Tips for Parenting

bstacy4260@aol.com (ben stacy) — Sun, 20 Aug 2006 20:33:33 GMT

Welcome to meaning of names,

Due to the over whelming desire for babynames we can assume some of you are becoming New Parents. Below you will find some parenting tips That could possibly help you in the Future.

Diapers: Most babies that are fed using the PDF method usually need a diaper change at each feeding time. This means that your baby will need about 6-8 diapers a day or more. Many new parents time the diaper changes with the after dinner bowel movement, but if you miss it, you will just have a few more diapers to change during the day.

Diaper rash: Sensitive skin is a common problem for some babies and they may get a diaper rash due to a food allergy, yeast infection, sitting too long in a wet or messy diaper, or teething. If you notice your baby beginning to get a diaper rash, talk to your pediatrician about which diaper rash medicine will work for your baby.

Growth spurts: Growth spurts can start as early as 10 days after your baby’s birth. Growth spurts usually are preceded by a sleepy, lethargic day and a big jump in appetite. Growth spurts may happen again at 3, 6, and 12 weeks and again at 4 and 6 months. If you begin to notice that your child is not as satisfied with the amount that you have been feeding her previously, then she may be beginning a growth spurt period. If you are breastfeeding, you may want to add a feeding or two to satiate your baby’s appetite and to help increase milk production.

Immunizations: With all of the conflicting reports on immunizations, you may be unsure about whether or not you want your child to receive immunizations. I think that there are simply too many fatal diseases that can be prevented by immunizing your baby to take the chance. If you are unsure, then you need to talk with your pediatrician, but understand that the reason that the infant mortality rate is so low in this country is because immunizations are routinely done. Pacifiers & thumb sucking: If you breastfeed, do not allow your child to use you as their pacifier. If your baby seems to have a need to suck beyond eating, then you need to give them a pacifier. There is no "nipple confusion" between a breast nipple and a pacifier as they are very different in feel and taste. Babies will know the difference between the two. Some children do not want a pacifier but will suck on their thumb. If you don’t have a problem with it, then let them.

Spitting up: It is very common for babies to spit up, but some babies do it more than others. If your baby is growing normally, then there is no need to worry about it. Projectile throwing up is not the same as spitting up. Projectile throwing up is a violent reaction to reject the contents of the stomach and not just "burping" up a little milk. If your baby does this frequently, consult your pediatrician.

Notice: These tips are not medical advise they are just tips. If you need medical advise contact your Phyician .

Early Name Origins

bstacy4260@aol.com (ben stacy) — Sat, 19 May 2007 18:40:35 GMT

Welcome to the Meaning of Names,

We have found some interesting Information on Early German Name Origins, Hope you enjoy the Article.

GUELPHS AND GHIBELLINES [Guelphs and Ghibellines] ,These were the opposing political factions in Germany and in Italy during the later Middle Ages. The names were used to designate the papal (Guelph) party and the imperial (Ghibelline) party during the long struggle between popes and emperors, and they were also used in connection with the rivalry of two princely houses of Germany, the Welfs or Guelphs, who were dukes of Saxony and Bavaria, and the Hohenstaufen (the name Ghibelline is supposedly derived from Waiblingen, a Hohenstaufen castle).

The rivalry between the German families, both of which had large holdings in Swabia, dates from their rise to power under Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV. The struggle began in earnest with Henry the Proud, and his son and successor, Henry the Lion , This rivalty last flared up with the election of Otto IV as Holy Roman emperor.

In Italy the party names were perpetuated by two rival factions that for many years plunged the country into internal warfare. The names were first used in 13th-century Florence to designate the supporters of Otto IV (a Guelph) and the Hohenstaufen Frederick II (a Ghibelline).

The terms, however, soon lost their original significance. Among the Ghibellines were Ezzelino da Romano , Castruccio Castracani , Della Scala of Verona , the Montefeltro family of Urbino, and the Visconti family of Milan (although Milan itself was Guelph). Unlike the noble families, towns seldom had fixed party loyalties, although Milan, Florence, and Genoa were usually Guelph, Cremona, Pisa, and Arezzo were usually Ghibelline. Venice remained neutral.

