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.

Anne Sullivan Macy

 
 
I thought this was a nice quote. What else can you do if you live a long life? And in the spirit of naming people perfectly, let's give Anne a new name. What do you think would suit her? Keep Sullivan and Macy and just change Anne. I think she'd make a fine Gwen, but I don't love the 'flow' with her middle and last names. Lenore matches how pretty she is. But Lenore Macy feels off. Blythe, maybe?

Miss Marietta Lockhart

Looking for someone in a painting for us to name I came across this painting entitled Miss Marietta Lockhart. I thought I would give Miss Marietta a middle name and an alternative as well. It's a nice painting, such a beautiful shade of blue! She has a nice aspect as well. Marietta Dorcas would be good, back in a time when names like Dorcas could be appreciated. It wouldn't go over so well now though. Maybe Marietta Bess. Yes I like that a lot. I could picture her with siblings: Ann, Lydia, Nora, Joseph, Albert, and Edgar.

Name this boy (and his dog)

I came across this photograph of a boy and his dog on Ebay. Thought it might be fun to give them both names. What would you choose? I think he looks like a Milton and his dog Dodger. Let's see, Milton Asher.

Name this woman

I thought it might be fun to name the woman in this painting by Millais. He only titled it Farmer's Daughter. What name might you give her?  Aurelie would be fantastic. Maybe Aurelie Manon?

Names to accompany Ocean

Ocean was a name featured last year during my series of posts on very unusual or interesting names. It's a name I think works in today's world, even if it is quite different from most names.


See if any of these possibilities appeal to you:


Ocean Talitha
Ocean Phaedra
Ocean Alisande
Ocean Aubrey
Ocean Cadence - I don't always like a first and middle name being a descriptive pair like these are, but in this case I do like it. I don't usually like the name Cadence but I do like it here.

Delilah Ocean
Iris Ocean (yes, another descriptive pair, but I may like this even more than the Ocean Cadence)
Rihanna Ocean
Selene Ocean
Catalina Ocean (I don't always go for paired names that are an actual location, well, there may not be a 'Catalina Ocean' but the fact that it is in the ocean is enough. However, I really just like this one.)

Ocean Everly Nya
Ocean Melissa Hayley
Jessica Ocean Grace
Natalya Ocean Aurora
Laurel Sadie Ocean
Faith Irina Ocean

These would make great sibling names to a girl named Ocean:

Penelope, Amber, Candace, Odette, Eric, Oliver, Thaddeus, Hawke
