Happy June everybody! A few weeks ago, Mini Boden's Summer catalogs were released, and guess what? The names are back! I am beyond thrilled that we get to continue these posts (because we all know Boden models have the best names).
Clare's insight:
They really do: Emelda, Nieka, Lorenz, Bowdazz, and more here.
Scoop.it!
Last week my monthly Boden catalogs came in the mail, and there was good news and bad news. The good news was that there are new models, which means new names to talk about. The bad news? They are no longer listing the names in the women's Boden catalog. Only Mini Boden. That kind of bummed me out, but there were so many great kids names that it made up for it (almost). Let me know what you think.
Clare's insight:
Interesting lists here, with Teddy, Soli, Yasmin, and more.

"Anthropologie is my all time favorite store. I love when their catalog comes in the mail, it's always so beautiful. Many of their Spring clothes have interesting names, so I thought I'd list them here. Tell me what you think."
Clare's insight:
At first I thought these were people's names: although some are exotic (Ciel, Majorelle, Tisana), they're pretty much all believable. I must admit Lolanthe makes me a bit uncomfortable, as I can't help thinking it's a misreading.

This week: baby name inspiration from Game of Thrones, high fashion, J. Crew, Design Mom, and more. Oh - and what would you name triplet girls?
Clare's insight:
Come and enjoy the highlights of the week! (And thanks for the mention - credit to Anna for spotting that one)

"I'm starting to think Boden chooses their models solely on their names. I mean, really."
Clare's insight:
Ooh, some good unusual names here, like Arlenis and Inguna.

Clare's insight:
The stylish names just keep coming! Including Mavis, Sally, and a boy named Cadence.

Annesley and Sienna, Indigo and Reverie: The Sundance Catalog features names in keeping with its cosmopolitan cowgirl fantasy. - baby names
Clare's insight:
Mm, a very enjoyable list: Maire, Patience, Pacifica, and more.

I like most of these but these stood out: Adonia, Britta, Devi, Greta, Luna, Maire, Clarity, Frost, Reverie, Solstice and Winter.

" Everybody knows that the best part of looking through children's catalogues is the names. Companies like The Land of Nod make it very easy to name spot with all their mongrammed items. This holiday issue had some especially good ones."

" Holiday cards are one of my favorite things about the holidays. I usually shop for them online, but you can imagine my excitement when I found Shutterfly and TinyPrints catalogs sitting on the kitchen table. Not only do I get to browse wonderful holiday cards, but names as well! Here is an interesting assortment for you to browse."

After repeatedly hearing the theory that Pottery Barn predicts the next popular baby names on the personalized items in their catalog, I set out to determine if this is true. I sampled baby names f...

Hooray! Ever since I wrote this post I have been waiting for Paper Source to switch their invitation designs and incorporate new names into their catalog. It finally happened, so take a look at all the new names mentioned.
Clare's insight:
Luvvit. Especially some of the doubles, like Mathilda Marie and Tyler Horace.

The Holidays are officially here, which can only mean one thing: a giant influx of mail. I recently got the Tiny Prints catalog, and I looked at the names on the cards right away. Overall they were pretty run-of-the-mill, but I found a few gems (Maxine and Simone--yes, please!).
Clare's insight:
Well, Maxine is one of Abby's names to watch for 2015. I've met a young Maxine (whose mother is French) and can testify that it works very nicely!

"A name doesn't have to be "creative" or "ghetto" to be Black; it just has to be Black long enough."
Clare's insight:
Great snippets on living up to the name Madonna; consulting the Pottery Barn catalogue; racist stereotypes; hipsterist stereotypes; a shade of red; ah I love Call the Midwife; how even not revealing your chosen name isn't dangerproof; and living up to the name Blaze.

"Last week I did a post on the Mini Boden names, but today we are going to talk about the regular Boden. Not only will this list contain the names of models, but also of the fabulously names products."
Clare's insight:
Things get really interesting at the bottom of the list: I wonder whether Ariette, Jerniya and the rest are people or products...my hunch is products but it could go either way.
Scoop.it!
"The Summer edition of Mini Boden has finally come out, and that only can mean one thing: new names. Hooray! I was really surprised with this season's crop; many of the children's names are ones I consider "mom names." I'm sure they sound normal to people in Britain, but tell me what you think.""
Clare's insight:
This was a welcome reminder that sometimes I get so caught up in the names of the moment, and in American trends, that I forget what's really happening on my doorstep. Amy, Hannah, Megan, Nicole and Rebecca are all in the top 120 in England and Wales. They're all on a gentle downward slope, but they're being given to hundreds of girls each year (like the ones in the Boden catalogue!). Also some lovely boys' names, like Francis and Lindo.

I've recently noticed something interesting. In the boom of Christmastime the mailbox abounds with catalogs. Catalogs you never even signed up for magically appear with the Christmas spirit of hopi...
Clare's insight:
I always enjoy a catalogue name safari - and have you ever wondered how often biblical names pop up in them? (There would be even more if nicknames were counted, such as Joey for Joseph.)

There's long been talk about the Pottery Barn catalog names being trend-predictors. Now Angela Mastrodonato of Upswing Baby Names gives a brilliant analysis of why this may or may not be so.

" Olive & Cocoa is one of my favorite catalogs for names (just behind the Boden trifecta). The names are the perfect balance between out-there and usable. Here are some from the Holiday catalog."
Clare's insight:
It's a feast for the eyes: Teddy, Gus, Celeste, Chindi, and more.
Scoop.it!
" The hipper counterpart of Shutterfly, TinyPrints definitely has the cooler names (Clementine and Isla vs. Mia and Claire. I rest my case). Enjoy (another) long list of Catalog Names."
Clare's insight:
This is an intriguing mix, especially if all the names belong to children: Ellen, Candace, Trish, Brian, Jensen, and more.

"When your my age, you aren't looking at the Mini Boden catalog for the clothes (though those are super cute, and I do enjoy looking at them). You look at the Mini Boden catalog for the names. Hands down the best catalog for name perusal is Mini Boden, and you can see why."
Clare's insight:
What a treat - I do like a good catalogue-browse. Featuring Martha and Arthur, Cai and Tye, and more.
