Hey! I'm so sorry I haven't been posting lately. It's hard to manage 2 blogs, but with the Holidays coming up, I hope to do more posting.

Anyways, I few weeks ago, I picked up a fun app (for iPod) from iTunes- 50,000 Baby Names!
Although I highly doubt there are 50,000 baby names, I really like this app! Especially the fact that when you click on a name, it comes up with a 'bio' on it!
There also are popularity and alphabetical lists.
By clicking the heart, you can add the name to your Favorites list or you can just keep scrolling through.....
You can even add custom names!

But the best part of this app......
it's free!

ps. if you are searching for baby name apps, please search 'baby names' (you could find bad apps if you just search 'name')

Name Pairs Part 3

Hey! One of my favorite parts of BabyNames.com is that members can create names lists on what they might name their future editions. These name lists are very easy to use and have everything to do with Name Pairs!
So it shows the gender of the name, the name itself (it can also include middle names), and you can vote 'yes' or 'no'. 
Take this one for example. I really liked the name, do I hit the green thumbs-up button and it tallied up my vote along with others. I think one of the reasons I liked the name was because it was very cute and reasonable. Madelyn is also not a very common middle name.
But then, here is this one. I can't pronounce the names so I hit the red thumbs-down button and it looks like the majority of people agreed with me!

Actually, I've never found a Name List with names that I love, most of the time I vote down. It's not a bad thing but I like the option of giving people my opinions so maybe they think twice about naming their kid Tahlo Kaii. What do you think?
