I kept my maiden name so when I was pregnant the conversation wasn't just about what the baby's first name would be, but what her last name would be as well.

As Juliet once said, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

No offense to Shakespeare, but names are important. There's a reason why you choose the name for your baby. Whether because you like the way it sounds, it's a family name, it has a special meaning, whatever the case. Here are some links I love that delves into the name game.

Trying to come up with a baby name? My friend's parents let her older sister name her. Her sister, then six, chose the name Mary Magdalene. My friend hates it, and goes by the nickname Maggie. She's always blamed her sister.

I recently read an article on tattoos in Sactown magazine. Ben Barry, one of tattooed interviewees said, "Some people hate on tattoos and stereotype you, but [tattoos are] something beautiful that you're trying to show the world."

I love that. And it seems to be true of parents who get tattoos to honor their children too. They really just want to show their beautiful children to the world. These parents love to be able to think about and "carry" their children, even symbolically, when their kids aren't by their sides (in one case, even when the "kid" is off fighting a war in Iraq). For moms and dads with tattoos of their kids or their kids' names, the tattoos represent parental honor, pride, and love.

I recently talked to four moms about kid-honoring tattoos, theirs or their husband's, and what these tattoos mean to them.

The newest resident of my small town was born a few weeks ago and her parents named her Charlotte, which I think is a lovely name. But that's not what they'd like people to call her.
