" Many letters of the alphabet (ten to be exact) form names when you put the suffix -ay at the end of them. Most of these names sound dated, and not all are useable, but some of them sound fresh, exciting, and ready for a comeback."
Clare's insight:
I do like a nice classic May. This is a lovely list, and if you're looking for more -ay names, see also http://www.thenamefreak.com/2013/05/fonzie-names-ending-with-ay.html

"Some are trendy, some preppy, and some are classic. Whatever your style, you’re bound to be inspired by the names of these starting NFL quarterbacks."

Um olhar sobre o nome Sandro.
Clare's insight:
Sandra sounds dated in Portugal as well as in the English-speaking world, so Filipa was surprised to find that the male equivalent, Sandro, was #84 in Portugal in 2011, and rose to #78 in 2012. She thinks she might just be living in a non-Sandro pocket.
It's a short form of names like (the Italian) Alessandro, but Filipa just doesn't think it feels very fresh. Maybe something like Xandro would appeal more?

He's a quirky nickname worn by a Filipino actor. In our Fox, Alex, Felix moment, could Junix work for another child?

I like it! Junix is cool. Is there a Julix too?
Scoop.it!
Everybody wants to know what the cool names are, but the concept can be difficult to define. Are the coolest names those that are newest and most unusual, or are cool baby names the undiscovered gems with deep personal meaning?

He's a Welsh rarity sometimes heard as a surname, and a big place name in London. Would Harry Potter's Cadogan work for a boy born in 2013?
Clare's insight:
What an interesting bundle of names we're getting this week! I agree that, with the stress on the first syllable, this might appeal to fans of 3-syllable surnamey, vaguely Celtic names like Cassidy and Kerrigan.

"Tuppence! Tuppence is a name now? Oh please... It's the one she was born with – her grandmother nicknamed her mother Tuppence, and the mother couldn't part with it. But before you ask, she's no relation to our future queen."
Clare's insight:
Included for the quotation above. Will Tuppence rise even more now?
