  • The Dexter Association

    Hi Jennifer, My husband and I have a last name ending in –er so I always said I would NEVER name a child something ending in –er to avoid the rhyming sound. Lately, I’ve been hung up on Trent and he’s liking Dexter…I actually don’t think it sounds as rhyming as a lot of other…

  • Calling Captain Kirk!

    Hi Jennifer, My husband and I have been arguing lately over what to name the boy we’re expecting. I like generic names since my name is Chaesyn (like Chasen) and no one knows how to spell it or even say it. Ever since I was a teenager I’ve loved the name James and wanted to…

  • Blending Surnames

    Hi Jennifer! I’d love to hear your advice about blending my last name, Rothschild, (ROTH-child) with my fiance’s last name, Meyer (MY-er). The readily available options are Rothsmeyer and Meychild, (although we’d probably do Rothmeyer or Mychild, to spare our kids the trouble of spelling it over and over for people). Which of those do…

  • Manic for Manoch

    Hello Jennifer, I recently lost my great-grandmother over the holiday season. A woman I loved very much and am honoured to be named after. However, since her passing I’ve been doing an abundance of family research. She had thirteen bothers and sisters! Ten of which survived into adulthood. Any who, my question is, during my…

  • Formal Name v. Nick Name

    Hi Jenni, I was wonder what you think of the name Skyley for a girl? It’s going to pronounce like skylee it just the spelling is different. Stephanie V. Dear Stephanie, First, my name is Jennifer. And I’m not just correcting you, I’m making a point about diminutive names.  I, personally, don’t believe you should…

  • Street Name for Baby Name

    Hi Jennifer, I was wondering what you thought of the name Adderley for a girl, nicknamed Addy. It’s the name of a street in my hometown. Thanks! Molly Dear Molly, I like it, and the fact that you associate it with a good memory.  I often advise people to look into their own personal histories…

  • Grandma Permilla

    Hi Jennifer, My grandmother’s middle name is Permilla, as was her grandmother’s middle name that died three months before my grandmother’s birth. I love the name and I wouldn’t mind having one of my future children’s middle name as Permilla (if I have a daughter), but I would like to know what it means. I…

  • About Evuska and Feedback on Cherry

    Hi Jennifer, My question is:  Do you know the meaning of Evuska?  I was told it is basically my own name (Evelyn) in Slovak. Could you in some way verify this for me?  Thank you so very much. My Comment is:  You advised a writer to you not to name her child Cherry. Respectfully, one…

  • Ya-Ya Sisterhood Name

    Hi Jennifer, We are having a baby girl soon and have not picked a name. I just read the ya-ya sisterhood and fell in love with Siddalee. I can not find its meaning anywhere. Did the author make it up? Do you think having such a different name would be a burden on her? Thanks,…

  • Did Einstein bend balls?

    “Soft, flexible plastic with bright primary colors make this Ball fun and easy for little fingers to bend, squeeze, grasp, and roll,” says Baby Einstein. The Bendy Ball also has a rolling Rattle Ball inside inside to add additional sounds and visual stimulation to the toy. It’s $7 here. (affiliate link)
