Naming Stories

Are you fascinated with naming stories? How names came to be? The joys, heartaches and other emotions behind the scenes?

We love those little snippets and color commentary. You see a taste of these with many of the Name Critic's choices, but here you can read a longer story. It may or may not have anything to do with the brand itself.
