Baby Names

I can't believe I found this site after all these years!  Someone showed it to me about 5 years ago and every time I've googled I could never find it.  But it has stayed with me all these years.  And I was referencing it just now.  I said it was pointless searching having had my hopes dashed so many times before.  But I tried one last time and  boom - first on the list.  It's called www.babynamewizard.com and it shows in dynamic form the popularity of names over the decades.  It's just a really cool way to graphically present the data.  Fun to play around with and test names.  Not that I have babies on the brain just now, having spent the weekend with a bunch (and appreciating the freedom from schedule a childless life offers), but I think I have a new favorite for a girls name: Alice.  For the boys, I always lean towards the Oscars and Felix types.  Time will tell what the final choice is...

Alice is a good one, and one of Natalie's faves. Wanna know why? Because it rhymes with "palace." Alice lives in a palace. :)
