I got a few of the unusual names from today's 'new' names from British Baby Names as well as from the list of the most popular baby names in 2013 in the United States by the Social Security Administration. Bonus points to anyone who can, without cheating, figure out which names came from which source! (including those that came from neither source)

Robert Frost's poem "A Cliff Dwelling" reminds me of the people who must have lived here "Oh years ago--ten thousand years" and enjoyed the beauty and safety of a cliff. A place "to rest from his besetting fears". Welcome to mine.
In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.
