10/10/09--13:37: Cool Botanical Names (chan 1612348)

Last weekend, I went over to my aunt’s house to help them with some paperwork, housework, and such. Saying she is a plant lover is an understatement. She has volumes and volumes of botany books, and beautiful garden full of plants I can’t even pronounce, let alone try to grow. I am the furthest thing [...]

11/12/09--14:37: Analyzing the Top Twenty: 1880 (chan 1612348)

In honor of the coming new year, I will be analyzing the top 20 names once a week for every ten years, all the way up to 2009. I know that doesn’t quite fit, but I thought every decade would be easier. First is 1880: 1 John Mary 2 William Anna 3 James Emma 4 [...]

12/06/09--16:32: Top Twenty No More (chan 1612348)

I decided it was too much work to go through all the top twenty lists…ah, lazy Lucy. Well, if I get any requests to continue them, I might, but I’ve never been good about series posts. I would write about 2 of them, then I would get bored and want something else to write about. [...]

I’m in love with the name Sophronia right now, its absolutely luscious. It has the same meaning as Sophia, but prettier and more elaborate. Sophie as a nickname is adorable. Comments?

Well, sorry for taking such a humongous break. If anyone actually reads this thing and cares to know what happened, here goes: Basically, my older niece was pregnant, and I was helping out with the wedding before that, so I was very busy. She became pregnant a few weeks after the wedding, and she will be [...]

So, lately, I’ve been thinking about the filler middle names quite a lot. It seems I really like them, but not as middle names. I prefer them as first names instead, because they sound so fresh and new that way. Here’s just a list of them: (as first names with other names as middles) Grace [...]

06/08/10--07:44: The Gems and Jewels of Shakespeare Names Pt. One (chan 1612348)

I love Shakespeare. Yes, call me weird, call me a nerd, but I just love it. The Elizabethan language, the way the words flow unlike any other piece of English literature, and of course, the names. Of course we have Juliet and Ophelia and the like, the famous ones. But my very favorites are the [...]

Here comes part two, the tragedies. Romeo and Juliet Juliet (obviously) Rosaline **And I have to mention that using Capulet as a first name intrigues me.
