We’ve all had those moments. Like in that Talking Heads song. “This not my beautiful life.” Or, to cut to the point: And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?” Life changes. We change! And sometimes the person we were twenty, ten, or even five years earlier seems like a stranger to […]

Happy Thursday everyone! There are some changes happening here at Sancta Nomina, which I'm excited about! First: Starting today I'm going on hiatus from baby name consultations until probably around Christmas -- some things are happening in my family (all good!) that I need to be able to focus on for the rest of the…

Now that the new baby name popularity data is out, I’m guessing some of us are experiencing one of two feelings: My favorite name is rising – everyone stop using it! If everyone else is using it, I can’t possibly use it for a child of my own. Oh, wow, my favorite name is falling. […]

It’s that time again, when companies release their picks for Color of the Year. Spoiler alert: it’s green. No, really. Sherwin-Williams went with Evergreen Fog. Glidden chose Guacamole. Behr’s Breezeway is sort of like sea glass. And PPG named Olive Sprig. Okay, there were some outliers. HGTV’s Aleutian is described as a washed-out indigo. And […]

By the time you read this, I’ll be home. But I’m writing this from the middle of the Magic, in Disney World. It’s been ages since we’ve been here. (Or much of anywhere really.) But here we are. Or were. And I forgot how much I love Disney World #namespotting. Kids wear their names on […]

Bituin means "star" in Tagalog. The Tagalog people make up a quarter of the Filipino population, and a standardized version of the Tagalog, simply called Filipino or Pilipino, is the national language. Before colonization, from places such as Spain, Japan, Britain, and not shockingly, America, the study of stars by the native people were integral to life. For example, when the constellation Orion, called Balatik by certain peoples, for it's resemblance to a hunting trap they used, appeared in the December sky, they knew it was time to start preparing the land for farming. Stars helped with so many things, like knowing the best time to fish, or set out to sea.

It’s perfectly fine to give your baby a Top Ten name. Or a rock-solid classic that everyone’s heard before. You are under no obligation to thrill me with your child’s name. And yet, there’s something about those names. The ones that surprise and delight. That make you say “ooooh!” Especially when it’s crystal clear that […]
