I would love a name consultation for my main character’s name! Her name needs to go well together with the others, not be similar to another character on any other TV show, not accidentally be the name of a real person, and be Catholic.

Happy feast of St. Kateri! I did a spotlight on her name back when I first started the blog, and she's the first entry in my Sibling Project. I've also mentioned the Auriesville Shrine a few times, which is where St. Isaac Jogues and companions were martyred, and where it is believed St. Kateri was…

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are known for their unique naming style, so it wasn't too surprising that they picked the highly unusual Psalm for their youngest son, who was born two weeks ago. It was an eyebrow-raising choice for some, but personally, I think it's a great fit with their family. They're clearly a…

My baby’s name is King-Oluwafeolamiloju Praise Odebunmi.
What inspired the names you gave him?
His name was divinely inspired. While I was pregnant, I prayed a lot about what my baby would be called. I woke up one morning, and that was the name I woke up with."

I've been digging word names related to the faith lately, like Tiber, Shepherd, Vesper, and Rosary. This may or may not be due to my frantic desire to add some unexpected names to our short list for our baby (if a boy), which I really just need to calm down about. !!! I read about…
