We went to visit a coworker of my dad’s and he has two kids named Olivia and Easton.

So Ancestry.com has led me into records of the Latino branch of my family tree.

Not my relative, but I’ve found a woman called Dulces Nombres, literally translated as Sweet Names if my Spanish serves me. Please correct me if I’m wrong! But I pictured her parents wanting to name her something sweet.

The census I’m reading currently is from Texas in 1938, which means it includes an amusing combo of long Catholic Spanish baby names that sound super serious and very America from the 1930’s names that sound like they’re from a different universe entirely. I’ll probably post some somewhere, it’s such a fun sampling of how two different cultures named their babies at the time.

Edit: Actually I will not be doing that as I just realized that these babies are very well still living and I don’t want to dox anyone! I think my 1800s and 1900 ones are probably safe but I’ll stick to those.

A character named Jesse Rhys from one of my friends’ books

I helped name him lol. I’d forgotten about it though. I gave her a list of names because she was stuck, and she made the combo out of it

I know someone with littles names Everl3igh Bl@ke and W3lls M@tthew. She’s just announced she’s expecting baby #3 (b) so I’m already guessing potentials for her new bundle.

[name_f]My[/name_f] initial thoughts:

[name_u]Archer[/name_u]
Beckett/Bennett
[name_m]Bryson[/name_m] (dad is Bry@n)
[name_u]Cade[/name_u]
[name_u]Grey[/name_u]
[name_u]Wilder[/name_u]

Excited to see what they pick! I think they typically wait until birth so to be announced…

[lumosmaxima]

In another 1975 game show (different show this time — @regionlatbest), a contestant was asked about his name choices for his upcoming baby. He chose [name_f]Gina[/name_f] if it were a girl, and [name_u]Orion[/name_u] if it were a boy!

Twins named [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] and [name_u]Baker[/name_u]
Those names go really well together and it makes me happy

I thought a mother was calling for her little girl “Chloe”, but when I heard it again I realised it was actually “Floey” she was calling for. After a few more times, her mother got a little annoyed and called for “Florence!”
