According to rumor, J. Lo's mom was seen purchasing ID bracelets for the upcoming twins of her daughter and son-in-law Marc Anthony. The names on said bracelets? Max and Emme. But as rumor runs rampant...it could still be any name's day.

I know I've been MIA for quite some time, but I have two pretty good excuses.

One, my husband had an accident with the car. Long story short: bad concussion, seven staples, bed rest for about a week, massive painkillers.

Reason number two: my kids got a head cold, and so did I. Their cold lasted about three days...mine turned into pneumonia. I'm still wrestling with it, but I am getting better.

Anyhoo, I hope to be around more in the coming weeks. For those who celebrated a holiday yesterday, I hope it was a good one.



Ciao,

Round Up!Baby Names in the News, 08/07:


Behind Bars, baby bonanza and bad bodies

"Burning question: Why do celebrities give their kids weird names like Heaven and Apple? Linda Rosenkrantz Finch, co-author of 'The Baby Name Bible,' tells Us, 'Celebrities crave being the center of attention and want their offspring to hare in this uniqueness.'"

Top 50 Crazy Celebrity Baby Names

"Crazy baby names given by celebrities are nothing new, but the Times of London has compiled a list of the Top 500 Craziest Celebrity Baby Names. Some of these sound like they?d be more likely as AKC registered show dog names, while some don?t sound so weird in the context of the others."

Baby Names: Surviving Pregnancy

"If certain people have an aversion to a name that is high on your list, stick to your guns! Once people get to know your baby and form an affectionate bond, you will find that they quickly forget any negative connotation they may have had with the name, and come to love the baby, name and all!"

Dear Zen Angel,


These are actual names of people in my graduating class. They certainly
aren't babies, but some of these names are pretty strange.

Maricatherine Elizabeth Eggenberger (full name, a mouthful if I've ever
heard one!)
Serene Azure
Chrystien Sequentia Lee (Cre8ive Spelling anyone?)
Precious Latrese
Marisa
Lei-Lana
Quennton Marc
Wendell (This person always went by his middle name John)
Justin Bailey (In-joke related to video gaming...)

I love your site; I get a big kick out of it!
Regards,
Emily F. K. in Michigan

For a longer explanation, please see my blog The Zen Pretzel Trick.

Thank you.

Among Latinos, Maria ranks as the number one baby girl name, with Jose as the number one baby boy name."

I'm waaaaaay behind, thanks to my recent illness, so I am giving you a whole slew of animal baby names in one post. Enjoy!


BABY DOLPHINS NAMED!


After months of waiting and more than 500 hundred name suggestions from Bahamian students across the country, officials from Dolphine Encounters on Big Lagoon Island finally announced the dolphins? names.

Dorothy Mae Eldmire of Kingsway Academy chose the name "Gussie Mae" and Nathalia Durham of Doris Johnson High School and Marissa Maura of the Lyford Cay School both won for choosing "Laguna." The students who chose the names received plaques, pictures of the baby dolphin they named and a Dolphin Adventure program for their entire class and their teacher.

The two baby dolphins bring the total number of dolphins over on Blue Lagoon Island to 19. Gussie Mae was born in early September to mother Chippy, and Laguna was born to Dot in October. The third calf was born in September to Nina and was named Cacique by the staff.

I have not forgotten this blog...unfortunately, I recently fell and broke three ribs. Sitting at the computer is very painful, so I am keeping it at a minimum.

I do hope to be up and blogging again here within the next few weeks...and I am working on the poll for last year's Worst Baby Names.

Thanks to everyone for their kindness, understanding and patience in this matter.
