About me

Swistle lives with her husband Paul and has five pseudonymed children: Robert (born 1999), William (born 2001), twins Elizabeth and Edward (born 2005), and Henry (born 2007). Email: Swistle at Gmail dot com. “Swistle” rhymes with “thistle.”

Swistle on Facebook: Facebook has locked me out of my account and does not respond when contacted, so I cannot see what you post there or interact with you there, but I think you can still friend me and then get notifications of posts! Unless I need to accept the friend request, in which case we are out of luck!
Facebook page for Swistle: Baby Names, where I am also locked out but I think you would see notifications of posts!

Put us to work

Want us to tackle your baby-naming problem? Email Swistle at Gmail dot com and tell me all about it. Include details such as finalist names, estimated arrival date, surname (or a name that sounds like the surname, for trying names out), names of your other children, names you've considered and rejected, names you'd use if the baby were the opposite sex, how many children you plan to have. But be sure you only send me information that's okay to post on the site---or specify which parts should not be posted.

I typically choose from questions submitted the previous week. The volume of emails we now receive means we can't answer all the questions. (Please don't re-send your question.) We tend to give priority to questions that (1) give a surname or a surname stand-in (like Neelsin for Neilson, or "it sounds like Donson, but with a J"), and (2) ask for help with a boy name OR a girl name, and (3) ask for help with a name for a USA baby (I don't know much at all about how names sound / seem / are used in other countries), and (4) address an issue not recently covered.

You will also need to email an update when the baby is born and named, or else our lives feel like an exercise in sad unsatisfied futility.

The Affiliate Situation

I have affiliate relationships with Amazon.com and Target.com. That means that if I link to something Amazon.com or Target.com sells, and you click through and buy it right away, I’ll get a few cents per dollar.
