Baby name consultant: Green bean #4 needs a name that fits with older sibs
August 31, 2015 sanctanomina Baby name consultant Baby name consultant, Biblical names, Catholic baby names, Green bean
Krystin and her husband are expecting their fourth baby, a little green bean. 🙂 She writes,
"[We] have a difficult time coming up with names we like because we have both worked with kids much of our lives and have run across many names that are either already used or have negative (to us) connotations, if you know what I mean! We both work in schools …"
Working with kids so often presents difficulty when baby naming! Their other kiddos are:
Luke Earl ("We always loved the name "Luke" due to the religious significance and his middle name is named after my husband and my husband's father")
Bennett Paul ("Love the meaning of Bennett ("little blessed one) and Paul is my dad's name")
Tessa Marie ("We always loved the name "Tessa" because of Mother Teresa and because it's just plain cute, and her middle name is the same as mine, my mom's name is Ann Marie, and we have several other Marys in the family")
And the names they "can semi-agree on" are:
Grant Matthew ("in total, the name means "great gift from God"")
Evangeline Rose ("with the nickname Lina because Earl does not like Evie, and Rose is my confirmation name")
Krystin's specific questions are:
"What do you think of those name choices? Do they flow with our other kids' names? I don't love that Grant doesn't have a built-in nickname (our kids don't have "real" nicknames, but I do find that we call them by Lukey, Benny, Tess, etc at times just for fun) – but not sure if that really matters. I love the name Evangeline but worry it is a mouthful and that people won't think that Lina works as a nickname. We both like that we don't know of anyone else with those names and that they can "grow" with the child without sounding too kid-ish … I would love to hear your thoughts on those names as well as to hear other ideas that you might have as well for both girl and boy names!!"
I love Krystin and her husband's name style!
First off, my thoughts about their current ideas are: Grant Matthew seems just perfect! I think it absolutely matches the feel of the other kids' names, nice job Mom and Dad! I do understand about it not having a natural nickname (as you all know, I'm a big nicknamer!), so I wondered what they'd think about Gray as a nick for it? Even though Grant and Gray are both one syllable, Gray seems just the tiniest bit easier to say, like you started to say Grant but didn't have to pull your tongue to the front of your mouth to finish it. So I could definitely see Gray seeming like a short version of Grant. I've seen Gray used as a nick for Graham, which is similar to Grant in sound/length. So Graham's a possibility? Also, I know a little Gabriel who mostly goes by Gabriel or Gabe, but ever since he was tiny his dad has also called him "G." Just G, like the letter, and it's so cute and affectionate and it could definitely work for Grant too.
Evangeline Rose nicked Lina is beautiful! I would say, if they love it, I would definitely go for it! And yes, I think Lina definitely works as a nickname for Evangeline, and I actually know another mama who's planning to name a daughter Evangeline with the nickname Lina. However, since Krystin said she "kind of like[s]" it rather than "totally adores it," I will offer that it strikes me as a little different in style than their other kids. Not totally! I could see it pairing really nicely with Luke, and it would be a pretty exact style match with Benedict, and Bennett is a medieval form of Benedict, so it's all definitely swirling around the same place. But the other kids' names are short-middle-ish in length, and Evangeline's one of those looonnngg names, like Seraphina or Alexandria or Genevieve, all of which are gorgeous — I love them, I do — but I was thinking, for this family, maybe just Lina would be a better fit? I know a Lina in real life who's just Lina, and Lena Horne's given name at birth was just Lena – it definitely feels to me more like a formal name that could also work as a nickname for a longer name, instead of a nickname-used-as-a-first-name (though, full disclosure, I do think that's how it started). Lina Rose? I think that's lovely, and it works so well as a sister to Tessa Marie (as well of course as a sister to the boys, but I like Lina Rose and Tessa Marie as sisters, they go together nicely!).
Also, Krystin mentioned that she and her hubs like that they don't know anyone with the names Evangeline/Lina and Grant … I do think it's important to be aware that Evangeline seems to be shooting up the Catholic baby name charts, as far as the names I hear being considered and used by all of you readers and the families that email me (they usually hope to use the nickname Evie). Both Lina and Grant fit that "not used by many parents" criteria, though – neither one is very familiar to me for babies these days, which is really cool that they've "discovered" them!
Krystin also asked for other ideas for boys and girls, which I was delighted to do. (I can always come up with suggestions! Haha!) 🙂 I always shoot for three for each gender, and I did so here for boys, but came up with four for girls:
(1) Molly
Luke, Bennett, and Tessa/ Lukey, Benny, and Tess all made me think of Molly. It's got that sweet, spunky feel that Tessa has to me, and I think it pairs really well with Luke and Bennett too. Molly Rose is one of those swoony names to me, so sweet! I also love that Molly is Marian (it started out ages ago as a nickname for Mary).
(2) Lily
You all know that I rely heavily on the Baby Name Wizard book as a starting point when doing consultations, as it lists, for each entry, boy and girl names that are similar in style/feel/popularity … Lily popped up as similar in style to Luke, Tessa, and Lina, and I think it's an awesome suggestion for this family. And Lily is Marian, which is always a big seller for me.
(3) Claire or Clara
This is another one that did quite well for this family in the BNW book, as it's similar to Luke, Bennett, and Lina. A one syllable name like Claire would please me aesthetically, because then they'd have two kids with one-syllable names and two kids with two-syllable names. (I know this matters zero! But it's how my crazy mind works. 😛 ) Clara's so sweet too though … it would be a hard choice for me!
(4) Juliet
Juliet is a total bonus here – three is my preferred number of suggestions, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have thought of Juliet for this family on my own, but the BNW says Juliet is similar to both Bennett and Grant, and I thought that was too much awesome to not suggest! Juliet's one of my personal favorites, so I'm actually really excited to tell you about it. Juliet Rose? Oh my!
(1) Samuel
I really like Samuel with Krystin's other kids, and especially Sam/Sammy. Sam and Ben are two of those nicknames that just really seem like brothers to me, and Luke and Tess totally fit into that too.
(2) Miles
Bennett, Tessa, and Grant are all style matches for Miles – ding ding ding! I never really gave two thoughts to Miles until I read that in Ireland it's used as the anglicized form of an Irish Gaelic name that means "devotee of Mary" — I just love that Marian connection for a boy! And I also read that, while linguists/name experts aren't totally sure of its origin, one theory is that it started as a nickname for Michael, and I think that is soooo cool! Miles is kind of similar to Grant, with no built-in nicknames, but I could see Milo very easily being a fun nick for it.
(3) Colin or Ian
These two just felt like they fit to me. They have that same literary and dashing feel that Bennett and Luke and Grant have to me, and they absolutely seem like brothers to Tessa as well.
Those are my ideas! What do you all think? What other names would you suggest for a little brother or sister to Luke, Bennett, and Tessa?

