Name that Bump!

Name of the Week Although I think that this could be used as a gender bender name, I am sharing it today as a name for your baby boy. I first heard this name on the show 16 and Pregnant on MTV. It stands out to me because it is another one of those names where it is a fresh spin on a traditional name.  This spin on traditional name Ryan keeps it unique, ranking above...

Name of the Week This name is near and dear to my heart, it is my sisters name. However, I am a little jealous that I can't use this name for my daughter one day for that reason alone.  My mom chose this name for my sister from the popular movie The Thornbirds.  I just adore this name! I think it suits a little girl so well but also grows with you and ages appropriately....

Girl Names Starting with 'E' Previously on my blog, I have featured my favourite baby girl names that start with the letter A. I said that the letter A was my favourite letter for girl names but the letter E is a close second. These names sound very feminine and are sort of 'frilly' names in my opinion which I just adore. I am sharing eight of my favourite names from this alphabetical theme, it...

I thought it sounded like a very cute and creative name for a little girl.

Name of the Week Another name that is not overly used yet, is Mack. It remains out of the top 500 names in 2016 for a baby boy. It is commonly used as a nick name for names like Mackenzie, Maclin or Michael but it is more and more being used as a first name moniker for boys.   However, I would note that whenever I hear this name my brain automatically goes to the...

Name of the Week  The name Hallie (pronounced the same as Halle Berry) is one of my favourite names right now. I am torn if I like it spelt Hallie or Halle, I have even toyed with the idea of spelling Haleigh.  I'm concerned that spelling with the 'I' will encourage people to pronounce it like the name Haley/Hailey and you would always have to be correcting them. I remember hearing this name on the movie the parent...
