Some readers have been bugging me about a new post (it’s only been two days people!!), so I feel obliged to put something up here. Here are a few randoms that have caught my eye today:

Are your kids names popular? Are you glad they’re not? Wish they were? Ever get rude comments about your kid’s name? Let it loose in the comments.
And finally, since it’s Mother’s Day weekend, this one is a shout-out to all the moms who work so hard all year long and truthfully, we need a f’n Mother’s MONTH for all that we do. Here’s a little something for you:
Yes, a mother’s work is never done, right? Let me know what you have planned for Mother’s Day! Or come back Monday and share the details!
Yay for Emma being in the top 10 girl names =). My mom’s name was Emma and I have made the decision to go ahead and rename Miss J to Miss E, lol. Its not official yet, but it will be. Everyone seems to like Miss J’s name, and its not that I don’t like it, she was just suppose to be an Emma and I am determined to right my wrong.
Happy Mother’s Day Tara!!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers.
I’m not a mom (yet) but I love the name Ava (or Eva) but probably won’t use it because one of my best friends from law school named her daughter Ava. I also have a friend who used Emma as a middle name also very pretty. My favorite girls names are Camille, Ella and Grace. Still considering boy names but will come up with plenty by the time that time comes.
I have to say I like Ava. In honor of Mother’s Day, come on over to A Woman’$ Worth (www.awomans-worth.blogspot.com) and share the best financial advice your mama ever gave you!
No rude comments. My firstborn has (what I think is a beautiful name)unique name: Nayana (Ny-ahn-ah) which is Sanskrit and means “one with beautiful eyes”. No problems except that people think her name is Diana. lol. Other baby is Maya. Problem is, the name became popular (not what I was aiming for, but it was the only name dad and I agreed on). Still, it suits the little lady. I have a very popular name for my age group, and always had a bunch of girls in my class with the same name, so it isn’t what I would want for my child.
@Kaye – I think your kids’ name are beautiful. My daughter’s name is Ayanna, which means “a beautiful flower.” My son, well he has his dad’s name (Thomas) so it’s very common. In the top 20 I think…
