Top Posts of 2009, or, You Guys Really Like Female Saints
My most popular blog posts of 2009 were the five posts in the Unique Female Saint Names series. Here they are, from most to least popular:
In sixth place we have the highly philosophical question: Does This Baby Name Sound like a Stripper Name?
Seventh place goes to the Octo-Mom: Octuplet Names Revealed – Isaiah, Jonah, McCai, Nariah. (Too bad she didn’t come in 8th, isn’t it?)
Eighth is my tribute to Celebrities Who Have Chosen Great Baby Names.
Ninth is my response to a reader named Amie: Baby Name Needed – Middle Name for Harper.
And tenth place goes to the dogs: Popular Dog Names – Bailey, Charlie, Daisy, Molly.
Wondering what the most popular blog categories were? Literary Baby Names, Botanical Baby Names and Middle Names, in that order.
Have a Happy New Year, everyone!
