How We Got Into Baby Names

Here is a little from each of us about how exactly we got into baby names, Enjoy! :)

For me, I have always been into children.  As far back as I can remember I have always loved to pretend and dream of my future.  I would think of what I would name my future children.  Several years ago, I joined Yahoo Answer and that got me loving baby names even more and since then I have joined Formspring.  I just love baby names! :)

My first memory of my name obsession is having the Little House on the Prairie books read to me and thinking that Laura was simply a gorgeous name. As I got older, I developed a love of writing stories and naming characters in them. I developed my first official fav names in or around grade 10, consisting of Madelyn, Sabrina, Aaron and Connor.

When my cousin, Rachael, and i were younger, we used to play house. When we played, we were the mommies and each of us had 6+ kids. Our favorite part of having many "kids" was picking out their names. A few years ago, Rachael introduced me to Yahoo! Answers and I found the Baby Name section. I soon became addicted to answering other people's questions and discovering new names. I joined the Formspring name community last year and I love everyone on there more than anything.

I honestly have no idea where my love for baby names came from.  It probably started with me naming inanimate object human names (trees were Isabella and bridges were Johnny).  I had some (but very little) influence in the naming of my brother and sister.  I got onto Formspring just out of curiosity but ended getting cyber-bullied.  I changed my name and tarted looking for people with similar interests and then I got soaked up into the baby name community and look where I am now!

Baby names .. I just love them. Why? Well as I said in my “About Me” section, I have always, always, always had a passion for working with children. Obviously every child has a name and so when I was about 9 or 10, I started babysitting and one of the little girls I babysat was named Olivia. I was like Oh what a cute name and I just fell in love with the name. Ever since then I have just been intrigued by names. I love finding new ones. I love making sibling sets. I just love names. Some of my favorites for girls right now are: Reese Alexa & Lennon Olivia. And some of my favorite boy names are: Cash Roman & Camden Jack.