Baby showers and baptisms
August 31, 2015 sanctanomina Uncategorized
I'm reblogging this with fixed links and updates. 🙂
Does anyone else get a little freaked out at the thought of buying gifts? I do. I've never thought of myself as a good gift giver — I usually get paralyzed by feeling like I don't have any ideas, or that the ideas I do have are dumb. And gifts are the lowest on my Love Languages hierarchy, so I feel like I just don't have the right mindset for picking good gifts.
But! I've been working on that deficiency of mine for years, and I feel like I've come a long way. I've wanted to compile a list of gift ideas for expecting moms (for her baby shower, or just because) and baby's baptism for a while, because I feel like I finally have a good handle on appropriate gifts for these occasions, mostly because of people's generosity to me since I had my first little one.
I always…
August 29, 2015 August 31, 2015 sanctanomina Resources and recommendations
I always try to have a gift or two for the mamas in with the gift or two for the baby when I go to a baby shower, or when a friend's expecting, and I can't recommend highly enough the Mother's Manual. Do you have one of these? I've turned to it time and again for prayers that are so specific to so many situations! It was my constant companion during a particularly difficult time recently, and a source of immense comfort. I seriously wanted to run right out and buy a hundred of them and hand them out to all the moms I know. And though this isn't new-mom specific, I just finished My Sisters the Saints by Colleen Carroll Campbell, and I'm feeling like I want to give this to all the women I know as well. It discusses marriage and motherhood as well as lots of other things Catholic women of today struggle with. I loved it.
When my babies are brand new, I always feel like I'm in a state of constant near-panic that something will happen to them. Crazy, I know! But I seriously feel a reassuring sense of peace every time I see their Guardian Angel Crib Cross (pink and blue and white) hanging over their cradle. It just reminds me I'm not in it alone, you know?
My boys have always loved the Wooden Rosaries we have and my parents have from my growing up as well, and I love that they start to love the Rosary from their tenderest years through them. And I know I've said it before but I'll say it again — they also love Fr. Lovasik's Picture Book of Saints. It's hands-down my first recommendation if you go to a shower where they ask you to bring a book for the baby's library.
I've never given a Sophie the Giraffe before, but I will be from now on, now that I know it was named after St. Madeleine Sophie!
Finally, per her experience raising my sibs and I, my mom always gives us a blanket when our babies are born — a blanket intended to be *the* blankie/lovey — and it's always been this kind, which I've really enjoyed over the years not only because half of my boys have taken to their grandma-gifted blanket in the way intended, but also because Carter's seems to come out with a new design (usually based around an animal but not always) each year (which goes on its blankets, onesies, outfits, etc.), and it's gotten so that I'm intrigued with each baby to see what the new design is. I feel like I can trace my motherhood through a timeline of Carter's designs! (We have a horse; a blanket with "Baby" in bubble letters in the corner; a puppy with paw prints; a puppy with a bone; a monkey; and zoo animals.) I should also note that my mom always gives us *two* of the exact same blanket, so that one is always clean and ready in case the other needs to go in the wash. It's worked out so well for us that I've started doing the same for others.
I do say "half of my boys" though because the other half connected with something different, despite my best efforts (draping it on them when they were nursing, snuggling them with it, etc.) — one received a blanket similar to this from a friend of mine, which he has loved nearly threadbare. Another latched onto a stuffed lamb that looks a lot like this (though it didn't come with a blanket as this one does). And my last loves an exquisitely gorgeous homemade quilt that I wish I could link to for you but alas, my friend doesn't have a shop. But I will offer that this seems to be quite popular — we've received a couple, which I love — they're so beautiful and luxurious!
So those are the ideas I have for you tonight! I hope they're helpful! Happy weekend! (So many exclamation points!)
UPDATED TO ADD: How could I forget??!! Of course every expectant mama needs a name book (or two)!! I would absolutely recommend including the Baby Name Wizard book and perhaps The Catholic Baby Name Book or one of the many other books I list on my Resources and recommendations page in a baby shower gift, especially if the parents are expecting their first baby, or if you know that one or both of them love names, or if you know they're stumped for ideas (in which case you could also direct them here. 🙂 )

