The Baby Name Game

With the exciting  news of my first pregnancy came the wondering. Will it be a girl or a boy and what will we name our little one? The lists went on and on as my husband and I hashed out various names from popular to traditional. We settled on names that fit two criteria; they hadn’t been previously used as a first name by close friends or family members and they sounded good with Horsey…a name I’ve always felt could become a source for schoolyard teasing (my husband vehemently disagrees) You can imagine we nixed Ryder and Gray off the list! It turned out we could both agree on a name that had been passed down by generations on my husband’s side…Yay bonus points with the in-laws!  That also made naming our second son much easier since we had to be fair to both sides, right?

It seems celebrities have their own criteria for baby naming. Their publicized names often make me wonder if they are just a cover for what they will REALLY call them to protect their identities. Perhaps schoolyard teasing is not a concern. If you are looking for some inspiration you can keep up with  the latest in celebrity arrivals at Celebrity Baby Names where you can see the popular, the cute and the creative in celebrity offspring naming.

I’m very excited to announce the launch of the newest design in my personalized jewelry line.

Heirloom keepsakes preserve memories for generations to come

So much of the jewellery that I make is to commemorate milestones and celebrate life. By commissioning a hand made piece we can work together to put your heart into it too.  Whether it’s a baptism, a first communion or new baby there is a story to be told to generations to come through the jewellery you gift today.

I was truly honoured to take on this commission memorializing the life of a young son and celebrating the life of his surviving sister. The elements in each charm are extremely personal to the family and symbolize the times they’ve shared and the character of each child. Script is included on charms front and back.