In Rome the Ghibellines were represented by the pope's enemies, notably the Colonnail family, and by the republicans. In Southern Italy the terms were rarely used, although the Angevin kings of Naples were strongly Guelph. In Florence, after the Ghibellines had finally been expelled in the late 13th cent., the Guelphs soon divided into Blacks and Whites. By the 15th cent. the names fell into disuse. At no time did either party clearly represent any particular political doctrine or social class again.

Dog Names

bstacy4260@aol.com (ben stacy) — Sat, 19 May 2007 18:42:21 GMT

Welcome to the Meaning of Names Blogsite,

Today, We have a Article on Dog Names and how the meaning of a Name should fit your dogs Pesonality,
enjoy the Article.

Dog Names,

What’s in a name? This question has been asked for centuries and the answer is everything. Dog names are one of the most talked about topics on the internet and beyond. The reason is that they are fun. Dog names are so much fun to discuss and choose. Nothing feels worse than when someone looks at your dog and asks what the name is and after you reply they say she doesn’t look like a “your dog name”. I am a firm believer that dog names must fit the dog that it is for. Some breeds look like certain names just as some dogs could never look like certain names. I feel that a boxer dog always looks like a Butch or a Champ. I am not sure why but that is just an example of what dog name fits a certain breed of dog.

Some people have their dog names picked out before ever seeing the dog it is for. I am not a big fan of this because it seems, in more cases than not, that a dog will actually pick its own name by its face, behavior or personality. Some dog names have the feeling or sound of energy. If you have a slow moving apathetic laid back dog than one of these name will not fit them, unless you are trying to make a statement. I know you know what I mean, that combination does not work and you will not know this until you actually have the dog at home. If you have a goofy floppy type of puppy or dog then certain dog names will fit perfectly but stronger and bolder dog names will not fit the same way.

I find that it is a good idea to ask others. When people come over to see your new dog or view pictures of your new dog ask them for their opinion of what the dog name should be. Do not worry, if your dog has no name for a few days after coming home it will be fine. The fact is that a dog name will stick for years and years to come so wait a few days and be patient so that the appropriate dog names are used. A few days come and go but bad dog names stay for a lifetime. There are a number of places to find dog names and the sky is the limit. Many people name their dog after products, some people get their dog names from baby name books, some name their dog after other people, some dog names are colors or flowers or states or basically any other thing you can think of. Unlike a person, dog names are more acceptable if they are out of the ordinary and even strange. The dogs in the dog park will not make fun of your dog name no matter what it is. I cannot say the same for the other dog owners so choose your dog name wisely.

Personal Identifing Names

bstacy4260@aol.com (ben stacy) — Sat, 19 May 2007 18:54:50 GMT

Welcome to the Meaning of Names,

Today there is some history on Names for you to enjoy , This is a very informative Article, Enjoy your visit to our Blog....

Names,

Personal identifying names are found in every known culture, and they often pass from one language to another. Hence the occurrence of Native American place names throughout the United States and the occurrence among American families of names of various linguistic origins (e.g., Roosevelt, Hoover, La Follette, La Guardia).

The use of personal names apparently began at a very early stage in human history, with single names of persons presumably coming into use earlier than double ones; in the Bible double names are mainly confined to those who have common forenames, e.g., Judas Barsabas and Mary Magdalene.

Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian names were generally formed of two common words, e.g., Hrothgar (Roger) meaning "fame-spear."

English surnames developed in the late Middle Ages and, apart from patronymics (Adams, Jefferson, Jackson, Harrison), have a variety of origins; they come from places (Lincoln, Garfield, Cleveland), from trades (Tyler, Taylor), from personal traits (Stout, Black), and from the calendar (Noël, May).

The Irish Mac, meaning "son," and ua, meaning "grandson," were attached to family and clan names as Mac, Mc, or M' and O' (see O ), respectively. The O' was apparently not used in Scotland. The Welsh, in translating their patronymic ( ap =son of) settled on English forms ending in s, hence Welsh names such as Davis (from David) and Jones (from John).

In Icelandic the surname is patronymic, and it changes from generation to generation. French de, when written separately, like German von, is deemed to mark a noble name. Although in most European cultures the surname follows the given name, Hungarian names tend to reverse this order, as do names in Chinese, Japanese, and other languages. Spanish practice varies by country; one common usage gives a surname combining those of each parent, e.g., Serrano y Domínguez or Serrano Domínguez, for one whose father was a Serrano and mother a Domínguez.

