May 31, 2017 / BY Name that bump
Girl Names Starting with 'A'  This is by far my favourite letter series for baby girl names. I think that girl names starting with 'A' can be so elegant and feminine.

Name of the Week Everlee, Everly, Everlie or Everleigh? I love this name! It reminds me of a princess name from a fairytale story, I think that it is such an elegant and pretty name for a little girl. However, whenever I look this name up online everyone prefers the shorter spelling of Everly, how would you spell Everleigh? [ev-er-lee] Origin: English ...

Name of the Week, JAX

May 28, 2017 / BY Name that bump
Name of the Week This name inspiration comes from the fictional character Jackson "Jax" Teller from the television series Sons of Anarchy. When I watched the show a few years ago this name caught my attention right away, and it has stuck with me.  I really like how this name is a variation of Jack or Jackson with a cool 'x' ending to make it more unique.

Name of the Week, CAMDEN

May 21, 2017 / BY Name that bump
Name Of The Week This is easily my favourite moniker for a boy right now. I think the first time that I heard it was when Nick & Vanessa Lachey named their son Camden John. I like that it has the familiarity of the nickname Cam, but it puts a spin on the traditional name Cameron.  [Cam-den] Origin: English ...

Name of the Week, NORAH

May 21, 2017 / BY Name that bump
Name Of The Week This name variation of Nora makes the top of my list and is this week's name of the week! Norah (Nora) is oftentimes the nickname of Elenora, Lenora, Annora and Honora. However, in this case, I am much more favourable of the shortened version of these names rather than the formal/full-length versions. I think that this name can stand alone as a first name for a baby girl. Has there ever been a...

Name of the Week, JAMES

May 15, 2017 / BY Name that bump
Name Of The Week I just adore the name James!  I always envisioned the name James to be to too common and too classic to be a first name but overtime I have found myself preferring the name as a fist name. Really, it is the perfect option for either a first name or second (middle) name. Do you prefer this name as a fist or second name? [J(a)-mes] Origin: Hebrew  ...
