Old literature inspires new names for babies

Saturday, June 21, 2003


Looking for baby names? Read old literature for ideas.
The most popular girl's name in 2002 was Emily (as in poet Emily Dickenson), according to www.babynamer.storkavenue.com. Emma and Abigail, which also conjure historical images, were in the top five.
On the boys' side, such traditional monickers as Matthew, Nicholas and Jacob headed the list.
