What’s In A Name?
I could talk about names all day. I’m fascinated with names and why people choose certain names.
It’s a HUGE responsibility giving someone a name, and I don’t think you realize this until you’re pregnant. Or, at least I didn’t.
Just agreeing on a name can be tough. I know everyone has said,
“Yeah, I knew a real jerk named Bob*, we’re not going with Bob*.”
(* Fill in any possible name in the world)
Family names are cool. And old-fashioned names are making a comeback. But they always are, aren’t they? We have a neighbor named Harriet, and her granddaughter is Harriet too, they call her ‘Haddy’. Neighbors down the street gave their 2 kids the same monogram. We have another little neighbor named Jasper (it’s old-fashioned AND a family name, it turns out).
Don’t believe me about old-fashioned names? Check out the Social Security website! Yes, that social security. The Social Security Administration has a part of their website devoted solely to the popularity of names!!!

Are you sure that Jasper wasn’t named after that “soldier” vampire from Twilight?
I love old fashioned names. Always have. All of my dolls had names like Charlotte and Mary. So of course I went old school with my own kids’ names, Oliver, George and Eleanor (all family names too!)
Tell me what you're thinking...
