Bewitching Names and Curious Ideas: Sagittarius the Archer

Bewitching Names and Curious Ideas: Sagittarius the Archer | Name News | Scoop.it
Today, the sun enters Sagittarius. Sagittarius usually runs from November 22 to December 23 depending on the year. The symbol of Sagittarians is the centaur. In Greek mythology centaurs often give into their animalistic impulses, but they are also wise, adventurous, and brave.
Clare's insight:

A lovely long list of archery names, horse names, adventure/travel names, fire names, time-of-year names, white, blue and purple names, Sagittarian-attributes names, and more.

The Beauty of Names: Hello, Fall!

The Beauty of Names: Hello, Fall! | Name News | Scoop.it
Fall is probably my favorite season, followed closely by winter, which is really sad because I live in the south where we have fall for about a week before moving into the worst, wettest winter you could imagine. In honor of fall finally arriving, I'm going to do a post on names that remind me of fall and relate to it.
Clare's insight:

Kaede, Aiman, Alondra, and more.

You'll find lots more autumnal name posts here.

Bewitching Names and Curious Ideas: Harvest of Fruit

Bewitching Names and Curious Ideas: Harvest of Fruit | Name News | Scoop.it
Blessed Mabon!

Mabon is the only Wiccan holiday that is not based on an ancient equivalent. That being said, the Autumnal Equinox is an official holiday in a number of countries (in China the Autumnal Equinox is the moon's birthday, for example). Mabon is the second of three harvest holidays. While Lughnasadh focused mostly on grains, Mabon focuses mostly on the harvest of fruits.
Clare's insight:

Blessed Mabon to all!  Speaking of which, did you spot an older brother Mabon in last week's UK birth announcements?  Most exciting.

This time of year brings thoughts of the colorful season, and those thoughts inevitably turn to names (of course). What's the history with the seasons as given names?

"Today is the day that the sun sign enters Leo (generally it lasts from July 22nd to August 22nd, depending on the year). Leos are traditionally known for being caring and generous leaders. They have a lot of dignity and tend to like luxury, but they also know that they have to work hard. Leos tend to be a bit vain and love being the center of attention. Generally they're very sociable and love to help people.
