That is soooo wizard, Ani...

Thinking of a name?  Perhaps you are pondering what combination of consonants and vowels would be best to foist upon that rapidly dividing miasma of cells currently gestating in your womb or that of your spouse; that little person will have to live with it for the rest of his/her life: it better be good.  And I'd be willing to bet you have a name of your own.  (Unless you were a rock star in the late 1990s and are currently sporting a raspberry beret.)

If any of the above applies to you, you would be remiss in passing up the opportunity to briefly investigate the Baby Name Wizard.  I now know, for example, that 'Simon' was the 240th most popular name in 2003, having made a comeback from being ranked 543rd in the 1950s.  (I don't want it to come back too much though.  I rather enjoy having a name less quotidian than most.)

I was happy to see that the name my wife and I have tentatively selected for our next child (should it be a girl; and no she's not pregnant yet) is rather low on the ranking.  You really should take a look.

Funny. I saw this a couple days ago. Must remember to pass it on to the wifatical object.

We were all somewhat non-plussed when my sister named her three children Elijah, Micah, and Josiah. According to that site, they are right on the leading edge of the old-testament-prophet trend. In a couple of years, every kid will be named Ezekiel, or Nehemiah, or Haggai. Oh well, we were trendy in the nineties, when we named our son Matthew.

Love the new logo!!! I can recall choosing a name for our first born. We had settled on Arianna Nicole...the day she was born, on first seeing her, I said" Hi Shannon Tara-Lynn"...so much for choosing a name before-hand...fore-warned is fore-armed :)Penny ( always an unpopular name, but somewhat unique)
