Answer the questions 

Tag three friends to do the same

Hello, all! 

 Yes, I've been absent for quite a while, after I assured you updates were coming.... But it's July, ya'll, one of the busiest months of the summer!

 I will be trying to get an Independence Day post up at some point. Please be patient with me. 

 Oh, and speaking of which, I hope you all had a wonderful July 4th!

Felicity tagged me for this, which I'm actually excited about, since baby names are my biggest 'daydream subject' next to my wedding and kitchen. (yes, kitchen. It's the most important part of the house) 

 I've been writing up names since I was old enough to write (anything to be like 'Sissy') but the list has changed considerably through the years. 

 Now! Onward:

1. What are your favorite boy & girl name from the top 100 of the year?

Okay, so this was really hard..... 

 I LOVE a lot of boy names, so it was difficult to pick. A lot of names trending this year are old-fashioned, Western sounding names, so I was pretty pleased by a lot of them. One I found was so cute I had to share, even if I am hesitant to say whether or not I would name by boy this: Lincoln. 

 Anybody who knows me would agree I'm a Lincoln fanatic, so.....

Boy: After a long and painful process, I chose three.

Henry, number #18 on the list , James, number #16 and I actually kinda like Harrison #26

Girl: Hah. This was a lot easier

Evelyn, #27 and Maria #81
 I've always loved the name Maria. But I've always been a romantic when it comes to Spanish names 

2. What are your least favorite boys and girls name from the top 100 of the year?

Boy: Albie #58 

Girl: Zoe #97 (I've just never liked these modern-sounding Z names)

3. If you had twins, what would you name them?

Boy-Boy: Clark and David (I dunno why, They sound nice together?)

Girl-Boy: Beulah and Benjamin 

Girl-Girl: Lana and Loretta 

4. If you could change your name to anything, what would you change it to?

I love my name, but I guess if I had to change it, I'd do something elegant and old-fashioned like Eleanor

5. If you had four children, any sex, all with the same letter, what would their names be?

Boy: Laramie  

Boy: Logan 

Girl: Lydia

Girl: Lynette

6. What is your favorite animal inspired name?

Girl: Robin 

Boy: Hawk 

Guess I like birds?

7. What is your favorite color inspired name?

Boy: Slate 

Girl: Pearl

8. What are your top three favorite boys names? 

Ok, so I have a lot of boy names that I love. And narrowing them down to three is very, very tough. I literally love them all, except the ones I hate?

 (does that even make sense?)

Tyrel 

I've always, always loved this name, ever since I read one of my first Louis L'Amours, The Daybreakers but I'll never be able to use it, since I have a very close cousin with the same name..... Ugh 

So we'll name another one: 

Flint

Ahem, also a Louis L'Amour..... hehe. 

But I've been toying with the idea of using Flynn instead? Not sure

Nolan

 AGAIN, this is a Louis L'Amour name that I love, but it is also a family name. But, I think I may actually get away with using it, since my uncle has the same name, and he may be flattered. *wink*

Rafe 

I don't even know why I like this one, but I just recently accumulated a love for it. lol 

9. What are your top three favorite girls names?

Beulah

I grew up watching So Dear to My Heart and Summer Magic. 

 The character of 'Granny' in So Dear to My Heart was played by an actress named Beulah Bondi and as a child, I thought she was amazing.

 In Summer Magic the family moves to a town called 'Beulah'. 

It just seemed like such a romantic name, and I still love it. 

Abilene

 This is Hebrew, meaning 'Land of Meadows' <3

Mary Lou

 I wish people would stop thinking of pizza when I say this name. I think it's adorable.

10. What is your favorite month inspired name?

I can't think of any boy name besides August.... 

Girl: April

11. Choose a name from a movie.

Boy: Heath from 'The Big Valley'

Girl: Olivia from 'The Waltons' 

12. Choose a name that is already in your family.

Jeremy

 Uncle

 first cousin-once-removed 

Violet 

cousin 

 13. Choose a name from a book.

Tucker from 'Tucker' by Louis L'Amour

Diana from 'Anne of Green Gables' by L.M. Montgomery 

And there you are!
