A Blog about Baby Names

Welcome to Nameisms!

I seem to have an obsession with names. I used to sit around making lists of names I loved, pouring through name books for fun. It's partly a love of language and partly an interest in identity and pop culture. Mostly I just have fun and want to pass on inspiration and ideas. And that is how Nameisms got started.

There are a few different type of posts on Nameisms. I often write about a single girls' or boys' name, including lots of details like the name's history, popularity, meaning, and celebrities or famous people with the name. I also love to create name lists in a variety of categories, like Western Baby Names, Nature Names, or Fashion Designer Names, for example. You'll also find a variety of articles on the naming process too. A lot of research goes into each post.

Naming your baby can be a tough decision. Choosing a good name is important, but the decision process is something you (and your partner) should enjoy. Parents want to choose a name that they love and feel connected to, and I want each post to help make that choice easier.

I love doing this because it's the kind of resource I would want to find if I were naming a child. Hopefully you will find it useful as well. Please have fun looking around, and feel free to email me at nameisms[at]gmail[dot]com with name suggestions or anything baby-name related!
