Name of the Week!

Gender: Boy

Meaning: Descendent

Rank: 58 in the whole 90's decade and 305 in 2013

Other names that go with the name:  Ava, Natalie, Lily, Caleb, Shane, and Isaac

Famous people named Jared: Jared Leto (actor and lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars), Jared Padalecki (actor, Supernatural), Jared S. Gilmore (actor, Once Upon a Time)

My opinion: I literally LOOOVE this name.  It truly needs to come back.  With the nicknames Jay and Red (which I think is a cool way to honor a Robert since Red is an nn for Robert) it's so refreshing.  Yes, I know it's in the top 500 but it really isn't that popular.

Names from my Favorite Shows!

I had a really hard time narrowing down a favorite show for this week, so i decided to list names from two shows! My favorite shows are Bones and Criminal Minds and here are some of the names of the characters and actors from the shows that i like!
Aaron
Morgan
Spencer
Paget
Jack
Camille
Caroline

Happy Birthday Mom! Names from Law & Order: SVU

In celebration of my mom's birthday today, I'll talk about the names of characters from SVU.  I'll only talk about the originals not the new people (can't stand them).

Elliot

I really hate the name Elliot on either gender but looking at Elliot Stabler (or Christopher Meloni in general) just makes me love it.  I MEAN LOOK AT HIM.... DROOL!

Olivia

Mariska Hargitay (muh-rish-kuh) plays Det. Olivia Benson and was Elliot's partner throughout the show until his departure.  I really don't like the name Olivia but the squad mainly calls her by her nickname "Liv" which I adore as a full name.  

Odafin "Fin"

A super unique way to use Fin as a nickname.  Fin Tutuola is easily one of my all time favorite characters on the show.  Ice-T is a fantastic actor and rapper.  Because of this show, I'm liking this name a lot.

John

Plain ol' John.  Not John Munch.  Richard Belzer's excellent portrayal as the conspiracy theorist and witty Detective.  I like John's variant, Jack, and the French form Jean (zhawn) but John is just plain IMO.

Donald

Gahh Dann Florek is amazing.  Captain Donald Cragen has been with the show since the beginning, but eventually left the show.  I do prefer Ronald but Donald is an awesome pet name.

Melinda

Melinda is such a mystical name and I love it.  Tamara Tunie plays the very professional Medical Examiner Melinda Warner and never bended the rules.  With the nickname Mel or Ellie it's perfection.

George

BD Wong is one of my favorite small screen actors and is very good at playing doctors (he's played 2 on the small screen and 3 on the big screen).  George is one of the few names I despise.  I really like the feminine forms Georgiana and Georgianna but George is old-man-y.  Dr. George Huang (hwawng), like Warner, rarely bended the rules and when he did, it was for the good of humanity.

Casey

Casey Novak was the original Assistant District Attorney on the showed but was followed shortly by Alexandra Cabot.  As you can tell, I'm not a huge fan of the name Casey but I'm doing this for my mommy.  Casey is an alright name and I'll leave it at that.  ADA Casey Novak is played by Diane Neal.

Alexandra

Last but not least is the most recent ADA, Alexandra Cabot played by chef Bobby Flay's wife, Stephanie March.  I can't decide who I like more as an ADA but Alexandra > Casey name wise.

Updated Top 10 Names!

Hey everyone!
Today I will be sharing with you my personal top 10 names! They have changed SO MUCH since I last shared them with you, which was about a year ago.
The names are listed in order from 1-5 (1 being my favorite). I have also listed the possible nicknames, rank on the SSA list for 2013, meaning of the first and middle names, why the name is my favorite, and the name that was in that spot last year.
Enjoy!

#1
Name: Lia Rose
Possible nicknames: Lee, Leelee
Rank: 385
Meaning: 'weary' / 'rose'
Why Lia Rose is one of my favorite names: I have always loved the name Leah, but when I stumbled upon this spelling, I fell even more in love. "-Lia" is the ending of my grandmother's maiden name, and I love how I am able to honor her by using this spelling. Also, Lia is an Italian name, and I am 50% Italian. Rose is my middle name, as well as my great-grandmother's name. It also honors another great-grandmother, whom is named Daisy. 
One year ago: Lia Rose

