    I don’t see the photo on the last one. Wondering if it is because I am looking at it on my phone?

    A big thank you to these parents who let us know what they named their babies!

    It’s always interesting to hear (and disappointing when there is no word of what a baby was named).

    Swistle, have you ever computed where the majority of the names end up coming from: a name already on the parents’ list; or one suggested by you or a commentor; or a ‘surprise’ name never mentioned on your blog? It has seemed to me that many parents end up using a name they were already considering — and sometimes their favorite, but that it has helped them to have the reassurance that comes from your blog’s objective discussion of the name.

      No, I’ve never done that—I’m not computery enough to know how to do that without going through all the posts one by one.
