Classic - Fresh - Smush

What's Up Namers? It's been a bit.... We still LOVE naming! However you found your way here, THANK YOU for clicking and showing a little love. You just might be a "namer" like us.

In our first year of naming, one fun post challenge going around that we participated in was Popular, Unique & Daring Baby Names. In that spirit we've compiled a collection we'd like to call "Classic, Fresh - Smush." In this list we've paired a classic baby name with a rising, newer to us name and then tried to mix the two into a "smush" - putting parts of the two names together, creating something new(ish).

Since the 2019 data came out while this post was just a draft, we decided to use a few of the fastest rising names on both the boy's and girl's lists in the "fresh" category.

Classic ~ Fresh ~ Smush

Anna ~ Navy ~ Navanna

Thomas ~ Amias ~ Rhomias

Benjamin ~ Archie ~ Archin

Sophia ~ Salem ~ Saphia

Elijah ~ Baker ~ Bajah

James ~ Jensen ~ Jamin

Elenor ~ Avalon ~ Avanora

Mary ~ Meritt ~ Metry

Susan ~ Serena ~ Sersa

John ~ Jax ~ Axon

William ~ Wilder ~ Widiam

Oliver ~ Onyx ~ Olix

Jennifer ~ Juliette ~ Jenniette

Jack ~ Trexton ~ Jaxten

Alice ~ Anora ~ Alira

Joseph ~ Levi ~ Jovian

WDYT? Tell us. What is your favorite SMUSH?

Are any of them useable?

Name Watch 2020: Names for Boys that End with -s

Boy's names that end in the letter "s" are everywhere! At least it seems that way. Of course with James being perhaps the most popular boy's name of all time, you'd think that -s enders would be all over the charts. Not exactly. There's Lucas of course, coming in at #8 in 2018, but then you have to go all the way to #49 and classic Thomas before you see another boy's name that ends in -s. So why then, does it feel like we are seeing them everywhere? We are seeing these -s ending names trend into a few categories. Nature Names An earthy vibe is something we've long seen in naming, yet don't tend to find in the Top 100. Last year we predicted that we'd see some on the rise, yet these boho names still don't top the charts. Perhaps these -s ending nature names will move on up this year.

Names YOU Love - Fan Favorites of 2021

We thought it would be cool to share with you YOUR favorite names of 2021. We did a similar post in 2019 and it is rewarding to reflect on the changing trends and look at the new data and analytics. In this collection we will share with you the videos, pins, tweets and posts that YOU'VE enjoyed the most this year. We can't seem to agree on which social platform is our favorite. We started out with the intention of building a Youtube channel. After watching and laughing hysterically as gals shared, "names I love but..." we thought, we could DO this . But we didn't want to be in our videos. Now that we've been at it for a while, we realize that was likely a big mistake, and maybe someday we face reveal and start talking names....maybe. But we are okay with the fun we are having now as totally self-proclaimed "Baby Name Specialists." We love creating simple tweets and name art to post on instagram. The occasional blog idea comes to one of us, but ev
