Happy Mother's Day!
Today is Mother's day and what else do people think about with a mother than their children. A large part of becoming a mother is naming the child because not only are you naming your baby, you are also naming a toddler, an elementary school student, a high school senior applying for college, a college graduate applying for their first job and eventually someone who will be naming their first child.
I hope that this blog will help someone to find their child's name or at least maybe find a dramatic or unique name that will spark some interest!