Nicknames: Ways to get to Sy/Cy
August 28, 2015 sanctanomina Nicknames Biblical names, Catholic baby names, Nicknames
I've been seeing the nickname Sy pop up here and there recently, which has reminded me that I know a boy nicknamed Cy, and it's kind of stuck with me — it's feeling really cool to me, and a nice way to manage a heavier or very long given name.
I really liked the suggestion of Sy as a nickname for Sylvester, Silas, Simon, Cyrus, and even Cedric. The Cy I know is Cyril I think, and this suggests it as a nickname for Seymour and this suggests it as a nickname for Josiah. Another possibility is Sidney.
What do you all think of Sy/Cy? Do you know anyone called this, and if so what's his given name?
Repeating Mary
August 27, 2015 sanctanomina Including Mary, Naming nitty gritty Mary, Personal stories
I loved reading all your comments yesterday!! One of the things that rose to the top for me is how many of you know of families, or are such families, who have used Mary or one of its forms for more than one daughter:
"The obstetrician that delivered me had a very large, very Catholic family, and had six or seven daughters all named Mary. Of course, they weren't JUST named Mary, they were Mary X, but one of them was Mary Mary!"
"my stepsis's were named after Mary (THE Mary) whereas I am named after my mother (who was also named after Mary) … My mom (Mary)'s only sister's name is.. Rosemary"
"One of my sets of girl cousins in the same nuclear family all have the middle name Marie"
"all of my sisters and I have Marie/Mary in our names"
"I have two cousins who are sisters, and one is named Danielle Marie and the other is Rosemarie Elizabeth"
Another family with seven daughters that have among them Mary twice and Marie once
"a friend explained to me that it's a tradition in the Philippines to name all of your daughters Mary and have them all go by their middles instead"
"each of our sweet baby girls have a "form" of Mary in their name"
Woo! Mother Mary FTW!
It reminded me the family one of you readers introduced me to the other day from the Five Marys Farms in California, which is so named because, yes, Mom and all four daughters are named Mary:
Mary Regan (Mom)
MaryFrances
MaryMarjorie
MaryTeresa
The daughters all go by nicknames, which are adorable!
I know I've said it a million times before, but my paternal grandmother and her sister were both Mary ____ and went by their middle names; all six of my dad's female first cousins on his mom's side (from two different families) are Mary ____ and go by their middle names; and my three sisters and I all have a Marian name as either our first or middle.
I never tire of hearing about Marian names, or different ways of working Mary into a name, or families with lots of Mary names … I love them all!
Repeating names
August 26, 2015 November 28, 2016 sanctanomina Naming nitty gritty Appellation Mountain, Campos-Duffy, Catholic baby names, Mary, Middle names, Miscarriage, Personal stories, Powerful patrons, Rainbow baby, The Beauty of Names
Yesterday's post about the Campos-Duffy family prompted me to look more into what people think about repeating names among siblings. If you remember, they used Pilar (one of my fave Marian names!) as a middle name for three of their girls, and Margarita as a middle for one girl and a first name for another. I'm just noticing too that they used Jack as a middle and John-Paul as a first (it's the John connection that I'm finding interesting between them).
I think the majority opinion is that names shouldn't be repeated? Grace (Camp Patton) once said, "Simon came up with Xavier as the middle name and I wish we'd saved that for a first name because I love that name as well." In the Name Lady's Can I Recycle a Middle Name post she describes it as "not an ideal situation," though she also acknowledges that it's not "totally out of bounds," and "In fact, quite a few parents give in and reuse older kids' middle names. You never know it, because they carefully avoid mentioning their children's middle names at all." (I would find that so hard! I love each firstname-middlename combo my hubs and I came up with for our boys — I'd hate to feel like I had to "carefully avoid mentioning their … middle names at all"!)
I know a few people who gave multiple children the same middle name — one family gave all the girls the middle name Marie, and two other families I know gave two daughters the middle name Catherine (but not all the daughters). There does seem to be a difference between giving all your children, or all your children of the same gender, the same middle name vs. only giving some children the same name and not the others.
The mumsnet thread Would you reuse a middle name as a subsequent childs first name? brought up several potential issues with reusing names — both using one child's first name as another's middle, and even repeating first names:
"many people have said to me that in the future DD1 may resent the fact that DD2 "took" part of her name. Or DD2 may resent being "named after" DD1″
"I personally wouldn't do it, although the middle name we're about to use is gorgeous and I would love to use it as first name, but I don't want to hold it in reserve in case I don't end up having another child to use it on!"
"I know a guy who is named (first name, middle name, surname) after his older brother who died from SIDS! That's V weird!" and "I do know a boy who has the same name as his brother, who was stillborn and I know somebody who is pg who already have a DD but they are expecting a DS, and they are going to give him the same middle name as their DD's middle name!"
I was particularly intrigued by the second bulletpoint — I think a lot of people might load up all their fave names at the front end of their family because of not knowing how many they'll have of one gender — or how many kids they'll be blessed with overall — and not wanting to miss out on using a beloved name.
Regarding the third bulletpoint, in the old days reuse of names from older deceased child to younger sibling seems to have been somewhat common. Genealogy.com says that,
"Up until this century, parents could usually count on one third of their children not surviving. If a child died, the name was often used again. If a baby died, the next child of the same sex would often be given the same name. When checking birth records, you should never stop when you find the name you are looking for. You should continue for a few more years, because the first child could have died and your ancestor could have been the second child in the family with that name. If an older child died, a younger one would often be named for him or her. If you see George in the 1850 census as a six year old and then in the 1860 census as an eight year old, it may mean the first one died shortly after the 1850 census was taken."
And we've seen how at least one Catholic royal family reused names with abandon, and not necessarily because of infant/child death.
I'm not sure what I think about the first bulletpoint. Probably that kids (big and little, adult and not) get in a huff about a million things that parents don't think they will, and don't get upset about things parents were sure they would … if I'd chosen to do this with names, my approach would probably just be to be sure to always positively talk about the choice we'd made — make a big deal about how wonderfully meaningful it was meant to be and a choice given in love — so at least if the kids hated it later, they would know it wasn't done to upset them. And then pray for the best!
I'm also thinking that sometimes, as with one of the families I know that used Catherine as a middle name for two of their daughters, the reasons for using it were different each time — which then sort of makes it like two different names being used: one daughter was named after St. Catherine of Siena, and the other was named after Grandma Catherine. I myself would have used the name once and been pleased with the double honor, but that's just my personal preference — I can definitely see it seeming like two different names in this scenario, even though it looks and sounds the same. It kind of ties into what Abby wrote in one of my favorite of her posts, The Secret Meaning of Names:
"Some of the best names have backstories that are unique to the family in question. Mallory doesn't mean sorrowful if your parents met in Mallory, Indiana. Then it means "small town where my parents met." And if your parents happened to meet there because it was a dark and stormy night, and your mom had a flat tire and the repair shop was closed and your dad just happened to be in town for a meeting and suddenly, there they were nursing coffee at the Mallory Diner just one seat apart … well, then your name means "serendipity, twist of fate.""
And it ties into what I wrote in my Nameberry post Good-Intention Baby Naming: "The intention behind the bestowing of the name can be as important—or more so—than the name's actual origin or meaning or other specifics."
In the case of the Campos-Duffys, their repeating of names is so exuberant — one of you used the word "confident," which was so great — that it really strikes me as not that strange at all. And the gorgeousness and saintliness of the names they chose makes me think of that royal names post — each one is sort of decadent and fabulous, really beautiful choices.
What do you all think? Would you (have you?) use one child's middle name for another's first name? What about other types of repeating — using the same middle name for all the children, or all one gender, or the names of lost babies (miscarried/stillborn/died when they were older) being given to younger siblings?
Famous Catholics: Campos-Duffy
August 25, 2015 August 25, 2015 sanctanomina Birth announcement, Including Mary Birth announcement, Campos-Duffy, Catholic baby names, Mary
I've been meaning to update this post since I discovered little Campos-Duffy #7's name back in the spring, and kept forgetting to do so … but today's your lucky day!! 🙂 She's the beautifully named … [drumroll] … Margarita Pilar!
I'm very interested that it's the third time Sean and Rachel have used Pilar as a middle name, and the second time they've used Margarita (first as a middle, now as a first). Either way, it's beautiful and saintly and heavy hitting! She's one blessed (and beautiful!) little girl! (And other than Rachel's Twitter, I think it's very possible you're hearing it here first, because even her Wiki page only notes the birth of a daughter, it doesn't list her name.)
Ok, so I don't know a whole heckuva lot about Rachel Campos-Duffy and her husband Sean. I do know:
— They met on MTV's Road Rules All Stars in 1998
— Sean's a congressman (Wisconsin's seventh district)
— He's one of eleven children
— They gave their children super duper Catholic names:
Evita Pilar
Xavier Jack
Lucia-Belen
John-Paul
Paloma Pilar
MariaVictoria Margarita
They reportedly recently welcomed baby #7 (a girl!), but I haven't been able to find out the new baby's name. Anyone?

Baby name consultant: A little football, a little Catholic baby naming
August 24, 2015 August 24, 2015 sanctanomina Baby name consultant Baby name consultant, Biblical names, Catholic baby names, Philip Rivers
I had a little mix-up about today's scheduled consultation, so I'm going to post this one instead, which I've been working on recently. (Yes, I do spend my free time doing things like this. I'm a little bit crazy.)
One of my husband's biggest disappointments regarding his lovely wife is that I don't like football. Which isn't even entirely true — what I don't like is that when "the game's on!" (football, baseball, basketball, NASCAR, golf ………………) there's a lot of ignoring-of-wife. Also, game losses=bad-mood husband. Also, no one can watch anything else because the game's on! I'm sure some of you know what I mean.
Sports in general I'm a big fan of (though more as a player than a watcher), and I think participating and watching are both great ways to spend one's time (a lot better than some other things right?). Re: football, I also profess to be a Giants fan because my dad is a Giants fan (daddy's girl and all). (My husband says I'm not allowed to call myself a Giants fan though because I decided to go to bed with two minutes left in the game during that SuperBowl that the Giants were in, which I couldn't even remember which one it was so I just texted my hubs and he said: "Super Bowl 42 in 2008. Giants beat the Patriots 17-14 on a crazy last minute drive to beat the previously undefeated Pats (19-0 heading into the game) … And you went to bed.")
Anyway! All that to say, despite my rocky relationship with football, I'm a huge fan of Chargers QB Philip Rivers. Huge fan! I admit I've never watched him play (I probably wouldn't even know it was the Chargers unless it was pointed out to me. Because I'd probably have my nose in book. I'm such a disappointing wife!), BUT I do know these things about him:

Yeah, I can give you many intentions, but I'd certainly be humbled if you prayed for my family and for all the unborn.")
Catholic Quarterback Philip Rivers Passes On the Faith (National Catholic Register) (the whole article's the bomb — the Eucharist, favorite saints, the Miraculous Medal, purity)
NFL Star Philip Rivers Tells Catholic University Grads to Never Give Up (he got married and had his first baby while in college)
Philip Rivers — Life on the Rock — Faith, Family, Football (fantastic 52-minute segment from EWTN's Life on the Rock show, posted on his buddy Jason Evert's Chastity Project site [which is itself an awesome awesome resource]) (it starts with an opening bit about the sacraments, and Philip comes on around the 8:30 mark)
Challenges ahead for Chargers' Philip Rivers, but he has faith ("… in May, when the San Diego Chargers quarterback and his extended family visited the Vatican and were in a crowd of thousands for a Wednesday papal audience. Rivers, a devout Catholic, had a prime spot in the crowd and was holding the youngest of his six children, Pete, who will turn 2 in October … "I was about 10 yards away, and the crowd kind of opened up," Rivers said. "Pope Francis just kind of motioned like, 'Bring him to me.' Pete was like, 'No! What are you doing?!" But we passed him to the pope. It was awesome. The pope kissed him, blessed him. We got great pictures of it."") ("Real life can be tougher. Rivers and his wife, Tiffany, got that reminder after the season when their 5-year-old son, Gunner, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.")
I mean, come on. Especially for me as a mom of six boys, Philip Rivers is absolutely the kind of man I'm happy to know is out there, saying things publicly that I want my boys to hear, living a counter-cultural life that's not hidden.
And happy news! Philip and his wife are expecting their eighth baby — a girl! They have five other girls:
And two boys:
I do love to try to predict what name(s) I think expectant parents might choose, based on the names they've already chosen (and what kind of Catholic baby name blogger would I be if I didn't have some ideas for Philip Rivers!), so using my trusty Baby Name Wizard book and my gut feeling about their taste, I came up with some names that I thought seemed to hit all the right notes:
(1) Sofie (or Sophie)
Halle and Gunner really jumped out from the list of their kiddos' names — I thought that maybe they didn't seem to quite fit with the other kids' names? But when I remembered that the spelling Halle can be Scandinavian (I tend to think of it as more mainstream than ethnic, what with all the Hailey/Hallie/Hayley variants, but Halle is a legit Norwegian name on its own, albeit a male name), and Gunnar (that spelling) is Scandinavian as well, I thought maybe that was the key there. We'd actually considered Gunnar as a middle for one of our boys — it's a family name on our Norwegian side, and we liked the uber-masculine feel of the sound of it, which we would have said like Gunner (even though I'm pretty sure the Scandi pronunciation is more like goo-NAR?) — so with all that in mind, I really paid attention to the suggestions given in the BNW as similar to Gunnar, and Sofie leapt off the page. That spelling — Sofie — is the Scandinavian spelling, and the Sophia/Sophie names are so similar to the style of Caroline and Grace specifically (and it's a virtue-type name, like Grace), that it seemed like a really great pick for the Rivers. I really like the Sofie spelling for them because I think it helps loop Halle and especially Gunner in even more with whole group, but I don't mind the Sophie spelling. (And i could be totally wrong about the whole Scandinavian-Halle-Gunnar/Gunner thing.)
(2) Julia
One of my favorite things is looking at a sib set with names of different styles and trying to find names that bridge the styles. Julia is one such for the Rivers family. It was listed as a style match for Caroline and Grace, and it's biblical like Sarah, Rebecca, and Peter. And it's got a pan-European feel — and is indeed used in the Scandinavian countries — which goes well with Halle and Gunner.
(3) Evangeline/Evie
Evie was listed as one of the matches for Halle (or rather, Hallie, as the spelling Halle didn't have its own entry), which is so sweet, and it made me think immediately of Evangeline, which I thought might have just the right elements: it's long, like Caroline and Rebecca; it's biblical-ish, which fits in well with Sarah and Peter; Evie as a nickname is a good match with the shorter Grace; and like Sofie/Sophie and Grace Evangeline's also a faith-filled concept.
(4) Leah/Lena/Lily (or Lilly)
I grouped these last three together because they're all four-letter names starting with L. I like each of them for different reasons: Leah's a major Old Testament woman, so certainly a good fit with Sarah and Rebecca (it's somewhat pan-European as well, and its Scandi spelling is Lea, but I don't love that because I think it makes the pronunciation uncertain — Lee or Lee-ah?). Lena was listed as similar to Halle, and can be the Scandinavian short of Helena or Magdalena, or it could be a nickname for Evangeline (I've seen a few families do so). And I think Lily — which was listed as similar to Grace — works on so many levels — it's Marian; it is sometimes used as a form of Elizabeth, which ties in the Bible; it's got a Scandinavian form (Lilly); it's sweet and feminine like their other girls' names.
I don't know any of the girls' middle names except Sarah (Catherine), so I don't know if I've listed some names here that are unusable for that reason, but otherwise — what do you all think? Do you think these predictions are well founded? What name(s) would you predict Philip and his wife might choose, based on what we know of their taste from their previous choices?