In Russian the middle name consists of the father's forename with a patronymic suffix, e.g., Nikolayevich. In the Roman republic three names were used, the forename ( praenomen ), of which there were fewer than 20; the gens or tribe name ( nomen ); and finally the family name ( cognomen ); e.g., Caius Julius Caesar, or Caius of the Caesar family of the Julian gens. An additional name ( agnomen ) might be added as a nickname or honor, e.g., Africanus, for victory in Africa, in the case of Scipio. Amharic names are concatenations of the child's given name and the father's given name.

Native American names often referred to elements in nature or attributed special traits to the person. In the Western world a woman traditionally adopted the family name of her husband at the time of her marriage. Since the mid-20th cent. women in the United States have increasingly adopted the practice of retaining their maiden, or parental, surname beyond the time of marriage; other women and some couples have adopted surnames that combine those of each partner.

In many cultures the name is of supernatural significance. Besides animistic commonplaces such as naming a child after a lucky person or a wily animal, there are widespread taboo practices, such as not naming a child after a living relative or changing the name on the death of a namesake or avoiding the name of a family totem. In some cultures the name given the child at birth is temporary and is replaced with another at puberty, or whenever the individual attains a new age grade .

In the Judeo-Christian tradition the name has great significance, especially in the case of divine names; thus Jews did not utter the name of God. The ancient Hebrew ben (son of) was affixed to the father's given name to form a family name, although in some religious practices a child was referred to by a formula that substituted the mother's given name for the father's. Christians have traditionally baptized children with an appropriately Christian name, especially the name of a saint, henceforth the patron; an additional name is taken at confirmation. The Puritans discouraged the use of any but biblical first names.

The practice of changing names by court action is commonly adopted in order to afford a clear record. Bibliography: See L. G. Pine, The Story of Surnames (1965); C. M.

War On Terrorism and Arabic Names Disambiguation

bstacy4260@aol.com (ben stacy) — Sun, 20 May 2007 13:24:30 GMT

March 6, 2004--When was the last time you came across a Drivers License with the name "Vinny The Butcher" or "Billy The Kid"? Our familiarity with the structure of Anglo-based names readily prompts us to identify these names as nicknames as opposed to legitimate or valid names.

However, when working with foreign names, the lack of knowledge of foreign languages and foreign cultures causes us to loose perspective and creates name confusion and name ambiguation which significantly hinders intelligence operations and law enforcement activities. In many cases, foreigners can create multiple identities or conceal their true identity by using many linguistic and cultural naming conventions and variations native to their language and culture.

For example, recently, a $10 million reward was announced for capturing the terrorist "Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi". According to the American naming convention, this name is interpreted as: First Name: AbuMiddle Name: Mus'abLast Name: Al-ZarqawiWhereas actually, the name provided for this terrorist is a nickname no different than using the nickname "Billy The Kid" for William Henry (Bonney) McCarty as the word "Abu" in Arabic means "Father of".

Culturally, Arab males assume a nickname after the birth of their first born son by using the word "Abu" followed by the name of the first-born son so that the first-born son is distinguished from other siblings. The word "Abu" can also be used as a nickname with no genological association, such as "Abu Al-Harb" meaning "father of the war".

Examining the other aliases listed for this individual, "Ahmad Fadil Al-Khalailah", "Abu Ahmad", "Abu Muhammad" and "Sakr Abu Suwayd", we notice that two of the above listed aliases are also nicknames ("Abu Ahmad", "Abu Muhammad"). "Muhammad" is the most popular Arabic or Muslim name as the Muslim's prophet was named "Muhammad". As a matter of fact, 8 out of the 22 most wanted terrorists on the FBI's Website contain the name "Muhammad" in their name - but with three different spelling permutations. There are literally millions of Arabs with the nickname "Abu Muhammad" as their first-born son is named "Muhammad". The same is true for "Abu Ahmad" as "Ahmad" is one of the most frequently used Arabic names (similar to Bill in English).

Lets examine the name "Al-Zarqawi". Arabs tend to articlize some last names. In English that would be similar to using "The Smith" as opposed to "Smith" for the last name. The letters "Al-" or the associated spelling permutation "El-" are the English transcription of the Arabic Article "The". So the last name "Al-Zarqawi" means "The Zarqawi". Knowing that "Zarqa" is the second largest city in Jordan, then the name "Al-Zarqawi" means that this individual descended from Zarqa, Jordan. This is readily evident by listing his place of birth as Zarqa, Jordan.

