Baby Names Home > Original Baby Names Where Do Original Baby Names Come From?Parents who are searching for original baby names may be struggling in their quest to find names that meet their criteria. The trend a few decades ago was to name at least one of the sons after the father, adding another mark to the Roman numeral so that James the II, III and so on were taken for granted. Using names that were already in the family was also widely accepted. Though there were some exceptions with parents who sought out original baby names Carrying on family names has again become a popular tradition, though in a slightly different way that allows parents to set out some very original baby names Twins are another great opportunity for original baby names. One way twin names can result in original baby names is when parents choose one name they like, then rearrange the letters to make another name. Myra and Mary are an example, but the practice is not limited to real names - the second name may very well exist only because of the twin! There are some other original baby names and naming ideas for twins listed at www.babiesonline.com/pregnancy/articles/choosingbabynamesfortwins.asp. As you're searching for original baby names, you may find yourself facing one of two options - drop the idea of originality because you simply can't come up with an original name, or go with the original name that's more weird than original. Start by defining original baby names. Be specific about your reasons for wanting an original name. If you're just out to find a name that no one else has ever used, you're probably going to have to make up a new word. But if your idea of original baby names means you'll find a name that's not common and holds some special meaning, time is your best friend. Start searching early and keep an open mind. You may not decide to name your child Moon Unit, but you can surely come up with some great options.

Shania Twain and husband divorcing
Filed under: Divorce & custody, Celeb kids  I have always found Shania Twain's life story to be quite inspiring. Raised by her mother and stepfather, Shania and her siblings grew up poor in Timmins, Ontario. She was well on her way to a singing career when both parents were tragically killed in a car accident in 1987. 22-year-old Shania put her career on hold to care for her younger siblings and supported them by performing for audiences at a resort near Huntsville, Ontario. She got noticed there and eventually landed a recording contract. Her first album wasn't terribly successful, but it did catch the attention of producer Mutt Lange, who took her under his wing. Together, they made Shania a star.Twain not only found success with Lange, she found a husband. The two married in 1993 and had a son, Eja, in 2001. Sadly, their 13-year marriage has hit a rough spot and yesterday Twain's record label announced that the couple is separating. "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time," said Twain's spokesperson at Universal Music Group Nashville. We all love fairy-tale endings and it sure looked like Shania had found hers. For Eja's sake, I hope these two can work out their differences and continue to make beautiful music together.

Filed under: Kids 5-7, Kids 8-11  At what age would you consider it appropriate for a young girl to wear a skimpy bathing suit? Before you answer that, let's define skimpy. For me, that would be anything with high-cut legs, low-cut waist and/or tiny triangles covering the upper body. I don't consider myself a prude, but I think little girls should look like little girls and not flat-chested Victoria's Secret models. And while I know that swimsuits by their very nature reveal lots of skin, I think a child's suit should not necessarily resemble a tiny version of an adult suit. Unfortunately, finding the right suit requires trying on a lot of wrong suits. Wrong suits that my 7-year-old desperately wants, of course. I won last year's battle of the swimsuit and have every intention of winning again this year. After all, I hold the credit card and therefore the power. I am now gearing up to do battle again, but this year I am previewing selections online first. It is important to try a suit on of course, but looking online beforehand helps me avoid stores where we might run into something like this. Or even this. I recognize that appropriateness is sometimes in the eye of the beholder, but I also know what I feel comfortable with. What about you? How do you feel about little girls wearing little bikinis?
Nine-year-old girl carrying her own twin
Filed under: Kids 8-11, Health & safety, Medical conditions  A 9-year-old girl in Greece entered a hospital with stomach pains and left grieving a twin she never even knew existed. The girl, whose name has not been revealed, had a swollen belly and abdominal pains that doctors at Larissa General Hospital attributed to a tumor. After the growth was surgically removed, they discovered that it was actually the girl's embryonic twin."They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they couldn't suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo," hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis said. The embryo was a formed fetus measuring more than two inches long. There was no brain or umbilical cord, but there was a head, hair and eyes. While cases of one twin absorbing the other in the womb is unusual, it isn't completely unheard of. Andreas Markou, head of the hospital's pediatric department, says it happens in about one of every 500,000 live births. The girl made a complete recovery, but not surprisingly, her family wishes to remain anonymous.

Filed under: Newborns, Pregnancy & birth  A little over a week ago, ParentDish underwent some changes -- a spiffy new look, integration into AOL Living, and so on. On that same day, my family made a pretty big change too -- my wife Rachel and I welcomed kid number three into the world.For those wondering about the name, it's Ezra Lincoln Sinasohn and, yes, my mother-in-law approves. I'm not exactly sure where Ezra came from -- I think Rachel just liked it -- but Lincoln comes, obviously, from the president. You know, that equality, freedom, hippy guy from 150 years ago. There is also a traditional middle name in my father-in-law's family that has the same initial and ending sounds -- this is an attempt to sneak that in without stirring up too much family politics. Ezra weighed nine pounds, four ounces at birth -- not a record by any means, but still hefty -- and was a little over twenty inches long/tall. Our other kids, Jared and Sara, are thrilled by the new arrival. Rachel is recovering, slowly but surely, as we settle into the age-old routine of feed, burp, diaper, repeat.

Filed under: Newborns, Pregnancy & birth, Money & work, Celeb parenting  A few months after our older daughter was born, we set up an appointment to meet with a lawyer for "the talk." No, not that talk...the one where you make a hypothetical plan for your child, should you and your spouse be suddenly abducted by aliens at exactly the same moment. Or you know, something worse.My husband and I were in total agreement on every decision we made regarding our wills and life insurance, especially the one where we never wanted to use them in the first place. After every question our poor lawyer asked, we'd reply, "Well, of course we'll never need it, but hypothetically, we'd like to..." I'm surprised he didn't write it in all caps at the top of the forms we got back: YOU PROBABLY WON'T NEED THESE BUT HERE THEY ARE JUST IN CASE. That would have made me feel better as I stuffed them into my filing cabinet for safe keeping. Funny man Kevin Nealon, who found fame by creating hilarious characters like "The Subliminal Man" on SNL and the incorrigible but utterly hysterical Doug Wilson on Showtime's Weeds, found himself facing the role of his life at age 52...Daddy.

Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments The ten-year-old college kid
Filed under: Kids 8-11, Education  If you asked me, I'd say that, yeah, my kids are pretty smart. My son Jared entered kindergarten reading at a second-grade level and both he and my daughter, Sara, picked up on one-to-one correspondence pretty early. Still, I've got at least another decade before six-year-old Jared even starts to think about college.Not so the parents of Moshe Kai Cavalin. At ten-years-old, he's already in his second second year at East Los Angeles College and has plans to transfer to a four-year university next year. Cavalin plans to study astrophysics and is very interested in the concept of wormholes. "Just like black holes, they suck in particulate objects, and also like black holes, they also travel at escape velocity, which is, the speed to get out of there is faster than the speed of light," Cavalin says. "I'd like to prove that wormholes are really there and prove all the theories are correct." That's pretty fancy talk for a pre-teen. While I have no doubt about Cavalin's ability to handle the learning side of college, I worry about the social side. I have a brother who went to university at sixteen and had difficulty dealing with twenty-year-olds drinking and acting like, well, college kids. I just hope his parents plan to address that side of the college experience and help him deal with it appropriately.
