  1. #BabyNameJury Emony is gone. Next up: Georjean. What say you, just another alternate spelling or one step too far? http://bit.ly/QDffo
  2. #BabyNameJury comments on Emony: "Hegemony minus Heg?" "I actually thought of e-money" "Can only stay if Ibory gets in. Perfect harmony."
  3. #BabyNameJury should Emony stay or go in Namipedia? It's Emily meets Ebony (and maybe enemy): http://bit.ly/nyDdD
  4. Recent trend on Namipedia -- new compound names based on Aubrey: Aubriana, Aubrielle, Aubryn. My bet's on Aubriana for the biggest impact.
  5. A hung #BabyNameJury means Castle (boy) and Utopia (girl) both stay in Namipedia...barely.
  6. #BabyNameJury Some lofty new Namipedia submissions: what say you to Castle http://bit.ly/tSETe and Utopia http://bit.ly/3RVJDL?
  7. The full lowdown on the 2nd edition of The Baby Name Wizard, due out next week! http://bit.ly/2rlU6k
  8. UGH to stories that refer to celeb baby name Marion as "the traditionally male spelling." It's a classic girl's name, many centuries old.
  9. @JennieB121 Да, конечно!
  10. Global name ranking season, another reason to be grateful for my high school Russian classes: http://bit.ly/heRsR
  11. #BabyNameJury Per the Jury's advice, "Valekyrie" stays -- with spelling corrected to Valkyrie.
  12. #BabyNameJury This off-spelling of Valkyrie has to go - http://bit.ly/EPjdl - but should I fix the spelling or delete it altogether?
  13. #BabyNameJury -- thanks all, Evtushenko is no more.
  14. I think the animated me is pretty funny, but she kind of freaked out my kids: http://bit.ly/KDeVf
  15. #BabyNameJury: Is Evtushenko (after poet Yevgeni Yevtushenko) really used as a first name? http://bit.ly/1O5Zs
  16. More on Quill: It's Irish with a fashionable sound, high Scrabble value, and literary flourish. I picture a sibling for a little Beckett.
  17. I've never before added a name just because I saw it in a comic strip. But this one could have "it," don't you think? http://bit.ly/9UGbh
  18. Do you aggressively fight off all attempts to call your child by a nickname? Here's a cautionary tale: http://is.gd/16fen
  19. Thoughtful words from friend David Sexton on having a child with cerebral palsy: http://is.gd/15FUX
  20. Thanks for asking: BNW2 will be on sale July 7. Make sure your copy has the extra "Fully Revised..." circle. More info to come in my blog!