A mama I'd done a private consultation for a couple months ago emailed me to let me know her little girl has arrived! She writes,
"We're happy to share that on August 6th we welcomed our happy, healthy and beautiful daughter Margaret Clare into the world!
We really debated between naming her Margaret and Isabel, but after 26 hours of labor that ended in a c-section, we thought maybe the patron saint of childbirth and pregnant women (St. Margaret the Virgin) would be fitting. We also debated on the spelling of Clare but eventually settled on the spelling like St. Clare of Assisi."
What a beautiful, meaningful name!! Congratulations to the proud parents, and happy birthday Baby Margaret!!
Margaret Clare

The Mother Of A Slain Soldier Said President Trump "Did Disrespect My Son" In A Phone Call
The president reportedly told the widow of one of the four soldiers killed in Niger that her husband "knew what he signed up for." President Trump later denied that he said that.

President Trump on Tuesday called the family of slain Army Sgt. La David Johnson, setting off an extraordinary back-and-forth over assertions that the president's comments were disrespectful.

Johnson, 25, was one of four soldiers killed in an ambush Oct. 4 in Niger. The incident is under investigation, the Department of Defense said.
Almost two weeks passed between Johnson's death and the president's phone call, a gap Trump explained at a Monday press conference as him wanting "a little time to pass."
Joshua Roberts / Reuters
Trump also falsely claimed that his predecessors had not offered the same condolences.
"The traditional way, if you look at President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn't make calls. A lot of them didn't make calls," he said.
He added, "I like, when I can, the combination of a call and also a letter." (An Associated Press investigation later found multiple families of soldiers who died overseas this year who said Trump had not contacted them either by phone, letter, or both.)
On Tuesday, Johnson's family gathered to receive his remains. Trump's phone call came as they were on their way to the airport.
Traveling in the car with his widow, Myeshia Johnson, were the fallen soldier's mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, and Rep. Frederica Wilson, a Democrat who represents Johnson's hometown of Miami Gardens (it's unclear who else, if anyone, was in the car).
Wilson told CNN the president's call was on speakerphone in the car.
The president said Johnson "knew what he signed up for...but when it happens it hurts anyway," Wilson told Local 10 and CNN. Wilson said she didn't hear the whole call, but that Myeshia Johnson was upset by it.
"When she hung up the phone she looked at me and said, 'He didn't even know his name.' Now that's the worst part," Wilson told CNN.
Johnson cried during the phone call and thanked the president when it was time to hang up, Wilson said. Wilson added that Johnson was already overwhelmed — she had just learned there could be no open casket at the funeral because of the condition of her husband's body, Wilson said.
Johnson's casket was then emotionally received by his wife, who is pregnant with their third child.
On Wednesday morning, Trump responded to the congresswoman's comments by accusing her of making the whole thing up.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad!
Wed Oct 18 11:25:24 UTC+0000 2017
But later Wednesday, the soldier's mother confirmed Wilson's retelling of the phone call. "President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband," Jones-Johnson told the Washington Post on Wednesday via Facebook Messenger.

