Why are there FAR more females posting to naming forums? Both the name hobbyists and the actually expecting parents tend to be girls/women around here. Every once in awhile a expecting father will post something, but it's rare.

Why aren't men interested in names?

Heh. I don't like to actually give them out, I'm afraid, but you're welcome to try working them out. They both have associations with angels; the less common one is from the Apocrypha (which is why my husband didn't know it, incidentally). Both have been used in English for centuries, but the less common one was more popular 3-400 years ago than today.

haha! That just made my curiosity stronger! I don't really understand your concern for saying them, but I'll respect that. There's no way I could figure it out though!
