Clare's insight:
I do occasionally misread Elise as Elsie, but like Swistle, I wouln't say that's a big enough issue to avoid Elise. Have your say by voting in the poll.

The Aggies are coming! If Agnes is the new Beatrix, could Aggie be the next Abby, Addie, or Annie? If Agnes works, why not Aglaea, Agatha, or Agnessa?
Clare's insight:
Ooh, and Agate, and Aggrippina...there certainly are lots of ways to get that diminutive.

"Fenicia is a kind of place name that means both "phoenix" and "Phoenicia," as in the ancient kingdom."
Clare's insight:
I've never heard Fenicia before, but I like it! And also the possible nicknames - Fen and Fenny are rather sweet.

"I tend to look up rankings when I want to know something specific and haven't just looked at them in depth much. So, I am going to try to do a bit more of that."
Clare's insight:
How well do you know the US Top 100? This is a nice piece of number-crunching that appeals to my inner nerd. I especially like the "ends with" chart, as that's something that isn't always looked at so much.

" Halloween is upon us! For my favorite time of the year, I'm going to profile names taken from my favorite kind of creatures: vampires."
Clare's insight:
It's not quite Hallowe'en yet! But anyhoo, look at these glorious names: from Mick and Mavis to Morning and Margolotta (and also plenty beginning with other letters).

I'm getting tired of web publication sites circulating what is essentially non-news. "Hispanic" names are "on the rise" in the USA, and are "in"-- and (gasp) with white parents! I'm going to explai...

Have you read the article this post refers to? (I haven't scooped it here, but there are ample links in this post.) Did you feel something wasn't quite right? This post helps to articulate that feeling.

I love discovering new-to-me names. On the AppMtn Facebook page, someone posted about meeting a baby Bronco. My initial reaction was Whoa! Yes to Fox and Wolf and maybe Bear, yes to nearly and ends-with-o name for a boy, but Bronco?
Clare's insight:
