Thanks for visiting!Several weeks ago, I had written about a gentleman who named his daughter after the Republican presidential and vice –presidential candidates. A new trend has developed; this one is also associated with the American presidential elections.
Mothers in Kisumu, Kenya, [...]
People in many places celebrated in myriad ways yesterday when Barack Obama was elected the next president of the United States. Perhaps nowhere was the party as enthusiastic as in maternity wards the world over, especially Kenya, Obama’s birthplace.
Today saw a flood of little Baracks, Michelles, and even Obamas, as mothers hope their little bundles [...]
Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton, TN has secretly named his newborn daughter Sarah McCain Palin after the Republican Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates without his wife’s knowledge.
Apparently, Ciptak decided to change the name he and his wife had agreed upon for their child which was Ava Grace Ciptak. What was his reason for the change of heart? [...]
I would love to have another child, and even another daughter. I already had a name for her until I saw a listing of popular baby names around the world. I guess I won’t be naming my daughter Sophie. I prefer unique names, and if I named a future daughter Sophie, she’d [...]
The Olympic Games is the most prestigious sporting event in the world, and as well as inspiring athletes to compete for gold, it’s also inspiring baby names across the world.

What are they smoking in Florida? A radio show in Orlando was giving away a $100 gas card to the caller with the most interesting item to trade. Dad-to-be, David Partin, called into the show offering the naming rights to his unborn son.
The presenters declared him the winner, and his son is going to [...]
When my husband and I named our daughter Monet we were pretty sure that it was relatively unique, as far as names go. When she was about two months old I was reading through a parenting magazine and there was her name, smack in the middle of a short article about cool, unique names [...]
My husband and I had a little girl’s name picked out even before we were married. The other day, my husband asked how set I was on that name, and tossed out another option.
