Would you like regular updates on what's happening at the BellaOnline Baby Names Site?

If so, please sign up for the weekly Baby Names Newsletter by entering your e-mail address either on the right-hand side of your screen (where it says "Free Newsletter!"), or below this article (where it says "For FREE email updates, subscribe to the Baby Names Newsletter").

The newsletter is a short, simple note I send out via e-mail during the middle of the week to hundreds of subscribers. The newsletter includes:

• A link to the latest baby name article, which I normally post the day before I send the newsletter. Article topics include unique names, popular names, naming trends, naming dilemmas, and more. For examples of recent articles, please check out the main Baby Names Site page.


• Links to lively threads at the Baby Names Forum, where we share name advice, play name games, and chat about our baby name likes and dislikes. (If you haven't already, please register and join the fun!)


• Several baby names (the "Names of the Week"), which are related in some way to the article of the week. For instance, the week I publicized the Celebrity Baby Names list, the names of the week included Maddox and Suri. The week before that, to go along with the article on X-names, I included Xander and Ximena.

The newsletter doesn't incorporate any fancy scripts or images, so you should have no trouble viewing it in your e-mail program. To get an idea of what it looks like, just visit the newsletter archive and read through past issues.

If you sign up for the newsletter and don't find it helpful, simply unsubscribe using this form. (You can also reach the form via the newsletter archive page or via the automated e-mail BellaOnline sends you when you subscribe.)

On the other hand, if you find it helpful (and I hope you do!), please feel free to forward the newsletter to friends and family members. If you think any of them would also like to receive the newsletter, please encourage them to sign up!
