Rerun: Sybil

July 30, 2012 By appellationmountain Leave a Comment

Highclere Castle

I’ve been thinking about Sibyl and Sybil ever since Nameberry put her on their list of 2012’s Hottest Names.  Sybil appeared on AppMtn back in 2008 and seemed due for a check-in.

The Nameberry sages were reading signs from television, of course, inspired by Downton Abbey’s principled, rebellious youngest daughter.  But even without her influence, Sybil seems tempting.  The spare, modern-sounding appellation has a fascinating story.  She’s feminine, familiar, and yet almost entirely unused.

Please go here to read and comment on the post.

They're expecting a daughter! She'll join brothers They're expecting a daughter! She'll join brothers Damian John + Dominic Joseph. They're not set on using another D name. In fact, they'd always liked Piper for a girl. But now they're not sure. Stick with D names? Find a great middle for Piper? Or start fresh?

Martin Charles was named for his grandfather - her Martin Charles was named for his grandfather - her ex's dad. Now she's expecting again + can't decide. Should she choose a name she loves?
