Hi everyone, I have noticed that I have been loosing a few members the last few weeks. I don’t know who they are or why they left, it doesn’t matter, but, it reminded to make this little announcement. If there are any critiques, comments, improvements, or changes you would like to see made on my blog, don’t hesitate to shoot me an e-mail: cavylovershay@yahoo.com or if you see this post within the next few weeks, just leave a comment. Same goes for name suggestions too. There are billions of names out there, and I can’t always keep track of all of them, in order to keep myself in line, I give myself a theme to follow, right now I am following a Summer theme or just writing about names from several national calenders, but if there is any name on your mind that I have missed or if you have any name suggestions, I would be happy to hear about them. Keep in mind that I can only write about legitimate names, not made up names or masculine names used on girls. I have to follow a certain criteria. That is what makes my blog seperate from others. I will let you know if I will post about your name suggestions, and if I disqualify them, I will gently give you a reason why I cannot include them in my database. Now, you may notice that I have a tendency to write about some weird and unusual names. I know I may not have a lot of names listed from the Top 100, but if you haven’t seen Grace, Mary or Leah, don’t despair, I will include them eventually, its just that when I see an unusual legitimate name I like to research it and post about it as soon as possible so I won’t forget it. I know I could always use a notebook, but I have tried that before only to lose them in a pile of endless books.
Hi! I've been a regular reader for a couple of months or so now. I'm a terrible commenter though, sorry!
I just wanted to say that I can't think of anything you could improve on. I love your posts because of their uniqueness; it's wonderfully refreshing to see names that are not common in my country. 🙂
As for a name suggestion, how about Tallulah? It's my all-time favourite name for a girl.
I don't think you need to change anything. I love reading your blog entries. I think the themes you pick are great. I especially like that you post about names I've never heard of! I'd say keep going 🙂
Thanks gals! Samantha, I will get back to you on Tallulah 🙂
Hi there! I agree with those who say don't change anything. I really enjoy your name picks and LOVE that you emphasize unusual names over more common choices.
I'd simply love it if you could find out information about the name Isa—I've read that it's Teutonic for "strong willed" (says Nameberry, anyway) but would like to confirm that. 🙂
Usually, Isa is a diminutive form of Isabella. I could look up and see if Isa by itself has some other etymology.
I love reading all of your posts! Although many of the names are a bit extreme to my tastes, it's always nice to read ^^
I'm also very humoured by the Scandinavian names, being from Norway. It's always fascinating to hear insight on names I've heard since I was little, which sound so exotic to people from other nations ^^
If you need names to look into, I can give you a fair few from my Norwegian name books that might translate easily to English and the likes… The two I'm most eager to see people's thoughts on are Taran (female, variant of Torunn, she who loves Thor) and Ovidia (not Norwegian, but only really in use here as far as I know. Feminine form of Ovid meaning sheep, I think? not sure about that…) Taran is also a Welsh/Gaelic/Irish? (I never know which is which and how important the difference is) male name, also derived from Thor (or Taranis) so it's a naturally unisex name, however rare that is ^^
Keep up the good work!
I forgot to add: the reason I want to see people's thoughts on Ovidia is because I think it would make a unique alternative to Olivia… It's like a mix of Olivia and Lydia ^^
Thanks Dearest! I would really appreciate the help. I have been planning to write about such Norwegian beauties as Gry, Veslemoy and Ovidia in the future. I quite like Ovidia! I agree that it would make an awesome and appealing choice for English speaking parents looking for a fresher alterntive to Olivia. Since I went to a school with a very large Scandinavian-American population, I knew quite a few Linneas, Ingrids, and Gretas. One girl was named Taryn. I thought her name was odd as her elder brothers had traditional Scandinavian names Anders & Bjorn. One day, we were talking about names. I said it was interesting that both her brothers had Scandinavian names while she did not. She corrected me. She told me that her name was Norwegian and meant moon rock. Then I found out that her name was spelled Tarann and not Taryn. I was interested in finding more info on her name and found that it doesn't mean moon rock but its just a feminine form of Thor. She pronounced it like Taryn, but I knew its pronunciation in Norwegian is slightly different. She herself was %100 Swedish from Minnesota. Needless to say, my major in college was Scandinavian Studies, but we tended focus more on Sweden than on Norway.
I love your blog, don't change anything.
Two names I would love to see featured are Lucebe and Korbinium (saw that one in a Births-post of yours and can't get it out of my head
Oh yes. I would love to do some research on Korbinium. It looks Latin. Lucebe, I completely forgot about her, but I'm gonna had her to the "Reminders" list :).
I love your posts! Don't change anything. I'm getting so many good names from this! I'm horrible at commenting and logging into this thing, but I will totally start more now that school's started.
xx
Thanks Megmerelda!
