names for Christmas babies
<< continued from
page 1
Gone are the Noels and Noelles, the Carols and Christophers, the Hollys
and Nicholases of yesterday. Now parents can pick from a much wider range
of holiday-appropriate names.
The advent of word names and place names, exotic names and day names
means many new choices for Babyworld parents and their Christmas babies.
It can be fun as well as meaningful to take your name cues from the time
of year your baby is born, say authors Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond
Satran, who also wrote Cool Names for Babies. But
you can be original at the same time. Here, the best new names for Christmas
babies:
