What are some good baby girl names with Latin or Greek origin?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

We are looking for a name for our baby girl due in August. So far our list includes Cassandra and Calista. We are trying to avoid any names starting with A or D because our other children have names beginning with these letters. Thanks in advance for the input!
Our girl will probably be blonde, very blonde…not just kind of blonde but Scandinavian blonde and whiter than white.

I don’t mean to sound “racist”…personally, I’d rather have olive skin and thick dark hair. It wasn’t in the cards, though. I come from a family of dark haired people but my kids all have blonde hair and blue eyes and I have actually had people ask, rather routinely, if our family came directly from “insert any appropriate Nordic point of origin here”.

There is a strong naming tradition in the family of using names of Latin, Greek or Hebrew origin, though, so I’m trying to stick to it. Not all of them fit with my dear little Norse-looking kids, though. It is kind of a dilemma.

Are both candidates of our bipartisan duopoly going to debate about our Foreign Policies in Latin America?

Friday, August 14th, 2009

It means, debate about Immigration, domestic economy, education, Immigration, and Free trade agreements.

(I doubt they will) That;s wy I rather will vote for Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez.

We care more about Latin-America ( western hemisphere)
than Irak or Afghanistan in the other side of the world.

Does not matter what the manipulated US media says. The US Media sckcs!

Can anyone give me tips on the SAT II Latin Subject Test?

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

I’ve gotten some mixed answers from the seniors and I’m aiming for a 750 and my class is EXPECTED to do really well. The only prep book I’ve found is REA and it’s chock full of mistakes. My problem is vocabulary since my latin education has been based on grammar. (by the way, using Latin Heritage textbooks) The derivatives have me scratching my head and I make tons of silly mistakes. Please HELP!
