Just a couple quick things that I enjoyed recently:
I Love My Kid’s Unusual Name, about a Mary Cecilia nicked Mamie and her parents’ struggle over the naming process. I guess it’s true that I don’t hear Mamie too much, but I’m not sure I would have classified it as “unusual” until reading this. I guess it is, though “Mary Cecilia” has high-powered Sancta Nomina style. 🙂
And two things from the Twitter-verse:
- Check out #HipsterConfirmationSaint courtesy of The Catholic Hipster (and fellow CatholicMom.com writer) Tommy Tighe, in which he calls for you to share your Confirmation name with him, if it’s the name of a Hipster Saint (and even if it’s not). Don’t know what the qualifications for “hipster” are? Me neither! But I do love a good name convo so head on over to his Twitter or his blog and share your Confirmation name if you think it might be what he’s looking for!
- I was cracking up over #CelebBoatNames — I love clever punny names, some of them were really funny.
That’s what I got for you today! Happy Thursday!
Wonder if Hippolytus of Rome falls in the “hipster” category? 😉
love the “Tommy Tighe” name!
