Hot List
The 2012 Pottery Barn Baby Name List Is Here! Let's Monogram Everything!
The time of year parents, both current and expectant, have been waiting for has finally arrived. Pottery Barn has put out their annual Baby Name list. Rejoice (to Jesus)! Oh, you didn't know the makers of all things terry cloth and teak were in the business of baby naming? Well, leaf through your Pottery Barn Kids holiday catalog, friend. It's nothing if not a wealth of monogrammed goodness. Stockings, robes, pillows, rocking chairs, blankets, bibs, wipes -- who wouldn't want their child's name on every single thing they own? Especially when it's one of these names.
Pour yourself a Gibson; turn on some Madeski Martin and Wood (live album); and soak in the 2012 Pottery Barn Baby Name list.
And, while we're at it, here's to a white Christmas, comrade! (You celebrate Christmas, right? If you don't, that's totally okay. We knew someone at Vanderbilt who didn't either. Well, we didn't know him, but a friend did.)

Why not replace "sweater vest" with a normal name like Ethan? Ugh i wonder how people choose names now a days...and why is Taylor repeated so many times?

So this is a list of the names that appear on personalized stuff in the catalog, is that right?
The vial they use to take blood is not as vile as you think it is.
I liked the whitey name joke. But I do wish this were just a tad bit better written, so taht I could tell for sure where the jokes were. I assume you listed the names in the order they appeared in the catalog, and that Taylor appeared several times. I didn't get the Sweater Vest joke.

@Doomy Monograming is a big thing to some people especially southerners and has been for generations for example Paul Newman's younger daughters all had mongramed things and so did his grandsons but they weren't mass produced his wife did it herself and admitted as much in some interviews

Not so much into the monogramming everything. I want to be able to use the stuff if we have another baby or give it away as hand me downs. I was given a quilt with my baby's name on it at my baby shower, but it's entirely handmade and is something she can keep her whole life. Courtney P, it is true, you do see a lot of monogramming in the South.
People, she's joking about the name Taylor and how popular it is which is why it made the list several times.

My son got a gift from my grandmother with his name stitched into a bib and burping rag. Very sweet and more of a keepsake than something you give away.
