What, What and Rocknroll? What Will Kate Winslet Name Her Baby To Be? | NameCandy | Name News | Scoop.it

"Academy Award winner Kate Winslet is expecting baby number three with new husband Ned Rocknroll, PEOPLE reports. The mom to tweens Mia Honey and Joe Alphie seems to have an affinity for short and sweet names. Ned Rocknroll, born Ned Abel Smith, changed his name back in 2008 to reflect his fun-loving personality."

Is Eve still on the cards, too?

Roses and Cellar Doors: Rare but Real (2012)

"Time for another round-up! Here are some of the gems somehow at the bottom of the SSA list--only given to 5 kids last year."

Clare's insight:

Making its debut on this page, here is Roses and Cellar Doors!  Mea culpa for not being aware of this blog before; I've just this moment spotted it on the blogroll at Baby Name Pondering.

 

Anyhoo, I'm enjoying today's post, particularly because it contains Pascale (bit of a crush) and my brother's name (any guesses?).  Looking forward to more.

Baby Names! Heath, Sullivan, Adria, Isla

Anagram names are names that have the same letters, just used in a different order! Here is a long list of anagram names: http://www.behindthename.com/anagra...
Clare's insight:

A couple of surnames for the boys, and a bit of Mediterranean (or Scottish) flavour for the girls.  Plus anagram twin names, and a sister for Charlotte and Eleanor.

Baby Name Pondering: Enid Blyton Characters

Baby Name Pondering: Enid Blyton Characters | Name News | Scoop.it

"After writing about Enid and her famous namesake author Enid Blyton, I thought it might be fun to look at some of the names that she used in her stories."

 

Clare's insight:

Jolly good, it's a treasure trove of names!  Some of these have never gone away (Katherine, William), others have made quite the comeback (Violet, Rory), and still others are just waiting for the next generation (Joan, Kenneth).  And look - but don't shout too loud about it - there's Hilda!

Like "offbeat" names?  This list is well worth a read, with commenters' children named Thora, Zuzu, Elorra, Tobin, Zen Vader, Calamity, Wolfgang, and more.  And there's a lot of love for Tamora Pierce and Philip Pullman, which is never a bad thing.
