Hello, Jennifer!
I’ve been reading your BabyNames site for a while and I really enjoy it. I have a question about the name Christian. Can it be just a name, not connected with religious views of a person who bears it or his/her relatives? Read More

Pete the Cat: Pete at the Beach is a delightful escape for many of us caught in this particularly horrible winter. My preschooler was drawn to a new book in a favorite series, and I was drawn to anything involving sun, sand, and some faint memory of what life is like when not buried under snow. Read More

Hello,
My boys are 2.5 years apart and we wanted to give them strong Persian names. Our oldest is Darius (Dariush) and our youngest is Darian. I loved their names until recently when people/strangers started commenting on how similar they are, and it’s confusing. Read More
Hi Jennifer,
My husband and I are expecting our first child in a few weeks and we do not know if we are having a boy or girl. We have been set on a boy’s name for more than two years, and it is actually my great-grandfather’s name, and I love it.

Hi Jennifer!
I love your site; it’s Internet candy for me! I have a quick question about my middle name: Alyda. It’s tough to find name meanings for it and I have no idea what the origin of it is. Read More

I’ve recently gotten into the show “Game of Thrones” and I have fallen in love with the name Daenerys. I know it’s made up, but I can’t seem to find a meaning of it anywhere!

Dear Babynames.com,
I love reading the naming blogs, BUT I have to say my #1 pet peeve is when the “experts” advise not to use a name that is going to cause your child to spell it. Read More
Last year, I was volunteering in my daughter’s first grade class when a little boy told me a knock-knock joke.
Knock knock!
Who’s there?
Interrupting Cow!
Interrupting Cow, wh–
MOOOOOOOO!
This was cute — the first 32 times, at least — so when I saw Interrupting Chicken on the shelf at our library, I thought of that joke and how much fun it was for the miniature comedian. Read More

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 –er names and actually do like it, but I’m not sure I like the idea of telling our son we came up with his name from a serial killer on TV.