However, this individual is identified as a Palestinian Jordanian which means that his family descended from Palestine not Jordan even though he was born in Zarqa, Jordan. So this means that his true last name is not "Al-Zarqawi" because his family did not originate from Zarqa, Jordan. In all likelihood, his family seeked refuge in Zarqa after the 1948 Arab Israeli war.

So, lets examine the alias "Ahmad Fadil Al-Khalailah". Interestingly enough, The Arabic name for the Israeli city Hebran is "Al-Khalil". Knowing that this terrorist's family descended from the West Bank or Palestine (pre 1948), then the last name "Al-Khalailah" means descendent from "Al-Khalil" City. This is most likely his true identity! His father's name is "Fadil Al-Khalailah" as Arabs by default use the father's name as opposed to a Middle Name. So, don't expect to find any traffic citations of academic records in the U.S. with the name "Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi".

The Most Important Decision of a Lifetime- What to Name your Baby

bstacy4260@aol.com (ben stacy) — Sun, 20 May 2007 13:21:55 GMT

Most people don't know the meaning of their name, but most names do have meanings. You should at least find out the meanings of your favorite choices before giving one of them to your child. The meaning of your child's name probably won't greatly affect his or her life, but may help you to make a decision between your favorites.

Many names are shortened to nicknames during childhood, or other stages of life, so be sure to think about what shortened forms of your child's name may be. Also consider that names we might think are cute for a child could be embarrassing later in life, before giving your child a nickname as their legal name. For instance - shortening Samantha to Sam or Sammy while your daughter is young may be fine, but will she mind having to put Sam on her business cards or college application later in life if its her legal name?

No one likes having their name constantly misspelled or mispronounced, so keep this in mind before choosing a unique pronunciation or spelling of a common name. Remember that your child will spend his or her lifetime explaining to others how the name is really spelled or pronounced.

Unisex names, like Chris, Robin or Terry, may make it easier for you to choose your child's name before you know their sex, but others argue that it can be unfair and psychologically harmful to a child, especially to boys who may feel more insulted when presumed to be girls, than girls do when they're mistaken for boys.

Namesakes, or exact reproductions of a person's name, even if followed by II or Jr., are quite often confusing to everyone involved. Worse yet, the child never gets the satisfaction of having a clear identity or name of his own. Although namesakes can be complimentary to the original owner of the name, consider the impact to your child, and how you plan to differentiate between the people who share the name before you choose to name your child after someone else.

Remember, the name you choose for your child will be a lifetime decision, so take your time and enjoy the process!

Baby Name Story-Fyodor-Given by God

bstacy4260@aol.com (ben stacy) — Sun, 20 May 2007 13:17:43 GMT

It's always a lot of thinking when you need to choose the name for your baby. There are many good names but this makes the task still harder. Some people can't explain why they've named their baby so, but the others tell you exciting stories about choosing baby names. I collect these stories and here's one of my collection.

It is believed there's something mysterious about naming a baby and that the name can determine the future of the child. That's why some parents try to find out the meaning of the names before choosing one. Often a baby is named after the great person – the King or President, Olympic champion or movie star.

In Russia there's a tradition to name the first-born son after his grandfather. This makes the naming process somewhat easier if the family follows this tradition.

Pavel Medvedev, an engineer from St.Petersburg, Russia, and a father of three sons tells this story.

"My name is Pavel. I was named after my grandfather according to our family tradition to call a first-born son after his grandfather. Now, my father's name is Mikhail and I thought I would call my son after him – Mikhail.

"The problem was that my wife asked me to name our son after HER father, i.e. my father-in-law. Well, I had to yield (after all it was her who borne our baby, so she deserved to name him) and we called our son Vitaly – after my father-in-law.

"Now the problem was that my wife didn't want any more children. For the next ten years I tried to persuade her to have one more baby. When I managed to do so and our second son was born I naturally called him Mikhail – after my father to follow the family tradition.

"Now, everybody was happy and satisfied. Neither my wife nor I wanted more children, but suddenly 18 months later the third son was born. Actually, we didn't plan to have him but this smart guy appeared notwithstanding! Well, there's a fallacy that a nursing woman can't get pregnant. I think many couples make the same mistake. At least whenever I see children of whom one is a year older than the other (like our second and third sons) I think their parents thought that way.

