bring May flowers!' So what other way to subtly connect your little
girl to the month of he birth than with a flower name!

Happy Mother's Day!

Welcome to Dramatic Names! Today I was inspired to create this blog because I thought I love names! I think also that I have interesting opinions on names from the point of view of a name lover, a young adult, and a person. I know you're thinking a person? Well, everyone judges a name whether they like to admit it or not so as a normal person if I put my opinon of a name somewhere then there is most likely going to be someone else who agrees with me.

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!