Wilson told CNN that the president's remarks to the grieving widow left her "livid."
"It's so insensitive. He should have not have said that. He shouldn't have said it," the congresswoman told Local 10.
"I asked them to give me the phone because I wanted to speak with him," Wilson told CNN. "And I was going to curse him out. That was my reaction at that time. I was livid."
Wilson continued to comment on Twitter, calling Johnson a hero and saying Trump "does not possess the character, empathy or grace to be president of the United States."
Rep Frederica Wilson @RepWilson
Sgt. La David Johnson is a hero. @realDonaldTrump does not possess the character, empathy or grace to be president of the United States.
A White House source, speaking anonymously to the Sentinel, said the president only meant to comfort the widow in his call and perhaps was "misunderstood."
"This president cares deeply. Maybe he said something that was misunderstood, but he certainly cares about fallen servicemen and -women," said the source.
Trump then appeared before reporters at the White House, where he again denied making the comments.
David Mack @davidmackau
Trump denies telling widow of fallen soldier "he knew what he signed up for," calls on Rep. Wilson to make another… https://t.co/WFcQgKaM3Y
"I did not say what that congresswoman said, didn't say it at all," Trump said.
"I would like her to make the statement again because I did not say what she said.
"I had a very nice conversation with the woman — with the wife, who sounded like a lovely woman. Did not say what the congresswoman said, and most people aren't too surprised to hear that," Trump said.
Wilson then responded to Trump on Twitter.
I still stand by my account of the call b/t @realDonaldTrump and Myesha Johnson. That is her name, Mr. Trump. Not "the woman" or "the wife."
04:03 PM - 18 Oct 2017
On Wednesday afternoon during a press briefing, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders blamed the media and Wilson for politicizing the deaths of US soldiers.
Susan Walsh / AP
"I think it is appalling what the congresswoman has done in the way she's politicized this issue, and the way that she is trying to make this about something that it isn't," said Sanders.
As often happens in the Trump administration, she also blamed the media for creating the upset.
"He took the time to make a call, express condolences and thank the family for this individual's service, and I think it, frankly, is a disgrace of the media to try to portray an act of — kindness like that, and that gesture, try to make it into something that it isn't."
Sanders refused to get into specifics about what was or wasn't said on the call, but said that other members of the administration, including Chief of Staff John Kelly, were there when the call was made.
"Multiple people in the room believe that the president was completely respectful, very sympathetic, and expressed the condolences of himself and the rest of the country, and thanked the family for their service, commended them for having an American hero in their family, and I don't know how you can take that any other way," said Sanders.
Reporter April Ryan noted that Wilson told her the president didn't say Johnson's name to his widow and instead repeatedly called him "your guy."
Sanders also denied that the president hadn't made contact with all of the families of soldiers' killed during his administration, despite the AP investigation which found two families had yet to receive a call or letter after the death.
"The president's made contact with all of the families that have been presented to him for the White House military office," said Sanders explaining that it was an official process that was done by the military and the White House to verify a death and contact the families.
Politico reported on Wednesday that a condolence statement was drafted by the National Security Council soon after the incident in Niger, but it was never released by the White House.
Johnson was assigned to the 3rd Special Forces Group, based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Facebook / Via facebook.com
He was known locally and on social media as Wheelie King 305, for uploading videos of bike tricks. A scholarship fund has been set up for his 6-year-old daughter, his 2-year-old son, and his unborn child. His funeral is set for Saturday.
BuzzFeed News reached out to the White House, Wilson, and Myeshia Johnson, but did not hear back.

1. Do Research On Health-Related Subjects.
One step you should take to make wellness an integral component of your life is doing research on health-related subjects. This technique is helpful because it empowers you to gain information that you can apply in your daily life. An example would be reviewing an article that provides you with several strategies regarding how to optimize your dental care habits. You can access a journal of dentistry such as The Journal Of Implant & Advanced Clinical Dentistry to gain more information on this topic.
In addition to doing research on health-related subjects, make sure that you take the time to optimize your eating habits. Taking this course of action will boost your immunity and enhance your body's capacity to lose weight or maintain your current weight. Note that there are hundreds of relatively simple strategies you can deploy to optimize your eating habits. One of them is keeping a food journal. This technique is important because it will enable you to understand exactly what types of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients you're attaining each day. Food journals can also provide you with a macronutrient breakdown so you can understand what your carb, fat, and protein ratios are. You can use an online resource such as www.cronometer.com to start recording your food intake now.
3. Develop A Yoga Practice.
One final strategy you can implement to optimize your level of wellness is developing a yoga practice. This strategy is helpful because yoga is known to relieve stress, promote weight management, lower blood pressure, and enhance the functioning of the cardiovascular system. You can attain a membership at a local yoga studio or purchase DVDs to start practicing!
If you know that you want to look good and feel your best throughout your day, it's time to recognize that implementing lifestyle shifts is likely the most effective way to generate the outcome you want. Implement some or all of the shifts suggested above so that you can attain the level of wellness you deserve!

O glaciar Drygalski ou barreira Drygalsk ou língua glaciar Drygalsk é um glaciar costeiro situado na Antártida, localizado na costa de Scott, a norte do estreito de McMurdo na dependência de Ross, 240 km a norte da ilha de Ross.
Bastante estável, o glaciar Drygalski estende-se por 70 km pelo mar a partir do glaciar David.

O capitão Robert Falcon Scott, líder da Expedição Discovery (1901-1904), descobriu a língua de gelo Drygalski em janeiro de 1902, e deu-lhe o nome do professor Erich von Drygalski, um explorador alemão.

Entre março e abril de 2005, um icebergue  de 3.000 km2 designado por B-15A atingiu a língua partindo-a em duas partes, cada uma com 70 km2 de superfície.

No final de março de 2006, outro aicebergue vindo da plataforma de gelo Ross, designado por C-16, atingiu a língua partindo mais um parte, com mais de 100 km2.

}

A: You know the video is actually Combination of Still Images. The moment when you take the picture the cross-ponding frame is blank. That is why screenshot appears to be black/blank.
So with this method you can't take the screen shot of a video. You need to adopt a different approach.
May be it helps you.

