Back in 2012, I used a mixture of baby name stats and pop-culture know-how to predict which baby names might be the future Sophias and Aidens. (Watch out for Harper and Penelope, and don't underestimate Declan and Asher.) Yet the name experts at Nameberry.com did their own charting and analyzing to come up with their own list of unique names on the upswing. A list of names that are getting popular at a faster rate than the norm. Whether they signify a temporary trend or an eventual rise to the tippy-top - well only time will tell. By Michelle Horton

Should we drop the morning nap?Gasp, I know. I think I've officially lost my mind, but I'll say it now and I'll say it again:

My 15-month-old baby sleeps too much and it's starting to cramp my style.

I am ready, and I am impatiently waiting. Baby Paul needs to drop his morning nap and sync up with his brother's afternoon nap ASAP.

My sleep deprived mommy friends have told me to bite my crazy tongue, but hear me out for one moment.

For discussion purposes, let's review Paul's current sleep schedule:

• Wake up at 6:30 AM, which is perfect because that's when the whole family gets up in the morning.
• Nap #1 - back to bed from 8:30 AM till 11:30 AM.
• Up again from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM
• Nap #2 - back to bed from 4 PM till 5:30 PM (and I have to wake him up for dinner, or he would just keep sleeping)
• Tucked in again for the night at 7:30 PM (which is great, because that's when we put all 4 kids to bed for the night)

Cedars-SinaiBy Jeana Lee Tahnk

Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles just recently announced a new program for its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that will use iPads to help their new moms bond with recently delivered babies.

Called 'BabyTime,' this program will allow non-ambulatory moms who have either had c-sections or complications from their labor and deliveries to see their babies on the iPad screen and talk to them over secure wireless connections within the hospital.

According to the hospital's press release announcing the new initiative, Charles F. Simmons Jr., MD, chair of the Department of Pediatrics calls it a communication bridge that will help moms bond even if they can't be physically present. He adds, "When doctors and nurses are treating a newborn in the NICU, mom can be right there asking questions and getting updates, even if she's on a different floor."

After a baby is admitted to the NICU, they will set up an

As Duchess Kate and Prince William are readying the interiors of Kensington Palace for themselves-as well as the layout of a 10-bedroom country mansion where they'll spend weekends-they're simultaneously prepping for the arrival of their baby, too. Starting in July, their son or daughter will grow up in the baby suite at Kensington Palace's Apartment 1A, as did Will and Harry when they were young. But how will Kate, who has a discerning eye and an interior decorator reportedly already on retainer, choose to decorate her nursery? The renovation of K.P.'s 1A is estimated to cost $1.5 million, so we know it will be luxurious enough for a future king or queen. We cobbled together a century's worth of ideas for Kate's royal Pinterest board-see if you think she'll take cues from nurseries past.

Kindling Quarterly is a new magazine for cool dads. Seriously. And when you read founder David Michael Perez's mission statement, it's actually quite sweet: "We offer no dramatic manifestos or grand theories about what it means to be a father, just simple explorations of creative individuals whose role as a parent - whether stay at home, working full time, or everywhere in between - is intrinsic to their life, and often their career." In other words, they profile men who make other fathers say "I don't know how he does it!"

There are more than 200 Barbies in Mattel's Dolls of the World collection, all dressed in costumes that pay homage to different countries. The collection debuted in 1980 with Parisian, British, and Italian dolls, but the more-modern versions are causing controversy now: The 2013 Mexico Barbie, in particular, has been called out by critics for being offensive rather than educational. "Our goal with the Dolls of the World Mexico Barbie, as well as the entire Dolls of the World Collection, is to celebrate cultural differences and tradition, introducing girls to the world through play," a Mattel spokesperson told Yahoo! Shine. Take a look at some of their newest offerings and decide for yourself: Are these ethnic Barbie dolls stunning, or simply stereotypical? -- By Lylah M. Alphonse, Senior Editor, Yahoo! Shine.

Let's talk about the mother who regrets her childrenLet's talk about the mom who regrets her children. Last week, the Daily Mail published a first-person story by Isabella Dutton, a 57 year old mother of two who declared her children to be "the biggest regret of her life." Since the Daily Mail is possibly the internet's leading purveyor of "human interest in hating other humans" stories, it goes without saying that the article incited (and was intended to incite) a monstrous tsunami of scorn.

"A mother could never regret her children." It's a truism. But considering the life-altering effect of children on their mothers, it seems impossible that it could really be a universal truth. Isabella Dutton is clearly very unhappy. She feels trapped by the intense demands of her children, calling them parasites. I know lots of mothers who feel this way sometimes. But feeling like your kids are sucking your life force is one thing. Feeling like they "give nothing meaningful back in return"? That's something different.
