Christmas Names!

Hey! Sorry for my long absence but now I'm back with Christmas names! The holiday season is by far one of my favorite times of year and I was happy enough to learn that there are many Christmas-themed names- here are a few! (these are mostly girls' names)

• Noelle- this is a beautiful unisex name meaning 'born on Christmas Day'.
• Natala, Natalie, Natasha, Natale, etc. all also mean 'born on Christmas Day'.
• Estelle- this is a gorgeous, sweet name meaning 'star'.
• Dorothy- this is a classic name although I'm not sure about it yet- it means 'Gift of God'.
• Eira- this is a unique name of Welsh origin and means 'snow'.
• Angel- this name is self explanatory but it is also very beautiful!
• Holly- this again is self explanatory but is also so sweet and precious!
• Dior- this is a very unique name and means 'present'.

You may be wondering why Estelle is highlighted- well that's because it's my favorite of the bunch! Which one is yours?

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?

Name Pairs (part 2)

Hey! I learned a lot on Name Pairs and I find that one of the hardest things is middle names. There are many options but here are the most popular middle names for boys and girls.
After looking though many sites I have concluded that

Marie, Elizabeth, Grace, Rose, Michelle, and Ann 

are the most popular for girls and

James, John, William, Stephen, Michael, and Joseph

are the most popular for boys. Just look at many celebs for example.....

Like, Debby Ryan from The Suite Life on Deck, her middle name is Ann.

And did you know that Michael Gambon's (also know as Dumbledore movie 3-7) middle name is John?

And the glamourous Selena Gomez's middle name is Marie.

But anyway, back to Name Pairs some of my favorites include:

Gabrielle Faith

Charlie James

Brenden Conner

Marie Elizabeth 

Henry Nicholas

Harper Joy

Helena Joy

Evan Christopher

What are some of your favorites?

PS All week I will be doing posts on Name Pairs including my favorite name pairs and more on them!

L!

Hey everybody! It's time for the letter L! So sit back, relax, and look at some cool L names! 


This first thing I want to do is write the 5 most popular girl and boys names that start with L:


Boys:                             Girls:
1. Liam                          1. Lily/Lilly
2. Landon                      2. Lila
3. Lucas/Lukas              3. Leah
4. Logan                        4. Layla/Leila
5. Levi                           5. Lucy/Lucie


Personally, my favorite out of all the lists would have to be Lily/Lilly! I prefer the spelling of Lily though. It's an English name and means Lily Flower.


I think my favorite 'L' name would have to be Leann. Although I like the spelling Leahanne better. I think it's more unique and an English name!


Logan. Hmm.... this is an interesting name for me. I like it, but to me it definitely more of boy's name than a girl's name- what do you think? It is Irish and has an interesting meaning- From the Hallow.


While searching for interesting 'L' names I stumbled upon the name Lyric. This is a very trendy name and was most popular in 2009. I think this name is a little too trendy for me and it means Words of a Song.


But before this post is over, I want to mention a show that I really like called Quints by Surprise. It's a cute show about a family with 6 kids on TLC. They have some very cute kids names so I decided to create a poll asking you what your favorite name is (that they named their kids) so take my poll!
