The first babies of the new year should be entering third trimester by now, and I'm procrastinating, so....

I propose Lionel should be resurrected.

Cardi will increase in popularity but should not. I will make an exception for twins IF the other one is called Sweater.

Hummus would be a great name. It implies depth and seriousness of thought and reminds me to put pita bread on the shopping list.

never mind Chester and Buxton and all those place names as first names ...I think Worcester would be a great name, perhaps Worcestershire for a girl.

whilst on the food theme... Donut .......could be an option for the cutesy types who were contemplating horrors like Buddy, Brick, and Apple. Nutella must be outlawed as a potential name.

On to plant names: Nettle. Good powerful name there. Dandelion.

Some idiot will call their poor child Calibri. Garamond might be acceptable, I suppose


Saturn, Thalamus, Whisker, Antimony, Cochlea all contenders for new names
Ursula, Mabel, Agnes, Roscoe, Gilbert to round out the comeback category.
