Baby Name Ideas for Christmas Due Date

2009-07-28T14:57:00Z

In looking for baby names for a baby due around the holidays I learned that Natalia is Latin and the exact feminine equivilant of Noel. Natalia is derived from the phrase 'natale domini' (birth of the Lord) and it used to be given to girls born during the Christmas season. Noel is the French word for Christmas.

So now you have a name suggestion for a boy or a girl. Other variations are Natalie or Natasha but you might also consider Mary or Noelle for girls or Christopher, Chris, Christian, Michael, Joseph or Nicholas for a boy.

Have fun!

Zack and Miri

2009-03-04T21:14:00Z

The movie Zack and Miri is pretty good. It would seem that writer / director Kevin

Smith, (also known as "silent bob") can't do any wrong these days.

Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogan, (also from "Super Bad" and "Pinnaple Express") make an interesting team.

For more information about each of these characters' baby names, visit their respective baby name pages:

Zack
Miri

They're both great names on their own, (aside from any ties to the movie). Either one of them would make a great choice if you're looking for that perfect baby name.

If you haven't already seen it, we recommend that you pick up Zack and Miri, it's worth the time/money for sure!

For more information about the movie, see the imdb site: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1007028/
