This "article" (I'm not quite sure what to call it) was poorly written with awkward and unclear wording at times. For example, this is written as a sentence, complete with a period. “When funnyman Adam Sandler and his wife, Jackie, announced that their newborn girl was named Sunny Madeline.” That’s certainly not a complete thought/sentence. Likewise, “Bronx Mowgli was likely not on Jessica Simpson's short list of names for her future children,” has nothing to do with the focus of that section. That part is summarized with, “It's one thing to rule out your own ex when it comes to naming a baby, but what about a best friend's old beau?” What does that have to do with Jessica Simpson and her nephew’s name? I haven’t been so disappointed to read a published online article in quite some time. Where’s the proofreading? I was looking forward to reading this article, but it lacked sense.

These tips are really good.I hope to name my future daughter,if I have one,after me.My middle name is Kaleena and it goes so well with my fiance's last name.I was also inspired by Gilmore Girls when Lorelai names her daughter after her.
