I was looking around online for ridiculous baby names and I ran into a list of names from 1998 in NYC that a lady put together. Here are some of the eyebrow raisers: ( Read more... )

I was thinking about a name I have long loved but am not sure I'm brave enough to use. In college, I had a professor who'd spent many years in India as a missionary. She was a freakin awesome lady! Having learned much about the Indian culture, she fell in love with a name and gave it to her oldest daughter. The name is Mitanjeli (prn. mih-TAN-juh-lee). In Hindi, it means "Sweet handful of blessing from the Lord." At the time I had this professor, her daughter was only about 8 or so years old and her mom figured that when she was older, she would probably go by Anji for short. The daughter is now a teenager, and I've just found out she goes by Mitzi. I'm not a big fan of Mitzi, but I LOVE Mitanjeli. I think it rolls off the tongue absolutely beautifully. I think it's gorgeous, and couldn't rave about it enough... but what do you guys think of the name Mitanjeli? The nicknames Mitzi and Anji?

I have loved the name Ginger since i was 3years old due to my best friend at the time (well only friend hehe) Anyways I have stillloved it to this day and really want to use it. When i say the name i think of Ginger Rogers... but most people seem to think of a stirpper or something, which saddens me greatly...
maybe i'll use it for a middle name...
what do you think???

Earlier today I was reading a magazine which had a pic of Mayim Bialik (from the show Blossom).
I asked my boyfriend how do you pronounce Mayim.
"MY-eem" he said.
I said "Wow, I can't decide if I really love that name or if can't stand it cos it's too much."
I've said it to myself so many times that it as lost all meaning.
I think I may be falling in like with it, but I just can't tell yet.

So what do you think of Mayim?

(BTW Mayim means "water" in Hebrew)
