Thanks Muffy...er, um, Amanda!!!

Lina and I received a sweet email from our dear friend Amanda "Muffy" where she commented on a number of our blog postings. We just saw Amanda a week or so ago at Wit and Dz's wedding. Amanda sent in the email a link to a website which models the popularity of names over SEVERAL decades. Its really cool and a great tool for Lina and I as we start sifting through the many possibilities. Take "Ocie" for instance...who knew that Ocie was a word, let alone a name. Ocie was a popular name at the turn of the 20th century...but fell out of the top 1000 in the 1920s. This is very good information to have when considering names such as "Ezell Hillard Reeth" or "Kermit Tanner Reeth".

Check it out...fun for all - see where your name ranks.

We're still waiting on and are in need of some boy name suggestions - do we have to run a "Best Boy Name" contest in order to get submissions? We'll do it :)
