I just read through this article on Yahoo! about the recent trend in baby naming. Pretty interesting...

About this Blog
After battling infertility and loss for four years, my husband and I were matched with a beautiful baby boy born 1/2 a world away.
Desmond was born in December of 2011 across the ocean; and we are eagerly awaiting the day we hear we can travel to his beautiful birth country to bring him home for good. In March of 2013, we lost my mother after a long battle with Philadelphia positive, adult, acute lympoblastic leukemia. She was cancer-free, but her new immune system could not fight the infections she contracted. It was a terrible blow to my entire family; and I am heart-broken that my son will never know her here on this earth. Even in the midst of pain and suffering, God continues to bless us and guide us on our journey to parenthood; and we can't wait to see how He will continue to open doors for us and blow our minds with his far-reaching and unfailing LOVE - it is furious! Visit our adoption website www.lovesplosion.com to order our "LOVE WINS" t-shirts or donate to help us bring our precious wee one HOME! We are so grateful for all of those who can bless us in this way; so, THANK YOU! Thanks for stopping by; your prayers and support are so very appreciated!
Love and Many Blessings, *mandie*   Subscribe To

I saw this! Very interesting. I also read an article a while back about how overly "ethnic" names are being used less by minorities. Apparently they experience a huge problem with job searches when they have names that suggest they are muslim, african-american, asian, etc. People judge by the name and assume a lot about the applicant before they interview. Pretty sad but I suppose we are all guilty of judging someone by their name- even if it's because we really like their name. I had two different roommates in college assume I was black before they even met me- just because of my name!!
ReplyDeleteTHIS is part of the reason why we're 38 weeks pregnant and have yet to name our baby- it's a HUGE decision!
Oh gosh, I know! And what do we do about naming our child who will be ethnically Ethiopian, American by citizenship and culture, and Irish by way of his/her adoptive parents? It's mind-boggling sometimes. We want to choose a name we love, but we don't want to dishonor our child's past either. At times it seems like a total mess, but we'll have to make a decision sooner or later, right? :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you and Steven on deciding on Peanut's name (maybe you could just stick with "Peanut"? Haha!). I'm sure whatever you decide, it will end up being perfect for your wee one!
