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!

Your opinion: leave it in the comments! :)

My Current Top Names

Hey all,
Recently, I've been feeling the need to completely redo my names list, so in case I do, I thought I'd run through them here!

Jacob Douglas "Jake" - Jacob is one of those names that always seems to be hovering around my tops. I just love it so much! To me, it's timeless and can absolutely withstand mega popularity. I also love Jake as a nn option. Douglas honors my daddy and I absolutely will use it as a middle for my first boy!
Calder Isaac - Calder is a newer name to me. I love it because of the association with the trophy given for the AHL playoff winner. As my future children would definitely play hockey, I think its a neat association. Isaac honors my brother and uncle as well as just being a cool name!
Luke Sullivan - I used to FAR prefer Lucas to Luke, but lately the simplicity of Luke has just been super appealing to me! I also think it pairs well with Sullivan. Sullivan is my last name and if I were to change my name before having kiddos, it'd be a cool honoring middle.
Gibson Alty - Gibson to me just seems like a total cool name. I love the guitar association and could just imagine the most awesome little dude with this name. Alty was a family surname and is my grandpa's middle.
Keir Silas - I love the sound of Keir, but also sometimes feel like it's a little to out there. Silas is one of my favorite cousin's names.

Adina Claire "Addy" - Adina is a newer name to my lists, but I definitely think I could see me using it. I love the association with the character in Beauty Queens by Libba Bray. Addy is just a darling nn option. Claire is my nana's name and like Douglas, would be an automatic choice for my first girl.
Posy Alison - I think Posy is one of those names that's just unimaginably sweet without being too cutesy. I also like how it pairs with Alison and sort of softens it up a little. Alison would honor my best friend Alyssa.
Verity Paige - I have this thing about book names for girls- Verity comes from Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein which is one of my all time favorites. I love it's sassy feel and the meaning. Paige is my other best friends name.
Layla Bee - I Layla's association with the Eric Clapton song. I also just feel like it has a really gorgeous, musical sound. Bee would be to honor my mom (Bessie "Bee"). I do feel that this combo is a bit on the cutesy side, but I still love it.
Caroline Poppy "Cory" - Caroline is one of my all time favorites, but for whatever reason I just don't know if I can see me using it. I love the Cory nn option; super girly names with more masculine nn's is one of my favorite things! Poppy indirectly honors my papa who is a WWII veteran.

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 JaredJared 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.

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

Name of the Week!

This week's name of week is...


Liv 
(Liv Tyler pictured)
Gender: Girl
Meaning: Life
Rank: #927
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?

Your Opinion: leave it in the comments :)
