The time has rolled around again when I get to do one of my favorite things—browse through the Birth Announcement Forum and get to see a snapshot of the gorgeous names Berries have chosen over these past three months–the latest installment of Baby Names 2012.  Because each quarter they seem to be more and more impressive and inventive, and this one is no exception, with many great first and middle combos and interesting sibsets as well.

　　It’s just so gratifying to see the final results of all the Nameberry advice and discussion—ours and especially the wise, measured opinions of fellow Berries  —  a fantastic mix of the classic and the creative, from Elizabeth to Arrow for a girl, Jack and John to Calder and Cato for boys.  Not to mention a veritable botanical garden of flower and tree names—Primrose, Tulip, Rose, Iris, Violet, Lilac, Jacinda, Maple and Olive, as well as a Flora, a Blossom and a Bloom.

　　This time we have not only five pairs of twins, but also two sets of triplets—take a look at how their parents succeeded in meeting  the challenge of choosing and balancing those multiple names.  And speaking of multiples, we have a few of our own—two each of Cordelia, Louisa, Philippa, Willa and Theodore.

　　So catch up on the babyberry choices—and don’t forget to keep adding your arrivals to the Baby Announcement Forum.