#2
Name: Caroline Thea
Possible nicknames: Cara, Carrie, Carly, Callie
Rank: 63
Meaning: 'free man' / 'goddess'
Why Caroline Thea is one of my favorite names: Caroline is such a "Sweet" name (bonus points for those who get the reference ;)). I adore names with nicknames, and obviously this name is not lacking in that department! Thea is a diminutive of my Grammie's name, Dorothy. She is my best friend, and I hope to be able to name a child after her some day.
One year ago: Lily Jane

#3
Name: Juliet Nala
Possible nicknames: Jill, Jet, Jules
Rank: 238
Meaning: 'youthful' / (meaning of Nala is unknown)
Why Juliet Nala is one of my favorite names: I never really paid attention to the name Juliet until Stephanie (AnastasiaRuby on Youtube and Instagram) named her daughter Juliette. She is such a beautiful little lady, and really has me loving this name. Nala is my father's and grandfather's middle name, Alan, spelled backwards. It also honors my deep love for Disney!
One year ago: Abigail Sarah

#4
Name: Nella Kate
Possible nicknames: Nell, Nellie, Elle, Ellie, Ella
Rank: Not in the top 1000
Meaning: 'bright, shining one' / 'pure' 
Why Nella Kate is one of my favorite names: I LOVE the nickname Nell / Nellie, but would never use it on its own. I think Nella is such a cool and unique way to get those nicknames. I work at a daycare center, and there is a little girl there named Anella, whom we call Nella. She has loved me since day one, and made me fall in love with this name even more! Kate is my cousin Sara's middle name, and the nickname of two other cousins named Caitlin.
One year ago: Alison Lindsey

#5
Name: Savannah Lily
Possible nicknames: Sav, Savvy, Van, Vanna, Ava, Annie, Anna
Rank: 37
Meaning: 'tropical grassland' / 'lily' 
Why Savannah Lily is one of my favorite names: Savannah has always been one of my favorites! I first heard it on 7th Heaven, when Lucy named her daughter this in the 2005 episode 'Paper of Plastic?'. It has been in and out of my top 5 for a while, but it is sitting pretty at #5 for now. Lily honors the same people as Rose, as it is a flower name.
One year ago: Isla Siobhan

#1
Name: Aidan Joseph
Possible nicknames: A, Aidy, Danny, AJ
Rank: 147 (However, Aiden is 12)
Meaning: 'little and fiery' / 'Jehovah increases'
Why Aidan Joseph is one of my favorite names: I love all of the -ayden names (except for Jayden), so of course, I love Aidan. Joseph is my uncle/godfather's name, and the male variation of another great-grandmother's name, Josephine.
One year ago: Nicholas Anthony

#2
Name: Landon Jack
Possible nicknames: Landy, Andy 
Rank: 39
Meaning: 'long hill' / 'God is gracious' 
Why Landon Jack is one of my favorite names: There is something so soft-sounding about the name Landon. I know that it is getting SUPER popular, but I just love it! Jack is honoring a woman who has made a huge impact on my life. She is my best friend's mom, and her name is Jackie. She has helped me through all of the hard times in my life, and has kept me strong. She also got me my first job, and I am forever grateful for her.
One year ago: Daniel Scott

#3
Name: Parker Dane
Possible nicknames: Park, Parks
Rank: 74
Meaning: 'park keeper' / 'from Denmark' (these meanings together make me laugh lol) 
Why Parker Dane is one of my favorite names: Parker is a long-time favorite. I go by Ali Parker online, but Parker is not my real last name. It is just a name I love, and decided to use as a "pen name" when I joined Formspring years ago. Dane is a combination of my Grammie's first and middle names (Dorothy + Jane = Dane).
One year ago: Andrew Colin

#4
Name: Jace Anthony
Possible nicknames: Jay
Rank: 66
Meaning: 'the Lord is salvation' / 'priceless' 
Why Jace Anthony is one of my favorite names: I actually just added this name to my top 5 today (Sunday). I love the name Jace, and yes, I got it from Teen Mom. Anthony is my brother's middle name and my grandfather's first name.
One year ago: Aidan Joseph

#5
Name: Jordan Nicholas
Possible nicknames: Joey, Jo
Rank: 53
Meaning: 'flowing down' / 'people of victory' 
Why Jordan Nicholas is one of my favorite names: Along with Jace, Jordan was just added to my top 5 today. It had been on there a couple weeks ago, but it took a leave-of-absence. I love Jordan for either gender. Nicholas was my great-grandfather's name, and is the masculine form of a cousin's middle name, Nicole.
One year ago: Samuel Leo
