Happy feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary! The beautiful name Presentación refers to this very feast (and is an entry in my book as a result). ❤

My November CatholicMom.com article posted yesterday, in which I discuss those interesting Puritan names and how they’re maybe not that far off from Catholic names: Puritan-inspired Names for Catholic Babies. Perhaps you expectant mamas due this month will find some inspiration for your Thanksgiving baby!

My book, Catholic Baby Names for Girls and Boys: Over 250 Ways to Honor Our Lady (Marian Press, 2018), is available to order from ShopMercy.org and Amazon — perfect for expectant parents, name enthusiasts, and lovers of Our Lady!
