Uniquely Australian names: Taj

September 28, 2013 ebony3 Comments

Sorry it took so long to add a second name but here is part two of my uniquely australian name series. Taj is an Arabic name meaning crown and it was most popular in WA because of Yalingup born surfer Taj Burrow. It currently ranks at 131 in NSW and 17 in Victoria.   So… Continue reading Uniquely Australian names: Taj

Name of the week: Hawthorne

September 28, 2013 ebony7 Comments

Its grand final weekend in Australia and I can’t wait for it to be over mostly because I’m a Sydney supporter in a family of Freo supporters and I think I broke my dads heart by saying I’m supporting Hawthorn this weekend because they are my second team and I would be more of a… Continue reading Name of the week: Hawthorne

April is currently at 110 in NSW, 45 in Tasmania, and 100 in Victoria and from the NSW data its the highest its ever been… Continue reading Baby name predictions: April and Bianca

Hyphenated names: Girls

September 2, 2013 ebony5 Comments

I’ll admit I love hyphenated names my favourite? Amelia-Lily. One of the most hated there is. I just love the way it rolls of the tongue, though everyone seems to think its too tongue-twistery. This list is of the most popular for each letter and my favourite in England and Wales with the rank then… Continue reading Hyphenated names: Girls
