More Punk Baby Names

You know I'm one of those people that likes to make lists. And one of my favorite things to make lists of - is names... baby names lists.


Okay, I've been thinking back to some of my old lists from high school... there are some more "out there" names on the list... I guess you could say, they are more punk.


GIRL
Zeegus (First saw it on a list in the temple... but I never really knew how to pronounce it... or where is comes from - Dutch maybe?)
Shelby (It's a rad car... a unisex name; I like it better for a girl... only problem with this name... it reminds me of this song - "she'll be coming around the mountain when she comes" - she'll be sounds like shelby - see the problem?)
Belly (Just because - it's cuter than Belle)
Olive (Just because - it's cuter than Olivia)


BOY
Moby (Why I liked it - Moby...still like it)
Trekiev (Why I liked it - sounds Russian... Why I stopped liking it - sounds like trachea)
Kelso (Not because of that 70's show... but because there was this really hot guy in my psychology class that I almost sort of stalked - and this was his last name)


Okay, I have also checked out my list of friends on FB and I will tell you which ones are the most unique sounding... and I will also share with you the most common names... 


GIRL
Anja
Camarie (a variation of the ever popular Marie)
Celeste (so heavenly - she's my cousin)
Crystalyn
Fabianna (sounds fabulous)
Gaelle (even better than Belle - that's pronounced guy-elle)
Galadriel (her mom was a big fan of Tolkien)
Genei Simone (BFF)
Ginger (come on - who doesn't like ginger?!)
Hafida (I recognize that this might be common in a country like Morocco - but it's not in America)
KaeCie Rae
Kendall
Lluvia (Spanish - means rain)
Lolly (much better than Dolly -which every little girl names their first Doll [Nickname though: I think her actual name is Lauralene])
Monterey/Monti (These are two different people I know)
Ratna (she's Asian - so yeah!)
Roisin (Irish - and very pretty when you know how to pronounce it)
Shante
Shealyn (my BBS)
Tenisha
Wonjeong (we called her Joe - those Koreans know how to pronounce that one)




BOY
Aury
Britton
Eef
Felix




As there are not that many uncommon guy names, I shall list some cool last names that could make cool first names:


Beck (Now that's cool!)
Corwin (Kinda like Corbin)
Deza (Sounds feminine - like Daisy)
Hug (Yes, this is a last name - but why not a first - I mean, some people name their kid Happy - so why not Hug? It could be a variation of Hugh!)
Jarema
Kimball
Ricker
Zang (Yes!)


And finally - the most common names of my FB friends:
Rachel and Michelle. So, consider something else if you want your kids not to have the name of an aunt or Mom's best friend!

The cook book for your toddler - Het kookboek voor je peuter

Image
So, I've been going through this little cook book I got from the baby clinic - the book is made by Kinderen - it's a monthly magazine for mothers and expecting mothers - and it's a great little book. see bol.com Here are just a few of the recipes I've tried: Pippi's pannenkoekentaart That was good - I gave it a 4 star **** - easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. Dessert for dinner is good anytime :) I put sliced apples in almost every pancake - which is why it leans so much. It was very filling - and very yummy. Up next: Een echt indiaantje Good 4 stars **** - another easy meal, presented in such a way that the kids got excited... Kailea, my 5 year old, is normally very picky about green food - she ate it up :) We served it with simple gravy. Ella - liked the patty, but tossed the sugar snaps aside - oh well, can't please everyone - but I try. Kailea poses for me. Dad's angry man... even big kids play with their food ! And..

Double Dipped Stroopwafels (Syrup Waffles)

Image
  I couldn't think of a better way to use an old egg carton then to have it hold yummy delicious double dipped stroopwafels. The idea is not really so new. Just a few months ago I saw Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen do the same thing with graham crackers for a quick holiday treat. The stroopwafel is not really equavalent to a graham cracker though... it is so much better. It's really one of the best cookies to come out of the Netherlands. You can find them everywhere here. Every grocery store carries them in many different price ranges. And there is a difference. That "E" brand that is really cheap - really sucks . The brand from the Lidl is a great price and one of the best tasting ones I've found. They have them made with real butter or with glucose-syrup. I personally like the real butter caramel flavored ones. Yum-yum. A stroopwafel is simply translated as syrup waffle. It's a thin waffle like cookie with syrup in the middle... much be

Belgian Day - Speculoos Hagel and Stoemp!

Image
You know what? Normally when I think of Belgium - I think of those cute little sea shell chocolates - those are so dang good. I always bring a few boxes of those when I go home to America. Everyone likes those a lot! You are instantly popular and everyone's best friend if you are carrying a box of those. But Belgium is also known for other things - like waffles and Brussels sprouts. And if they aren't known for Speculaas - they should be. Speculaas is a small spice cookie. It's very yummy and often served with coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Lotus is all over it; it's a name brand and they got it made with the Speculaas. Not only do they know how to make a great little cookie. They've turned it into a creamy sandwich spread... and now into a crunchy sandwich sprinkle. I love it. It's brilliant. And you know what - it would work great as any cake or cupcake topper. Forget those disco sprinkles - Lotus Speculoos Hagel is it!   Luckily for living here, I don
