Name That Eco Baby!
A for Apple, B is for Beluga, C is for Chullo.
Parents on planet Hollywood and elsewhere are headed in that fruity, foamy and woolly direction in declaring devotion to Mama Earth via naming their young.
In the roaring Nineties, when real estate and dot comers were soaring, we saw a return to the Old Testament with the names Sarah, Jacob, Rachel and Eli in vogue.
“Eve and Adam, please leave the great room until Mommy is finished closing her Genentech deal.”
Now that resources are scarcer than ever, green is the rule for everything cool. Nature-bound moms and dads can reference all good things from fiber foods and soothing teas to fair trade crafts and endangered species in getting that family branding just right.
Here is an A-to-Z reference guide on the eco-friendliest labels for your bouncing baby Gore:
Leonardo (boy) Laurie David (girl)
Xeri (boy, girl)
*For catchy middle names with eco associations, we at EcoSalon suggest: Bradley, Sara, Amy, Tina, Irani, Vanessa, Barrington, Derby, Fitzsimmons, Chaityn or Lewis.

Okay, pretty good. In fact, I kind of like the idea. But, Gore…I don’t know about that one. In naming a kid, you have to remember you’re consigning them for life to a label. They will actually have to go to school and function in a social setting with some normalcy, and so so. Other kids may not be as charitable as we are in our moment of inspiration. There is a certain power to names and I don’t want any bad self-fulfilling stuff going on. It is no light deal, because the kid didn’t get to have any input in the decision.

Kinda reminds me of Garp. It’s true, kids have to go through life with parental branding – but if you think about it, names are just a combination of letters and letters make sounds. We are all just sounds.

I just started a name blog (http://names4real.wordpress.com) where I list actual names taken from birth announcements. I have notebooks full of actual baby names. I have seen Coral, Free, Etsy, Gore, Henna, Ivory, Kale, Nash, Tiger, Urban, Wolf, and Zen already. I’ll be on the lookout for baby Jungle, Otter, & Polar.
Great creative list.
