NEW! Baby Name Recommendation Tool Nymbler

Foundation for Early Learning is excited to announce a partnership with Icosystem to use their baby name recommendation tool, Nymbler. This free service enables expectant parents to enter in one or a series of boy or girl names. The system then provides recommendations based on the names provided. You can adjust what names you prefer based on the results and can narrow your name research from there.

Try it out here.


Another really helpful feature is that you can click on each name and Nymbler provides information on how popular the name is, if the name is gaining in popularity and other names with similar popularity. All this is helpful for a parent or family member who is research names for a baby or just to learn more about your name or your child's.


I tested out the service and discovered this about the name "Joel".
A boy's name of Hebrew origin that is found in the Old Testament. Joel was most popular in 1985 and is currently ranked #113 among the U.S. boys' names. Meaning: Hebrew: God is willing. Bible: an Old Testament Hebrew prophet.

I found the service easy to use and actually a lot of fun. Try it out and let me know what you discover and be sure to recommend it to your friends.
