FabNames Spotlight - Clark

Not only is this a traditional first name, but a traditional surname as well - causing it to fall into two of our categories:
  1. Traditional Namer
  2. Classic Unique
While you've heard of this name, no doubt many times, it isn't extremely common - last year it was only ranked #698; much lower than we would have thought! It has English, Scottish, and Latin roots, from the Latin clericus meaning "scribe", "secretary" or a scholar, referring to someone who was educated. It works great as a first, middle, or last name.

We love it. Simple and classy.

FabNames Pair of the Week: Miles & Suzette

-Miles is a name traditionally of Latin origin, but because of its recent popularity, it brings a more updated style to a sibling set than many other traditional boy's names. Miles has been a name for famous artists, colleges, cities, and more. We love its cool feel and versatility with last names or siblings of any gender.

-Suzette has traditional origins in France as a variation of the name Hebrew name Susan. The name is commonly associated with Crepe Suzette, a traditional French dessert with caramelized sugar, orange juice, and Grand Marinier. What a sweet connotation to bring to this sweet name!
