Hi Jennifer,
I tried looking up info on my son’s name, Siler Everette, but only found Syler (assuming that is the same name kust a different spelling? ??) What are the origins & meanings of his name? And can you add them to the site. Read More
Hi Jennifer,
I’m carrying boy/girl twins. I really like the names Kepler and Ada. Folks seem to hate Kepler, though, as it’s unusual. Is it really that unusual? I don’t want a name that is too trendy, but I also don’t want to saddle my kid with a name that is more bizarre than I’m giving it credit for. Read More
Hi Jennifer,
One of my all time favorite books has a character by the name of Dymory. I had never heard that name before and I am curious as to it’s origin. The book is Enemy Brothers by author Constance Savery and is set in 1940s England, which was also the era and place in which it was written. Read More
Hi Jennifer,
I recently watched the new Disney movie Brave and I love the name of the independent princess Merida. I looked up the meaning of her name, but couldn’t find anything. Could you tell me what it means. Also, would it be a bad idea to give your child the same name as a Disney princess? Read More
Hi Jennifer!
Thank you for taking my question.
I would like to get your opinion on the name “Atalie” for a girl?
Thanks,
Lewis H.
Hi Lewis,
I think Atalie (Natalie with no N) is actually a beautiful name. Although you have to realize that because it’s a unique name–and sounds so much like Natalie–that if you use it as a baby name, your daughter will be forever explaining “Natalie without the N.”
Thank you for the new name! Read More
Hi Jennifer,
I have been playing around with grandparent names. My grandmother’s name is Myree. She pronounces it like Marie. My mom has said several times it should actually be pronounced My-ree. For the longest time, I thought it was just an odd spelling. Read More

Baby Names Tip: If you're expecting multiples, try not to make the names too matchy-matchy. After all, they're going to have to share their appearance, birthdays, clothes, and many other things! They shouldn't have to share their names, too.
