Alphabet Family


Claudia Schiffer has two children, Caspar and Clementine. She has used two "C" names. I'm wondering if will she follow this trend and have a third 'C' named child? This led me to think if I had to choose a letter what would it be? I started thinking about A.

Araminta, Arthur, August, Aurora, Aurelia, Atticus

Maybe I would follow Claudia's trend and use my own first letter "L".
Lucasta, Lyra, Leif, Lucas, Louella.

Its a really fun trend to try out, because there are so many names I love with the same letter.

"M" Maizie, Milla, Matilda, Miles.

I think my favourite currently though would be 'H'
Hester, Harriet (so that's Hettie and Hattie), Henry also, and maybe a Hazel.

If you had to choose a letter what would it be?

For Claudia Schiffer I'm hoping if its a boy she chooses Caspian, or maybe Cassius. And for a girl Claribel, Charlotte, Cordelia or maybe even Caitria. We shall just have to wait and see!

Update: 12th Feb

I just thought of another Alphabet family though fictional, Charmed, the Halliwell sisters.
Prudence "Prue", Piper, Phoebe and Paige.
Their mother was Patricia "Patty" and grandmother Penelope "Penny".

Girls Names of the Roaring 20's!


You know how you keep seeing flapper dresses in the shops now? Well they're coming back! And guess what. Baby Names from the 20s are too. They have been for a while and will undoubtely keep coming back.
Need Proof?

Olive is back in the top 1000. Julia Roberts named her starbaby Hazel and SJP just had Marion Loretta. And speaking of starbabies lets not forget about the growing popularity of Violet. Rose has become a staple middle name next to Grace who has also hit the popularity stakes for first names. Lillian and Evelyn are now American favourites with their fellow top 100 members Audrey and Charlotte. And Ruby is close on their tails sitting just outside the top 100.

All of these names are 1920's favourites.

Though you may be a little too late to use these if your are looking to stand out of the crowd we have plenty of other 20s favourites for you to choose from that are equally dazzling and are destined for a comeback. As a sucker for vintage names (I did name my son Edward) Ithem (just perhaps not Fannie, Dorcas or Fairy). My faves are the red.