Treasury Metals Inc. is providing an update on its 100% owned Weebigee Project and the recent arbitration proceedings between Treasury Metals subsidiary Goldeye Explorations Ltd. and Sandy Lake Gold Inc.
TORONTO – Treasury Metals Inc. (TSX: TML) ("Treasury Metals" or the "Company" - https://www.commodity-tv.net/c/search_adv/?v=298263 ) is providing an update on its 100% owned Weebigee Project and the recent arbitration proceedings between Treasury Metals subsidiary Goldeye Explorations Ltd. ("Goldeye") and Sandy Lake Gold Inc. ("SLG"). Weebigee is a non-core asset that provides Treasury Metals with an additional northwestern Ontario gold project and was acquired on November 14, 2016.
Weebigee Project is an early stage and high-grade gold project located near Sandy Lake in Northwestern Ontario (located 220 kilometres north of Red Lake and 500 kilometres northeast of Goliath Gold Project).
Goldeye entered into an option agreement with GPM Metals Inc. (the "Option Agreement") in 2015. Subsequently, GPM was acquired by SLG. Under the Option Agreement, SLG has an option to earn a 50.1% interest in the Weebigee Project by paying a total of $550,000 in cash and $25,000 in shares to Goldeye over a period of four years. GPM must also complete a minimum of $5,000,000 in exploration expenditures over a four-year term. In addition, if the first option is exercised, GPM will have the option to earn an additional 19.9% interest by either funding a bankable feasibility study, or at GPM's option, paying Goldeye an additional $1,500,000 in cash and completing a minimum additional $3,000,000 in exploration expenditures over the next two years. According to the recent panel decision, it was determined that SLG has spent $1,292,130.06 in the first year of the required $5,000,000 minimum in the four-year term.
Subsequent to the signing of the Option Agreement, GPM with support and assistance from Goldeye, staked additional claim units (the "Additional Interest") near Weebigee Project. This ground is peripheral to the main Weebigee Project and to date has no known mineralization but Treasury Metals believed would have simplified exploration and future community relations if a unitized approach had been taken to future exploration efforts.
The two central issues pertain to whether Goldeye had successfully exercised its election with respect to Additional Interest mining claims staked by GPM/SLG and whether GPM/SLG had made the required $500,000 in expenditures in the first year and the related question of total expenditures spent by GPM/SLG on the Weebigee Project.
On the first issue, the arbitration panel determined that while Goldeye had given notice of its intention to exercise its election with respect to the Additional Interest, it had failed to pay its share of the staking costs in accordance with the Option Agreement. Accordingly, the panel determined that Goldeye did not have a right to participate in the Additional Interest.
On the second issue, the panel determined that SLG has spent $1,292,130.06 in the first year of the required $5,000,000 minimum in the four-year term of the Weebigee Project. Treasury Metals intends to ask the panel to reconsider its determination of the amount, as it appears to include accounting errors.
Treasury Metals is pleased to see this portion of the arbitration proceedings completed. According to the news release issued yesterday by SLG, a new drilling campaign is planned for the upcoming field season, a development which would be encouraged by all stakeholders.
The panel has asked the parties for submissions on the costs of arbitration, with costs submissions to be made by July 27, 2018. A decision on that issue will follow.

JOHANNESBURG, Jan 4 (Reuters) - South Africa's rand firmed to a two-week best on Friday as emerging markets were boosted by increased expectations of the U.S. central bank cutting lending rates this year.
At 1430 GMT the rand was 0.84 percent firmer at 14.1550 after an overnight close of 14.3075.
Traders of contracts tied to the Federal Reserve's policy rate kept bets the U.S. central bank will not deliver a single rate hike this year and will begin cutting rates next year.
The rand reached a session best of 14.0925 soon after trading in London kicked off before some of the momentum after a surge in U.S. job growth helped steady the greenback, which traded 0.15 percent higher after a rocky start.
Survey data on Thursday showed U.S. factory activity slowed more than expected, the latest sign the world's largest economy was losing steam, igniting bets the Federal Reserve could switch from raising to cutting rates.
"Events in the U.S. will remain a determining factor for the rand, contributing to the ongoing capriciousness of the local exchange rate," said Annabel Bishop, senior economist at Investec.
Bonds were firmer, with yield on the benchmark paper due in 2026 down 5 basis points to 8.8 percent, its lowest since mid-August.
Stocks also continued to regain some of the losses they had endured in the first few days of the new year, with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange's top-40 index up 0.96 percent to 46,059 points and the broader all-share index up 0.82 percent to 52,093 by 1511 GMT.
Consumer-focused sectors, namely retailers and banks, led the top-40 index upwards, with Truworths, The Foschini Group and Mr Price at the top, as well as bourse heavyweight Naspers, which was up 2.3 percent.
Anglogold Ashanti, meanwhile, was the worst performer on the index, down 4 percent, after benefiting from rising gold prices as investors retreated to safer assets earlier in the week.

Isaac pulled himself up to standing! We play in Noah's bed after naptime almost every day, and Isaac has been doing pull-ups on the guard rail for a few weeks now. Today, Isaac was doing pull-ups and discovered that if he pulls hard enough, he can stand up. He did it again and again (and then again after I got the camera), and squealed with delight the whole time. As you can see from the above picture, his big brother did not share his pure delight with this new skill. Sometimes it takes Noah a while to wake up from his nap.

Q: Returning json to client via webmethod I'm trying to implement a very simple login system for a webapi backend. The site will only have one login, which is an admin, which will allow create/update/delete actions.
For this reason, I'm trying to implement a simple login with usernames and passwords coded directly into the pages in C#.
Here's how I want it to work:
On the Login.aspx page, the user enters the username and password to a form, which gets sent to the server via a webmethod:
[WebMethod]
public static something Login(string username, string password)
{
    if (username == "bob" && password == "password")
    {
        *Send some response indicating authentication success*
    }
}

This response needs to be something I can obtain from the client-side. Ideally, I'd like to be able to grab it using javascript. Is this possible using WebMethod? And I'm not sure what the method signature should be like.. I assume it would be "public static something methodName" but I'm not sure what that something would be.
Basically, If the user login is a success, I'll pass back a string such as "A(@I#ASGJAWIAW", the client will cache it in the browser, and from there, when they need to make any CREATE, UPDATE, or DELETE requests, they will also send in that value to the webapi methods. The webapi methods will determine whether the have the correct value before running the action.
Does anyone have any experience doing something like this?

A: If you can use jQuery, you can make a simple call to the WebMethod. Make sure your webmethod returns a String.
ajaxreq = $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "LoginService.asmx/Login",
        data: "{'username':'" + $('#txtUser').val().trim() + "','password':'" + $('#txtPwd').val()+"'}",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: OnSuccess
    });
    function OnSuccess(data, status) {
        // Check response from server here and do your stuff here...
    }

In the above code, txtUser and txtPwd are the textboxes where it picks up the up the User Name and Password supplied by the user.

