"Just when we thought we had heard enough about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby name, there's more! TMZ is reporting that the couple have named their daughter North, as in North West."
Scoop.it!
"If you've been following the Kim Kardashian and Kanye West baby name news this week you may be suffering the same kind of whiplash we are. First, there was no name announced. Then, there was the "leaked" name, a very plausible Kaidence Donda West (a variation on the fastest-rising baby name of the 2000s decade and Kanye's mom's name). And now, the "official" word on this biggest celebrity baby name story of the year (so far), is that the baby's full name is North West."

Although the name of Kim and Kanye’s baby daughter has not been officially announced by the couple (though she was born on Saturday, June 15) a nurse at Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai hospital leaked “ne...

The most popular names in Spain, 2012 = Nomes e mais nomes: Nomes mais populares em Espanha, em 2012
Lista oficial de nomes mais populares em Espanha durante o ano de 2012.
Clare's insight:
This needs little translation: here are Spain's top names for 2012. The lists are great for showing Spanish versions of names that anglophones know and love (or, in some cases, don't love), as well as some unfamiliar ones.
If you'd like more Spanish names, try filtering this page by the tag "spanish".

Um olhar sobre os nomes Miriam e Moisés.
Clare's insight:
Miriam and Moses: Old Testament siblings, and both little-used in Portugal, though Miriam slightly more. The author wonders if Moses is now open to people of all faiths and none.
