A full decade of blogging! Why? Because clearly something is wrong with me.
Six-year-old Nancy Joyce Darken of Chicago, on the other hand, is perfect in all ways:
In fact, it was NJD who reminded me to write this post.
Not personally, of course. Her photo did the reminding.
I’ve had it saved on my computer since last year, and every time I saw it, I’d say to myself: “Don’t forget to add that to the 2016 blogiversary post.”
Which in turn reminded me to write the 2016 blogiversary post.
Anyway…
Double digits. Pretty cool. Not quite as cool as twenty years, which is what Behind the Name recently hit (congrats to Mike C!), but cool nonetheless.
On to decade #2!

My God – such a big milestone! Congratulations Nancy, I always love reading the interesting snippets you post on your blog :)
Congratulations, Nancy! Had to smile at your comment, “clearly something is wrong with me.”! Not at all! You’re amazing in what you discover about names and naming. Thanks for researching and sharing name news, name history, name stats, etc., etc. Always an interesting blog!
I’m so, so grateful that you both take time out of your day to read what I write. Thank you. :)
Wow, ten years: this is epic! Congrats Nancy – how could we get through the blogging day without your astounding “Believe It or Not” name posts?
Congrats and many happy anniversaries to come!
Congratulations, Nancy! What a milestone!! I have loved reading your blog for the last 5 (!) years, and I recommend it to everyone that I know when the subject of names comes up. Keep up the great work! :)
Congratulations!
Thanks so much you guys. I wish I could meet all of you in person and give you the biggest hugs. :)
Twitter just turned ten too!
