Daisy! Not just a summer time flower.
BNG BLOG
 I was in my garden clearing out the weeds and noticed how my daisies keep coming back year after year without any effort from me. Daisies are an annual flower, but will reseed on their own ensuring many years of sunshine that is planted in your very own yard. I think daisies are the most cheerful flower, and nothing screams summer like a bunch of fresh picked Daisies. You can't help feeling a smile starting to creep onto your face and feeling just a little happier when you see a bouquet.

Baby Names for the Summer Time Heat
BNG BLOG
 Ah, Summer, It's finally here! Heat, humidity and the late afternoon pop-up shower that always interferes with the kids activities. You guessed it. I'm not a big fan of summer, Autumn is more my thing, but I have to admit that after the brutal winter that the northeast had, it's definitely welcome. There are a few things that I like, mostly the smell of suntan lotion. Every time I get a whiff of it, I am automatically thinking ocean, sand, and waves. My family is of Irish decent, so we are fair completed, red hair and freckles. I don't get a tan, I just burn, BAD!!! Definitely no beach vacations for this family.
Top 10 bad boy names in the USA.

 Boys growing up with popular names such as Michael, Joshua and Christopher have a good chance of leading law-abiding lives - but those named Kareem, Walter or Ivan could find themselves on the wrong side of the law. That's according to a United States study that claims the more unpopular, uncommon or feminine a boy's first name, the greater the chance he will end up behind bars. What's your theory behind why this is?

Does your name shape your destiny?

We were sent this article from one of our visitors, and thought we would post it.
Wes Moore appeared in his hometown newspaper, The Baltimore Sun, 10 years ago because of his impressive academic achievements. Around the same time, he noticed a story in the paper about a jewelry store robbery in which a police officer and a father of five was killed.
He learned one of the convicted killers shared his name.
While Wes Moore the Rhodes Scholar would become a combat veteran in Afghanistan and a White House fellow, Wes Moore the convicted felon was sentenced to life in prison. Their correspondence through letters and prison visits led to the release of the book "The Other Wes Moore" this spring.
"The name was the first thing that drove me," said Moore, 31, on what inspired him to befriend the inmate.
Other people may have wondered who also lays claim to their name. Google a relatively common name such as "Steve Jones," and a biologist, musician and golfer appear. And Steve is not even among the Top 10 boys' names of the last century.

Portmanteau (Word Blending) Names
BNG BLOG
 If you wanted to blend two words together, the result would be Portmanteau (port'măntō). A word coined by Lewis Carroll in 1882. Portmanteau is the process of combining two different words together with completely different meanings to form a new word with a new meaning. Portmanteau Baby Names are two names combined together to form another name. There are many names that people create that may be included in the Portmanteau repertoire. Chrisanna is a combination of Chris and Anna. Chris means “Follower of Christ or anointed” and Anna means “Grace”. Now, you could take Anna and combine it with Bella, which means “Beautiful”. Annabella is your result, and it means “Beautiful grace”. Do you get the pattern. Let's take another twist. Anna combined with Maria, which means “Bitter” gives you the result Annamaria. Guess what Annamaria means? That's right... “Bitter Grace”. We can just go on, and on, and on. Let's take Maria and combine it with Rose “Flower”. The result is Rosemaria, which means “Bitter Flower”. CLICK HERE for more of the article.