"We did a lot of thinking to name the third son and then suddenly I said he would be called Fyodor. Neither my wife nor I had relatives or ancestors with this name and everybody was surprised and unhappy with my idea. But I insisted because I was absolutely sure that it was the right name for the boy. Later on I found in the book describing baby names meanings that Fyodor means "given by God". Indeed the boy was given by God. All our relatives later on agreed I had made the right choice.

Q – Pavel, you say this son was given by God. But don't you think any baby is given by God?

A – Oh, yes, of course. But people believe they can plan their family: how many children to have, when to get them born, even to choose if it will be a boy or a girl. Fyodor was absolutely out of planning. God decided for us that we would have him. And something interesting that I didn't know the meaning of the name when I thought he would be called Fyodor. But the meaning of the name proved to be just to the point.

El Alex collects information about baby names and baby name stories all over the world. His collection is big and still growing. He is a father of three boys. People gladly tell him their stories.

Fuzzy Names/Sweet Names

bstacy4260@aol.com (ben stacy) — Sat, 13 May 2006 16:52:01 GMT

As with everything, names go through cycles of change with passing generations. I also tend to think that names have improved immensely since the first Elmas, Minervas, Bufords, and Alfreds graced the baby's room wearing appropriate nametags on their cribs.

A country of tradition, we still hold tightly to such commoners as Becky, Wendy, Mike and Bill. And being the trendsetters of a diverse time, we also like originality. Girls are acquiring sophistication with names such as Breanna and Kyla while boys are being called Dusty and Cameron, cute yet charming. I do like these names. I even think that the not-so-unique ones are fine. These names have humility and, most importantly, can be spoken without cringing, gagging, or regurgitating. When was the last time you could actually say "Bunny" and control the ruffling of your nose and the higher level of intonation in your voice? (Not to mention avoiding the picture of this girl nibbling on a very orange carrot.) I put her into a category I like to call the ‘itty bitty Bunny and Kitty committee.'

A girl of this stature serves your ex-boyfriend mixed drinks at the local dive bar and leaves the tip on the table because somebody accidentally left it there. She likes to think deeply when scuba diving and yells, "run to second base," when a tight end gets the football. This type always has straight, white teeth and never gets fired from her cocktail jobs. She's such an asset. I have my doubts about the advantages being endless though….I mean, how many lawyers, nurses, or even receptionists do you know named "Kitty?"

The next category is sweetly named the ‘Dandy Candy-land committee.' The sound of these names are enough for a life-time supply of insulin shots and give one a compelling urge to stock-up on countless tubes of toothpaste. For instance, Carmel and Candy….even a salt addict would get cheek pangs simply by the sound. Maybe, just maybe, I am a little prejudiced because my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend is named Candy. Before I know her name, I asked him what it was and he told me. I only had to ask him once….the toothache and acne breakout brings back terrible memories.

Yes, I know, you're wondering if Kitty and Candy work together serving my ex-boyfriend mixed drinks. Not only do they work together, they are also very close. Last week, Carmel overheard Candy telling Kitty, "You're the best friend I've had since my cat, Mufkins, died."

Choosing a Baby Name

Choosing a Baby Name

Take Your Time
The worst thing you could do when choosing a baby name is to rush into it. Settling for second best may affect you and your child for a lifetime! Don't commit yourself to the first name that you fancy. Keep searching until you find a name that you are 110% happy with. And don't forget that you don't need to have a name for your baby before birth. Some parents have been known to wait 2 or 3 weeks before deciding on that perfect name.

What Does it Mean?
Some parents don't really care for the meaning of their baby's name, where as others base their decision soley around it. But, in our opinion a quick check couldn't hurt. Do you really want your big strong boy to have a name that means "pretty flower"? If you have a meaning in mind, but don't know what names contain that meaning, visit NamesToBe.com

Spelling
Try to make sure you don't choose a name that ends with the same letter that your last name begins with. This can sometimes make pronunciation a challenge. There are some exceptions to this rule, but in general it is best to keep it in mind when choosing a baby name. Try it for yourself and you'll see what we mean. Letters like "l" and "s" are especially bad.

Say it Out Loud
Instead of referring to your unborn baby as he or she or "the baby", try using one of the names that you like for a week or so. Saying it out loud and using it in common sentences will give you a better idea of how much you really like the name. Don't forget, some names look great when written on paper, but sound terrible off the tongue.