On Moot Points: "47%" and the Romney Campaign
I know Mitt made a foot-in-mouth statement about the "47%", something that goes like this:
There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement … And they will vote for [Obama] no matter what …
The liberal faction of the mainstream media has a hard-on over this statement like it's the writing on the wall, the beginning of the end for the Romney campaign. Even though his base – and that 47% is represented largely by southern "Red" states, I don't think this really matters to them, and consequently to his campaign.
You have to ask yourself do they give a shit? and more importantly do they even know or understand the difference?
Probably not, to both questions. I'd wager most people with zero tax liability still think they're getting ripped off by The Man (and to an extent they are, but that's a topic for another discussion). And the vast majority of people — no matter their party affiliation — are dangerously uninformed on matters of economic principles. They would be shocked, as I suspect Romney would also be, to learn that despite the argument that "the rich pay almost all of the taxes" (which is nominally true), that "the rich" are far greater beneficiaries of (corporate) welfare and redistribution than are the working poor.
Also, there's the pesky fact that the 47% is basically bullshit.
At the end of the day, whether Mitt implodes doesn't matter. In the charade of "election year politics" and the quadrennial popularity contest that elects the President, it does. But the point is that doesn't matter. At all. In the grand scheme of things, your corporate masters don't care whether you pick Obama or Romney as long as you pick Obama or Romney.
Do Businessmen Make Good Politicians?
I hear a lot of people talking about how Mitt Romney would make a good president because he has been a successful businessman, because he knows how to make profit and turn things around, etc. For example, Pat Burke, a local self-employed entrepreneur says,
You need to vote for the most electable conservative. … We want someone new, someone who has business experience. It's the economy, economy, economy.
A businessman doesn't know how to run government. That's a common fallacy. "Electability" is a different topic, but let's talk about that business acumen and whether it translates to politicking.
Mitt Romney: businessman or career politician?
The right-wing idea of making government "more efficient" or more business-like whatever is a canard. They romanticize "business" and then suppose that because a certain man is a businessman (whose business usualy bears no resemblance to the highly idealized caricature they extoll) that he will be able to bend the apparatus of government more to their liking, more businesslike. But because there is such a divergence between our ideas about government & business, and the reality of government and business, that's never going to happen.
Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught. — Honore de Balzac
The sort of "successful" businessmen typically presented as political hopefuls are not necessarily savvy entrepreneurs, allocating scarce resources efficiently across a truly competitive freed-market economy. Instead, they are merely those most capable of navigating the spiders' webs of laws and regulations which they use to browbeat their competition, and they are the most connected to politicians and the lobbyists who convince the politicianss to privilege some at the expense of others.
If businessmen like Romney become "successful" politicians, it has nothing to do with their "business" acumen, it will be because they already know politics. He is successful at business because he negotiates politics and he negotiates politics by fucking some portion of the population in order to appease the others. If they do this long enough, eventually they'll get to come full circle, retire, get a 7-figure job on K-Street and write those laws.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Mitt Romney's Lie Face vs. Ron Paul
I watched a little bit of the GOP debate last night. It was obvious to me that Ron Paul was pretty much owning everyone. I noticed something interesting though.
Sometimes the camera would pan to another candidate while Paul was speaking and this is when I noticed some strange behavior in the other candidates' body language. When Paul was talking about the fake budget cuts, Mitt Romney's facial expression was one of incredulity. But it was obvious to me that this was a feigned expression. As far as acting goes, it was awful, like bad daytime soap opera eyebrow acting awful.
Here is the full debate. It's really long, but I have tried to timestamp a few relevant items for you.
If you fast-forward to about 55:50 this is what I remember seeing. Paul says,
Nobody cares about the budget! We're in big trouble and nobody wants to cut anything. So if you want to keep sending foreign aid overseas and these endless wars that you don't have to declare and go in to Libya without going to without consulting Congress. The biggest threat to our national security is our financial condition and this is just aggravating it.
Romney responds, first by introducing the phony $1 Trillion spending cuts, lies about it being all cut from the defense budget and then by deflecting blame to Obama. Clever! Notice that even while Romney is puking out these lies, Paul is attentive to what he is saying. His body language shows he is engaged and although he disagrees he is paying attention and thinking of how to respond.
This is where I noticed Romney's lie face. First, when Wolfie says Paul wants to respond, watch Romney shake his head dismissively at about 57:12. Paul's rebuttal begins around 57:16 and 5 or 6 seconds later you can watch Romney give him the full on eye-rolling, head-shaking you're-so-crazy look.
Romney needs to persuade others in to thinking "Oh that's just crazy Ron Paul with his crazy ideas about sound money and non-intervention…" so he puts on this mask whenever Ron Paul makes a true statement. If Romney can convince the majority of voters that Ron Paul (or any candidate, for that matter) is crazy, or has crazy ideas, then he improves his chances of winning the election. As far as his political career is concerned, it is in Romney's best interest to lie.
I feel like I caught him lying. The expression on his face was supposed to imply "Ron Paul you're a fucking looney tune" but it was obvious to me that Romney didn't actually believe this lie he was trying to put forth.
I also noticed Gingrich doing it in a few places, too, like here (timestamped from a different video):
I would like to remind you that in addition to his desire to "strengthen" the PATRIOT Act, Newt Gingrich the dickhead who cheated on his wife while she was going through cancer treatment and then left her.
As far as mainstream political candidates go, Ron Paul is without a doubt among the least-offensive. It is funny to watch the other parasites in the political class react to what Ron Paul says. They don't know how to react without lying, and it usually shows up in their body language.
Ron Paul has some ideas that I don't endorse like his rather unprincipled wishy-washy anti-federalism (which clouds a lot of his prescriptions) and particularly his failure to embrace just a little bit of the left when it comes to things like labor or the environment, etc. But he also wants to abolish a lot of shit that, frankly, needs to be abolished. Like perpetual war in 100+ countries around the globe, and the corresponding export of weapons of destruction that serve only to enrich well-heeled capitalists and government contractors (paid for by our tax dollars) and make the rest of the world less safe for everyone in it.
On balance I think he would be an improvement over the status quo by a long shot. He was certainly better than any of the 6 clowns he shared the stage with last night.

In the current age of CGI & high tech wizardry….
I adore this prologue from Shakespeare's Henry V in which the Chorus (a character who opens the play) announces the play and sets the scene of which the audience is to imagine that the small stage in front of them is transformed into vast French fields on which Kings are fighting out their epic battles.
It's Shakespeare's lyrical instructions for us to use our imaginations!
