August's Most Popular Baby Names - 2011

Some of you have been watching True Blood. I can't say I blame you, or that I'm not guilty of it myself. This past season, arguably it's best thus far, has brought a lot of interesting characters and story lines to Bon Temps (Is it just me, or did this season fly by?). You may be wondering (with good reason) what a show about vampires, werewolves, wiccans, shapeshifters, and faeries has to do with our baby-naming site. Well, it seems quite a few of you have been searching Nymbler for the meaning behind the names of your favorite characters. In fact, two of our five new names for this month come directly from the show (see below). And this isn't the first time this has happened. Here are some other names from the series people have searched for:


Sookie
Lafayette
Hoyt
Claudine
Antonia
Portia
Luna

What's your favorite True Blood character name?

July's Most Popular Baby Names - 2011

Nowadays, almost everything we touch eventually makes its way onto cyber space, so it only makes sense that baby books would follow suit. With a relatively new app for your iPad (it's release date was January 12, 2011), Sweet Baby has done just that. This ingenious app (created by Brax-Apps) allows a level of interactivity that has never been possible with physical baby books and makes creating and updating your child's baby book fun and easy. This app is more than just your ordinary baby book; you can add videos and sounds clips as well as add your own customized pages (like a page to list all of the name possibilities you found on Nymbler you didn't choose!). With Sweet Baby you can capture your baby's first steps or first words or even the sound of his/her laughter while the two of you play "patty cake" – all on your iPad. It's also easy to share your book with friends and family members via email and there’s even an option to print your own copy.

Has anyone used this new way of documenting your baby's "firsts"? Tell us what you think!

Here are the names that were popular on Nymbler in July 2011. Are there any surprises?
