Clare's insight:
Welcome, Jax Copeland! Some speculation about the inspiration behind his names.

De Nederlandse top 20 van populairste kindernamen in het eerste kwartaal van 2013 kent een grote verrassing met Tess als nieuwe nummer 1 bij de meisjes. Bij onze zuiderburen zien we zelfs twee nieuwe lijstaanvoerders: Louis en Marie.
Clare's insight:
I'm hugely impressed by the speedy stats-releasing in the Netherlands and Flanders. This list is an interesting melting pot of Flemish, French and Anglophone, and crossover international names that it's hard to pin down. Like the list from the Netherlands, many are short and sweet.

Are you looking for a baby name that is a bit different to the rest, but not outrageously so? That's uncommon, yet not odd or obscure; stylish, but unpretentious; and that stands out from the crowd...
Clare's insight:
I really enjoyed reading this interview and learning what inspired Upswing Baby Names. I also like the step-by-step guide to checking that first, middle, and last names work together.

Faramond is to the Franks, what Arthur is to the Britons. If your looking for a semi-mythical legend that is rarely used, Faramond's your man. Origin: From the Old Germanic dithematic (two-part) name Faramund.
Clare's insight:
Big thanks to Elea for mentioning this Scoop.it page on Facebook this week - my statistics are soaring :-)

Written by Pamela Redmond Satran for Nameberry Which baby names are hottest out of the gate for 2013?
Clare's insight:
Same as the Nameberry Scoop below, but in a different slideshow format.

I looked up Kidspot's 2011 name data in order to see which names rose and fell the most, and as the list only covers the Top 50, I also consulted the national Top 100 for 2011 compiled by McCrindle...

Today's name is a surname typically seen as a girl name, although it could definitely be masculine too! Fallon is derived from the Irish surname O Fallamhaim, meaning "descendant of Fallamhan." The...
Clare's insight:
That's a surprising number of Fallons out there - and also in the UK, where there have been a steady 15-30 Fallons a year since 1996.

Clare's insight:
A mother comments on the inspiration for her six children's names. Interesting that the names sound very contemporary, yet most have family connections.

I was inspired when I found out that Kerri Walsh-Jennings, one half of the massively talented U.S. women's beach volleyball team, scored a gold for the U.S.

I knew I'd seen Margery spotlighted somewhere recently - it was on this site last week.

Jack Huston and Shannan Click welcomed their first child, daughter Sage Lavinia Huston, on Saturday, April 6 in New York City, the actor's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Clare's insight:
Welcome, Sage! If this were before 1752, she would have been born on new year's day.

It's time to recap the names of the babies born in the latest series of One Born Every Minute. For the unenlightened, this is a documentary set in a maternity hospital in the north of England. Lo...
Clare's insight:
Here's one from me. Don't get too excited, I don't usually blog about names (or much else for that matter), but ended up writing a list as I watched the series, and thought I'd better share it.
Scoop.it!
Clare's insight:
Ah, interesting! I haven't been following Dr Who recently and have only seen the first appearance of this character. I thought her name was just Oswin, which I'd guess is rather less likely to catch on as a girls' name than Clara.

It’s a seldom-heard ends-with-o name that could wear well in 2013. Thanks to X for suggesting Valo as our Baby Name of the Day.

Intriguing range of possible origins for this one!

It's been a long time since I've done one of these posts, isn't it? Nevermind, but today's mother is a former Eurovision competitor turned TV presenter. As part of group Precious, Jenny Frost repre...
Clare's insight:
I remember Precious in Eurovision! And Atomic Kitten, of course...those were the days. Where were we? Oh yes, thinking about an unusual choice of names for girl twins. I think I'd still pick Casper out as the boy in the sibset, though.

Tess stoot Emma op spectaculaire wijze van de troon als populairste meisjesnaam van Nederland. Bij de jongens staat Daan nog altijd bovenaan.
Clare's insight:
The Netherlands retains its status as the land of short, sweet names - the average length of the top 20, at a quick guess, is just over 4 letters. And Tess is one of my top best favourite names ever.

Happy (belated) birthday, Isadora! I'd love to visit a nursery with all those names on the register.
