NAME OF THE WEEK

Long time no see!! Buried over head in school and some other special announcement!

I'M STUDYING ABROAD IN THE SPRING!! From January 5-May 1, I'll be London, England.

Anyways this week's name of the week is...

Gender:  Girl

Meaning: new

Origin: Latin

Rank: 529

Other names that go with the name:  Lilith, Dahlia, Gaia, Vance, Xander, and Jack

My opinion: A lesser known nature name.  Nova from the word supernova.  It could also be considered a place name... NOVA Scotia.  Nova is a very cute alternative to Noa if you don't like Noa.  You can also make a cute twin set of Nova and Avon!

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.

Other names that go with the name:  Freya/Freja, Rose, Eliana, Brody, Stefan (steff-in), Owen

My opinion: Liv Tyler is one of the main reasons I love this name.  I mean.  Look at her!! SHE'S GORGEOUS! It's such a great alternative to the always popular Olivia.  Liv is a popular nickname for Olivia so my question is... why isn't it as popular as Olivia?
