one of the best and honest portrayals of Christian life in song. I must say it is heartbreakingly beautiful, and I very much understand why my sister likes the name so much 🙂
I voted for Ishmael mainly for my husband. He loves this name, but I haven’t warmed up to it yet. Maybe an Appellation Mountain post will do the trick!

The big winners from last week’s poll were Artemisia and Pimm.
Lemuel is a family name for me too!

Lemuel gets my vote.
Wow, I’d rather hear about Larkin than any of these!
I did not know Casimir was so popular! I really love Casimira too.
I picked Ishmael but Casimir intrigued me too.
I voted for Lemuel – a family name for me.
It’s a toughie this week, no clear favourite for me but I voted for Dabney in the end.
Ferdia gets my vote.
Me too, but i don’t think its going to win! Might i ask what interests you about it? Irish heritage but pronounceable does it for me!
Its similarity to Ferdinand, and a general curiosity about its origin. I’ve come across the other names, but not Ferdia — always a draw!
