I am thrilled to celebrate NameFreak!'s first anniversary! This past year has been such an awesome and rewarding experience for me. My articles have been published on
Nameberry and in
Matilda Magazine, NameFreak! was included in the list of
Best Blogs for Baby Name Inspiration on Disney Baby, I have received a ton of hits via links from several sources including
Appellation Mountain and
Name News, my
Facebook page has grown to 229 followers, and several readers have contacted me for name advice. The support and encouragement in the name blogging community has been tremendous. Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you will continue to do so for years to come!
No one can say I'm not nostalgic... after going through my posts from the past year, I have collected a list of my favorites. All of my articles are a blast to research and write, but these are a few that really make me smile.
