4 Names From Today

today i met a 14 year old girl with such a perfectly lovely and seemingly on trend name: Beatrice Rosalie.

later in the day, i overheard a woman speaking to her children, in the booth next to us in a restaurant, Jordan (b), and Annabelle, both under age 5, it looked like.

At the beach on Monday, I met a little girl (about 18 months) named Beatrix, and overheard a slightly older girl (about 5 or 6) being called Beatrice. It seems to be enjoying something of a stealth renaissance around here. (I just checked NameVoyager: Beatrix has never been in the top 1000, and all varieties of the name fell off the chart circa 2005, and are barely on it now.)

love Mabel, Elizabeth T. 

at work, when i told some co-workers about the Beatrice encounter, they reacted negatively  toward the name, saying it was frumpy, which surprised me. i like it.
