Best Names for the New Decade: Judas, Admiral, and Genghis - Huffington Post (blog)

Posted: 17 Jan 2010 04:15 PM PST

Baby names move in a trajectory. They start as quirky and then move upscale. But they retain their cachet for only a short period until the hoi polloi in a futile attempt to confer status on their offspring quickly destroy the social value of the name.

Consider the name "Jessica." It was used by hippies in the 60s and was not in the top 200 names. It began moving upscale in the early 70s ranking #59 for the decade. Its status declined as its popularity increased (#1 in the 80s, #2 in the 90s). Today it is washed up even in Arkansas, Iowa, and Tennessee. The best years to have named your daughter Jessica were 1973 to 1977.

As a service to its valued readers, I will reveal the best names for the new decade--those that are just now moving from quirky to upscale. We begin today with boys' names.

Biblical Names

Avoid overused biblical names--Joshua, Isaiah, Jacob, Aaron, Josiah, Isaac, etc. These will embarrass your son for life. Instead, select one of the less common biblical names that are just starting to appear, for example Judas, Cain, Nebuchadnezzar, Goliath, Herod, and Pontius.

Name for Success

You can help your son succeed by selecting a name that connotes professional achievement. Five excellent choices are Doctor, Admiral, Senator, Justice, and Chairman. Don not handicap your son's career with names such as Nightwatchman, Doorman, Chauffer, Valet, or, worst of all, Lawyer.

Names for Social Class

Certain first names hint of wealth and breeding. For 2010, Flip Side suggests five upper class first names: Marquis, Baron, Lord, Sir, and Count. Beware of names that connote low social standing: Bozo, Mephisto, Charlatan, Deadbeat, and worst of all, Lawyer.

Upper class British names are pretentious and should be Americanized. Instead of Neville, Percival or Nigel, try LaNeville N'Percival and DeNigel

Comeback Names

We like names that have been neglected. Five to catch on the upswing before they become too popular are Adolph, Mao, Benito, Genghis, and Papa Doc.
Some neglected names should remain neglected. Stay away from Schmuck, Felon, Geek, Drip, and Mucus.

Family Names

Nothing suggests old money better than a family name as a surname such as Alcott, Bennett, Brighton, Weston, and Kingsley. However these should be used only if your last name could also be a surname. Alcott Bennett and Bennett Alcott are smashing as are Brighton Weston and Weston Brighton. However, Brighton Levy, Brighton Giordano, and Brighton Kaminski are lame.

Christina Milian shows off baby bump - Bounty

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 03:11 AM PST

US R&B star Christina Milian will soon thinking about baby names, with pictures of the singer showing her heavily pregnant on a day out in Hollywood.

The star, who is 28, is eight months pregnant and proudly displayed her large baby bump when out and about in Los Angeles last week. Christina is married to music producer The Dream, 31, and the baby will be the first child for the pair.

Her pregnancy was revealed in October last year and followed the couple's wedding four weeks earlier at a last-minute ceremony in a chapel in Las Vegas.

The couple have already revealed that the baby is a girl.

Pictures of Christina show her dressed down in black leggings and a purple fitted top to skim her bump. She wore flat fringed black boots, possibly to give her aching legs a break.

Expectant mums suffering from painful legs could find that sleeping with them propped on a pillow helps, and they should also ensure they take regular breaks to sit down.

Names for a new era - St. Joseph News-Press

Posted: 16 Jan 2010 10:12 PM PST

Strange names don't phase Iola Riggs.

The director of Thank Heaven Child Care, which is located in Eastside Baptist Church in St. Joseph and takes in children 6 weeks to 5 years old, currently has a Deziayna and a Zariaya in her care, as well as a Kaitynz, a Jadalynn, a Jobie and a Baele.

With names like these filling day-care rosters, it's hard to say what the next batch of baby names might bring. But experts in name trends are giving it their best guess, speculating what we'll see in 2010 and beyond:

ANTIQUE REVIVALS

For several years, some of the hottest "new" names are the ones that sound the oldest — and Laura Wattenberg, author of "The Baby Name Wizard," doesn't see this trend fading anytime soon. Currently, Hannahs and Sophias, Calebs and Elijahs abound, and Ms. Wattenberg offers some suggestions that are a fresh take on the trend. Among them are Rafaela and Beatrice, Matthias and Benedict.

Names inspired by surnames

This trend saw a heyday in the 1900s, generating boys' names such as Ellsworth, Palmer and Jennings, Ms. Wattenberg says. But a movement that's gaining in popularity is the use of surnames for girls — especially long, masculine-sounding surnames that shorten to familiar girlish nicknames. Ms. Wattenberg notes that Emerson (Emmy), Cassidy (Cassie) and Addison (Addie) are all rising in popularity and suggests some less-common options, including Sheridan, Ellery, Connolly and Kimball.

Virtue names

Perhaps spurred by a rash of headline-generating scandals, naming children after virtues looks to be a trend that will rise in 2010, according to Lesley Bolton, author of "The Complete Book of Baby Names." Grace, Faith and Hope already are fairly common, and you might start meeting little ones with names like Honor, Justice and Amity.

Celebrity- and pop-culture inspired names

Thanks to the

"Twilight" franchise, 2010 will no doubt see the birth of many Bellas and Edwards, Ms. Bolton predicts. Along the same vein of vampire frenzy, Alice, Rosalie and Renee, Jasper, Aro and Demetri might also see a rise in popularity. And so, thanks to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, might Jeret, Tanith, Tucker, Shani and Apolo. Ms. Bolton also foresees an increase in the number of little girls named Sasha and Malia, after President Barack Obama's daughters.

Made-up names/nontraditionalspellings

This is another trend that seems to be on the rise, Ms. Wattenberg says, and that in recent years has especially been dominated by names with vigorous starts, long, bright vowels and smooth endings — like Kayden and Kailey, Jalen and Brayden. She notes that any name made by mixing and matching these sounds is likely to be a hit.

With all these possibilities, Thank Heaven Child Care and other day cares across the country likely won't run short on children with one-of-a-kind names.

"I guess I'm so used to getting weird names I just write them down and don't think much about it," Ms. Riggs laughs.
