Earlier today, my husband sent me an article about Dan and Susie Kellogg and their 12 children. The entire family, from Colorado, has lived in an RV full-time since last fall.
I was intrigued when I read that all 12 Kellogg kids have names ending in y. But the family blog, Kellogg Show, makes it clear that the Kellogg kids simply have nicknames ending in y:
Kerrigan, “Kerry” (b. 1993)
Graden, “Grady” (b. 1996)
Broden Michael, “Brody” (b. 1997)
Kadrian, “Kady” (b. 1998)
Kendon Thomas, “Kenny” (b. 2000)
Dallan Patrick, “Dally” (b. 2001)
Carden David, “Cardy” (b. 2003)
Madigan Grace, “Maddy” (b. 2005)
Rowden Vincent, “Rowdy” (b. 2007)
Emmelyn Trinity, “Emmy” (b. 2008)
Ellevyn Noelle, “Elly” (b. 2010)
Coby (b. 2012) – not sure if it’s a nickname
Did you catch Ellevyn for the eleventh child? That would’ve been a good one for an 11-11-11 baby.
Which of the given names above do you like the best? And, which nickname is your favorite?
I know of dozens of babies that were named after cars. But this is the only one I know of that was named for a highway exit:
Susie and Dan McLaughlin of Meadville, Pennsylvania, were expecting a baby in the summer of 1998. When Susie went into labor, they got into Susie’s sister’s car and began heading toward the hospital via Interstate 79.
The baby wasn’t willing to wait, however. So they pulled the car over near the McKean exit and Susie proceeded to give birth to a baby boy in the back seat.
The baby’s name? Keane, after the exit.
(McKean township takes its name from the 2nd Governor of Pennsylvania, Thomas McKean.)

Here are a few music-inspired baby names I’ve come across recently.
First is Raina, a baby girl born in Canada in June of 2008. Her name was inspired by the Peter Himmelman song “Raina,” which you can listen to at Himmelman’s website.
Second is Susie, one of the first babies born in the Denver metro area in 2008. “Susie got her name because her [4-year-old] brother liked to sing Wake Up Little Susie to his sister when she was in the womb.”
Last but not least is Liza Minelli (b. 1946), daughter of Judy Garland. I didn’t realize until a few days ago that she was named for the Gershwin song “Liza (All the Clouds’ll Roll Away)” from the musical Show Girl (1929). Here’s a live version of “Liza (All the Clouds’ll Roll Away)” [vid] sung by Judy herself.
