" These are the most popular names for Chile from 2012."
It's springtime in Chile, just as it starts to turn chilly up here... thanks to Bree for these lists, including Maite, Cristóbal, and more.
We might wish to compare them with the top names in Spain*: same(ish) language, quite different trends. None of the top 10 boys' names are the same in both countries, and only two of the top 10 girls' names (Sofía and Martina),
*http://nomesportugueses.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/nomes-mais-populares-em-espanha-em-2012.html
I love all of these names!! My favorites are Isidora and Catalina, Cristobal and Joaquin! Good job, Chile!

A Kansas baby born not breathing in 1913 was saved by -- and promptly named after -- a pulmotor resuscitation device.
Gosh, what a terrifying hour that must have been. I think I'd be willing to name a child far worse things than Pulmotor just as long as it could breathe...

"Having a Halloween baby? Why not name them after your favorite candy? Here are some usuable options."
I'd love to be in the US for Halloween one year, not least to sample these excellent-sounding confectionaries. Have a good evening!

"If you are looking for cool names for your baby, look no further than this list. Hipster, in this case, means cool -- cooler than cool. So cool it's like ice but cooler. So cool your baby will definitely wear black and possibly rock a moustache pacifier (if only for photo ops)."
An interesting anf largely on-the-pulse bundle of names, from Daisy and Jack to Astara and Bear.
For some analysis of what these names are doing here, see http://babynamesinthenews.com/2013/10/31/like-100-totally-amazing-hipster-baby-names-really/
And another reaction: http://jezebel.com/hipster-names-are-loping-towards-babies-hello-chopsti-1454474098
I totally love all the names on this list but I wouldn't call them "Hipster".

Name advice from Jennifer Moss, founder & CEO of BabyNames.com
To clarify, Deorwine is Old English, and Derwyn could be a respelling of derwen, the Welsh word for an oak tree.

"A jornalista Raquel Matos Cruz foi mãe de um menino e o nome escolhido foi Xavier. A jornalista já era mãe de Jacinta, cuja escolha me deixou muito satisfeita, lá longe, em 2009! O nome do menino não é, de forma alguma, tão inusitado quanto a escolha de Jacinta, mas continua a ser pouco previsível e isso é muito louvável!"
Welcome to Xavier, son of the journalist Raquel Matos Cruz and little brother to Jacinta.

The Gothic revival (otherwise known as Neo-Gothic or Gothic Victorian) was one of the foremost trends of the Victorian era.
From Lapidoth to Tresilian, Bellicent to Semiramis, these names are not for the faint-hearted.
Now these are some serious names! I can't help but love this list! (Perhaps this is my era!) From Amadeus to Everard to Leonidas, Andromeda to Esmeralda to Minerva... Love!!

" An actual conversation between a friend's husband and a guy he didn't know very well, while watching a particularly disobedient kid at the playground:"
Have you ever wondered why name bloggers bother to list names from horror films, or with other negative associations? This is why. Excellent stuff.

"We may no longer wear our hair up and our hemlines way down, but our current fashionable names bear a striking resemblance to the hot names of the 1890s."
Do you know, Alma is really starting to grow on me, purely from repeatedly seeing it in a "will it ever make a comeback?" context.
I love names from this time period! Includes Alma, Helena, Archibald and Ernest.

Primrose is a beautiful and rare name in the US. It is the name of a flower that is not actually a rose. What do you think of it as a name?

This article by Michele Zipp from The Stir seems like it might be fun. (I’m always looking for fun, funny or charming articles about baby names to share with my readers.) Unfortunately, she forgot ...
Thanks to Bruce for pointing out this article, and for writing a post that's curious, positive, and analytic. :-)

"My husband and I are expecting our first kiddo in December. We don't know what we are having and are keeping it a grand surprise. We are planning on going in with 3 boy and 3 girl names and meeting the little one before finalizing. My question is for boy names, George is on our long list and ..."
Sensible advice, as usual. I had to laugh sheepishly at the royal-loving stereotype, because currently hanging in my kitchen is a tea towel commemorating the Queen's diamond jubilee...
A very short, not entirely committed, answer...
