NEW! Basque & Welsh Baby Names
BABY NAMES
We've just added two new baby name categories, Basque and Welsh. Basque is the lineal language of the Basque people from the Basque Country, a region that spans an area in northeastern Spain and southwestern France. It is spoken by little over 25% of Basques in all territories. Welsh is one of the original Celtic languages and spoken mainly in the country of Wales, which is part of the United Kingdom. Only about 20% of the population speak the Welsh language.

Daisy! Not just a summer time flower.
BABY NAMES
 I was in my garden clearing out the weeds and noticed how my daisies keep coming back year after year without any effort from me. Daisies are an annual flower, but will reseed on their own ensuring many years of sunshine that is planted in your very own yard. I think daisies are the most cheerful flower, and nothing screams summer like a bunch of fresh picked Daisies. You can't help feeling a smile starting to creep onto your face and feeling just a little happier when you see a bouquet.

Baby Names for the Summer Time Heat
BABY NAMES
 Ah, Summer, It's finally here! Heat, humidity and the late afternoon pop-up shower that always interferes with the kids activities. You guessed it. I'm not a big fan of summer, Autumn is more my thing, but I have to admit that after the brutal winter that the northeast had, it's definitely welcome. There are a few things that I like, mostly the smell of suntan lotion. Every time I get a whiff of it, I am automatically thinking ocean, sand, and waves. My family is of Irish decent, so we are fair completed, red hair and freckles. I don't get a tan, I just burn, BAD!!! Definitely no beach vacations for this family.
Top 10 bad boy names in the USA.
BABY NAMES
 Boys growing up with popular names such as Michael, Joshua and Christopher have a good chance of leading law-abiding lives - but those named Kareem, Walter or Ivan could find themselves on the wrong side of the law. That's according to a United States study that claims the more unpopular, uncommon or feminine a boy's first name, the greater the chance he will end up behind bars. What's your theory behind why this is?

Does your name shape your destiny?
BABY NAMES
We were sent this article from one of our visitors, and thought we would post it.
Wes Moore appeared in his hometown newspaper, The Baltimore Sun, 10 years ago because of his impressive academic achievements. Around the same time, he noticed a story in the paper about a jewelry store robbery in which a police officer and a father of five was killed.
He learned one of the convicted killers shared his name.
While Wes Moore the Rhodes Scholar would become a combat veteran in Afghanistan and a White House fellow, Wes Moore the convicted felon was sentenced to life in prison. Their correspondence through letters and prison visits led to the release of the book "The Other Wes Moore" this spring.
"The name was the first thing that drove me," said Moore, 31, on what inspired him to befriend the inmate.
Other people may have wondered who also lays claim to their name. Google a relatively common name such as "Steve Jones," and a biologist, musician and golfer appear. And Steve is not even among the Top 10 boys' names of the last century.
