    What Your Baby's Name Says About You

    The Romans said nomen est omen - "name is destiny." Destiny and a lifetime of self-expression. These are very high stakes when naming a new baby. I've complied a list of recent baby names in the public arena, trying to glean where the parents were coming from, and where the kids are likely to go. Click through to check them out: - Elizabeth Beller

      You probably have a staid name yourself, and are therefore rather traditional but wish you weren't. You're too timid too go for something very unique, so you wax nostalgic on a turn of the century, florid moniker in hope of a serene, ladylike girl who will be bastion of honesty, honor, fairness and virtue. What you're likely to end up with is a raucous provocateur who isn't simply unafraid to voice opinions but feels vehemently obligated to enlighten the ignoramus public around her. She can turn a Tuesday afternoon playdate into Burning Man Junior. I can attest to this because I am an Elizabeth who named my daughter Evangeline. She is the light of life itself, but daily negotiations with our firecracker are rapidly putting wrinkles on my body in places that have no business wrinkling, and when she starts dating she will rake inches off my husband's hairline.
