It is no wonder that mythological names are the hottest trend when naming your baby girl or baby boy. As parents anxiously await for the next edition of their family to arrive, most feel that their baby-to-be is sure to be a descendent from the residents of Mount Olympus itself.
With the latest celebrity baby name trend seeming to go the way of mythological gods and goddesses, other parents across the globe are sure to follow suit.
Celebrity mythological baby names
Anne Heche named her son Atlas (Titan who supported the heavens), but she was certainly not the first to set the trend. Erykah Badu named her daughter Mars (Roman god of war) and Chris Noth’s son bears the name Orion (hunter from Greek mythology). Is it coincidence that the son of James Hetfield of Metallica is named Castor (patron god of horses), while Kelly Rutherford labeled her son Hermes (Messenger of the gods)? Probably not.
To prove that this Hollywood trend is hot as Hades is Patricia Arquette’s daughter Harlow (whose middle name is Calliope (Mother of Orpheus)), Constance Marie’s daughter Luna (goddess of the moon), and Will Champion of Coldplay‘s daughter Juno (Roman protector of marriage). These celebrity babes will all carry these names they can rest their laurels upon for the rest of their lives. But, rest assured, there are plenty of other mythological deities left for non-Hollywood parents to choose from.
Mythological God names for your baby boy
Some gods and goddesses appeared in both Greek and Roman mythology, but bearing different names. That just means good news for us mere mortals looking for a name with the Midas touch…more names to choose from!
For parents expecting a bundle of joy that is sure to rule the world, names of gods in mythology like Zeus/ Jupiter/Love (god of thunder), Neptune (ruler of the sea), Apollo (god of sun), and Cupid (god of love) are sure to turn heads. Or, having a son named Helios/Sol (god of the sun), Saturn (protector of the sowers and the seed), Janus (god of good beginnings), Zephyr (west wind), Triton (trumpeter of the sea), or Morpheus (god of dreams) may be the mythological moniker you’re yearning for.
Mythological Goddess names for your baby girl
On the other side of Mount Olympus is a plethora of goddesses from which to draw inspiration from if your daughter-to-be is sure to be held in ‘kept-on-a-pedestal’ status. Mythological goddesses such as Hera (protector of marriage), Athena/Minerva (goddess of war), Phoebe/Diana (goddess of wild things), and Aphrodite/Venus (goddess of love and beauty) are all divine enough for the sweetest girls. And, just as well, names Bellona (goddess of war), Vesta (goddess of hearth and home), Iris (goddess of the rainbow), Kora (goddess of Spring), Lucina (goddess of childbirth), Aurora (goddess of the dawn), Maia (goddess of fields), Flora (goddess of flowers), Pandora (wife of Epimetheus), and Nike/Victoria (goddess of victory) are worthy of their namesakes.
Whether mythological baby names are a short-lived Hollywood trend or a tradition that catches on like the face that launched a thousand ships, there’s no arguing that these names from the gods and goddesses of mythological past are sure to carry titanic strength long into the future.

Halfway through the year SPIN tipped their hand by offering the 20 Greatest Albums Of 2009 ... So Far. If you remember, the list
wasn't in any specific order. Their 40 Best ugg boots store Albums Of 2009 are, and it's
interesting to see all the titles that popped up after the last one was published. As well as the albums that missed the cut after
Cheap watches
they were spun a bit more: Peter Bjorn And John, Blk Jks, Regina Spektor, Glasvegas, Mavado, and Sa-Ra Creative Partners are
nowhere to be found. The list -- one of oh so many lists -- is also refreshingly interesting in and of itself, a fine example of a
publication stepping outside of the hive mentality and coming up with something that feels personal. Even if I don't personally agree
with a lot of it.

Many womenswear trends ultimately cross over to the men's market, but not all. Take the Ugg boot. Ugg is really punting its footwear in uggs outlet the direction of gentlemen – motorbike boot-style Uggs, rugged waterproof Uggs – but we're not biting.

Those who first favoured the wool-lined sheepskin boot were not only men, but men of a macho stripe befitting footwear seemingly named after the main ugg boots for sale conversational gambit of the caveman: first world war aviators and sheep-shearers in rural Australia.

Had been thinking about Lindsey's new vibram fivefingers ever since she posted about them on this blog. When she first sent me a photo of these bizarre looking vibram five,I just laughed at their vibram fivefingers ridiculousness, thinking 'no way I'll ever put those things on my five finger feet!' But alas, once I saw them and read about them, I just couldn't stop thinking about them! I had to try them for myself. Last week I went to Blue five fingers Ridge Mountain Sports in Charlottesville, VA and tried on a pair of fivefingers kso. I tried both the Classics and the Sprints, but I liked the arch and heel support in the Sprints much vibram shoes better. Like my sister, I impulsively purchased a pair on the vibram five finger spot. Obviously I had to try them out right vibram finger away, so I mixed a little bit of walking and vibram five fingers running in since I had read many reviews explaining you need to vibram five fingers shoes gradually adjust your muscles to barefoot running.Running in these five fingers shoe is amazing. I actually am not a running fan, but these shoes make it feel more vibram five fingers fluid, light, and fun! After running/walking in them for the first two vibram kso days, I took a break to let my muscles vibram classic recuperate. This past weekend I broke them back out for some hiking and wouldn't you know, I fell even more in love with them. Although vibram flow walking over gravel in my Vibrams was a little vibram sprint uncomfortable, the rest of the hike was extremely fun and vibram fivefingers kso enjoyable. I am wanting to work out in my vibram 5fingers every day!Most of the vibram shoes sale, the fact that it is indeed more harm than good. The problem is that these shoes in order to “protect” in such a way that they should not be his leg. After the over-built five finger shoes muscles, tendons and ligaments of the lower limb atrophy conclusions. This is because your five fingers shoe do the work, your legs and feet should do.
