Four Syllable Names

I am a lover of long names mainly because they have nicknames. Growing up without a nickname has made me want to give my children names that have the opportunity for nicknames. Here is a nice list of 4 syllable names with their possible nicknames.

My Thoughts:

• I have heard of the name Mortimer before but didn't pay it any mind until now. My eyes were opened to it while I was searching for more names on Nymbler. As soon as I said it I was in love. I think it sounds so different. This name could be really dark and mysterious. Using the nickname Morty is so cute too. 

Honoring Sarah Elaine

A week ago I lost my grandmother. She was an amazing and strong woman and I am so proud to call her my grandmother. In honor of her and for future reference down the road, I am making a list of names that can honor her. Really they can honor anyone named Sarah or Elaine.

My grandmother's name was Sarah Elaine and they called her Sally. Here are some ways you could honor a Sarah or Elaine in a few different ways.

My Thoughts:

• So in the past few days I have been thinking about the name Collins for a girl. I believe I started to think about it after watching Gossip Girl and hearing the boys name Collin. Collins is very boyish and modern. If you were to use the name Collins I would recommend a girly middle name. My favorite nickname is Collie. 

Long Time, No Post

I know it's been months since I have posted on the blog. I started college in August and was learning how to balance school, family, friends, outside activities, along with gaining new responsibilities and a new environment. All in all my life changed dramatically and I wasn't able to keep up with this blog.

Besides being busy, I also lost a love for baby names. I never thought I would say that but its true. I still like baby names but now I just don't love them. Before I was always thinking about baby names and now I just think about them once in a while.

With the semester coming to an end and having more time on my hands, I have been thinking about this blog a lot. I know that I would never be able to post daily like I use to but I would like to start posting more (which at this point would be posting at all!). I still don't have a strong love for baby names but I want to get back into the blogging.

I hope this is the first post of many more in the future. If I can post once a week I would be extremely happy. Now I am not making any promises. All I am saying is I hope to get back into the swing of things.

Be on the lookout for more post about names!
