"Right now there is a list of kids names on the wall at my daughter's gymnastics and I love when they do that because I am over there staring at the wall like a nerd for the whole hour trying sort through all these to find something new and unique. Annelia has a very familiar sound to it and it also sounds very fancy to me. Saying this name to myself I get a vision of a little rich girl who rides horses and lives in a mansion. I know that's silly; it just sounds fancy like that to me. It's very pretty. I am guessing it's pronounced like Anna & Leah combined."
Clare's insight:
I think it looks very pretty, though I see several possible pronunciations (like Anna-Leah, rhyming with Amelia, or rhyming with Karelia).

"...in the case of smushing for the sake of family, I say "do what you have to do." Just keep in mind, you can put one family name in the first spot and one in the middle."

My husband and I are trying to decide on a middle name for our son. We were thinking of honoring both of our fathers. Samuel & Eric. I came up with Sameric. Is this a terrible made up name or is this somewhere in the past an acutal name? What do you think? Read more at http://www.babynames.com/blogs/created-name-sameric/#UjXc3bVMFrbUtdek.99"

Is the name Zoella going to become trendy, thanks to a beauty blogger?
Clare's insight:
Hm, I suppose it is (more or less) to Zoe what Luella is to Lucy and Briella is to Bree. Though it might well be that the hits are due to curiosity rather than serious child-naming intentions.

Seeking a classic choice with French flair and literary ties? How about something less common than Elizabeth or Genevieve? Marianne could be the one.
Clare's insight:
I'm very pleased to see this name's been covered, as it's one I'm rather partial to.

My husband and I know were expecting a girl. We wanted something different, so we came up with Evanlea. We combined her both of her godparents name together.
Clare's insight:
It certainly fits well with other well-liked names...and rhymes with heavenly.

Is she a literary invention, a Hollywood borrowing, or an invented name? Joyzelle is a little bit of all three.

Did you ever wonder how ordinary people come up with names that seem so strange or awful to you? I've been writing about strange and awful celebrity baby names for years. Here is an article from th...
Clare's insight:
Never mind the title; there are some good name stories here: smooshes, significant initials, and cultural connections. And besides the children's names, I'm intrigued by the name of the father in the last story: Iliad Thor. Iliad. Not bad.

I just came across the baby name Nicora, and thought it was very unique but not too outlandish for a baby girl (albeit a bit more exotic than other daughters names’, Claire and Morgan). The name is not in your database. Is Nicora a known first name for a girl or is this a made up name? Read more at http://www.babynames.com/blogs/created-name-nicora/#T0PsdR3IfRSim84p.99

Hi Jennifer, I was messing around with names recently and came up with Nadaria, a mix of Nadia and Aria. Read more at http://www.babynames.com/blogs/nadaria/#qJ0tqkQdMebR0O44.99

Reingards Name gehört zu denen, die sich wohl die wenigsten an einem Kind vorstellen können. Süß, lieblich, modisch – das ist Reingard alles nicht. Statt
Clare's insight:
An interview with a lady named Reingard, an unusual name that to German ears does not sound particularly sweet, lovely, or stylish. Reingard is fine with her name, though she has occasionally been mistaken for a man called Reinhard. Also interesting is her son's name, Jonasio: it's a smoosh of his father's name (Joseph) and a Caribbean singer (Nasio).

Barkevious has a similar beginning to Reese's peanut butter cups. His father, Hugh Mingo, named two of Mingo's older brothers Hugh and Hughtavious. After that, his mother, Barbara Johnson, stepped in and combined the first three letters of her name with a name she liked -- Kevious. "She didn't want any more of that," he said. "She wanted her name in there."

She's a quirky retro charmer, part-British aristocrat, part-Southern belle. If Lou names make a comeback, Luella could be one of the most stylish.
Clare's insight:
Interesting choice. In my mind, Luella is juuust on the pivot point between unattractively old and attractively vintage. This post might just tip it over the edge.

Attesting to the popularity of the letter x. Jaxmine is an interesting smoosh.

The author is inspired by her trusty bike basket's name, Basil, and learns that the product name is a mashup of a surname and a place name.
My bike is called Mike, but I've never considered giving my basket a name...maybe mini-Mike?
