Lista de nomes preferidos começados por A.
Clare's insight:
Do some of your favourite names changes from year to year? Here are Filipa's favourite A-names of the moment. Nice see Alma there.

We may all speak [roughly] the same language, but the baby-namers in England/Wales have a different set of top names in mind than we do in the states! Take a look!
Clare's insight:
As the title suggests, this is a looong list, but it's great to have all the top 1000 in one place. My favourite new realisation is that Aston and Martin are next to each other (like the car manufacturer)!

" One of the best things about Baby Name Wizard is the tools available on the site. Namefinder, Namipedia, Name Voyager & Name Mapper all allow you to look at names in a different way, for free."
Clare's insight:
I for one am a big fan of BNW, and it's very interesting to see what goes on behind the subscription in the Expert Tools. There are some very clever calculations happening there!

Endlich mein erster Chantalismus (in dem Fall wohl eher Kevinismus). Entdeckt im sächsischen Pirna.
Clare's insight:
Fynn Erik Tyr. Actually, I rather like it, in an awesomely uber-Germanic way.

“Really, Anne? Are you serious?” you might be thinking. For years Anne was dismissed as nothing more than a boring middle name. Now that one syllable names are becoming stylish, this seemingly clas...

So far this year, well over 1,000 babies in Thailand have been named after characters on the popular soap opera Suparbburuth Chutathep.
Clare's insight:
I wonder how much of an increase this represents from figures for these names before the show.

La généalogie est un formidable vivier de prénoms. Preuve en est cet article très intéressant sur GeneaNet intitulé Les prénoms oubliés de nos ancêtres.
Clare's insight:
This is very timely, as I've seen a few Facebook discussions about names from the family tree in the last few days, and in any case they're of perennial interest.
Here are some French readers' ancestral gems. They're worth a look if you like names that are unusual, archaic, or, well, French. Here we have Mérilda, Evandelin, Ancelet, and more.

" Rory is a very cute nickname, but she doesn't have a lot of long forms. However, most names that start with an Ro work."
Clare's insight:
I actually met an eleven-year-old girl named Rori (not a nickname) this summer. Very exciting.

Het is weer tijd voor het maandelijkse overzicht van opvallende Vlaamse kindernamen. Mijn favorieten deze maand zijn Meisje en Boy, Power Courage en het duo Anis en Arshdeep. Welke namen vind jij het opvallendst?
Clare's insight:
Go Stig! Worth a look at this list for some multicultural and plain unusual names.

Krista posed: Thoughts on the name Briar? Not a very impressive meaning, but something about it is resonating. Anything in addition to the "small thorny shrub" meaning you might know about the name...
It sounds like another take on glass-half-full or glass-half-empty: do we focus on the flowers or the thorns?

Die Top 10 der Listen der häufigsten Vornamen der Personen mit Wikipedia-Eintrag aus den 1950er Jahren aus Deutschland im Vergleich mit der entsprechenden beliebte-Vornamen.de - Liste.
I've been putting off reading this for a while (who's afraid of the big bad Deutsch?), but I'm glad I finally have.
It alerts readers to a website* where you can search for the most popular names of people in Wikipedia.de entries, by nationality, gender, and decade, from 1400 to the present. It also tells you more about the names in question if you click on them.
It's a bit addictive, and I wonder whether a similar tool exists for other countries. It would be awesome if so.
