A baby name that spiked twice! And one of the spikes is still a mystery to me. Can you tell me anything about the name Norita?
Clare's insight:
Top-notch detective work from Nancy! There are lots of interesting things here, including: - Norita was in use by a few parents before the competition in 1935 - "A sudden increase in variant forms always points me to an audio source — something that has a lot of people hearing a name, but not seeing it written down." - I really wonder what the other prize-winning names were!

Nick Allen wonders whether he should give his first-born a suitably 'original' LA name, or revert to good old-fashioned English type.
Clare's insight:
There's a bit of the old "crazy celebrity names" here, but also some potentially humorous upholding of ye olde stereotypes. Looking at the lists at the bottom, there isn't really that much difference between the top five in the UK, US, and California.

« Dieu n’a pas fait d’aliments bleus. Il a voulu réserver l’azur pour le firmament et les yeux de certaines femmes.
Clare's insight:
Feeling blue? You're in good company with Marin(e), Azur, Iris and other flowers, Bleuenn, Céleste, Séraphin(e), Éole, and Aube.
If you feel in need of even more blueness, take a look at Nameberry's post from last week* or search for "blue" on this Scoop.it page.

"I built a web app called, imaginatively, England & Wales Baby Names. Just like the Voyager, you can look up names for your own children and see naming trends. You can quickly search through the 27,000 names used by parents since 1996, and see the exact number of babies given each name every year since 1996."
Clare's insight:
This post was written 18 months ago, but I'm scooping it now because I've just noticed that the site it refers to (http://names.darkgreener.com) has recently been updated and now covers 1996-2012. Happy voyaging!

"Tess is a lovely name. It happens to be the name of my sister, and to be honest I've always been a little bit jealous. I adore Tess on her own (and would use it if it weren't my sister's name), but many people would like to use it as a nickname. If you fall into that category, here are some options."
Clare's insight:
Tess on its own is one of my favourite names, too, but this list contains some intriguing longer versions.

The new Nameberry Quarterly Report of recently arrived babyberries is the biggest and best yet--and first of all, here come the girls! Classics like Alice and Annabel, newer names like Wildflower and Everdeen.
Clare's insight:
Welcome to all these girls! This is proper bathtime reading.* It's really interesting to see names that seem to be discussed a lot in blogs and forums being used in real life, like Elowen, Djuna, and Merida.
Some highlights for me are Amabel Artemis and her siblings; Callie Sage Eilonwy; Hedvig, sister to Idun; Linn; Liqia, sister of Lucia, Lexia, Lyvia and Låmia; Majken; and of course Poet Wildflower Hecate.
*I'd advise printing it out before taking it to the bath.
