Thanksgiving-Worthy Baby Names
Thanksgiving
often seems to get lost between Halloween and Christmas—especially when the
stores seem to start putting up their Christmas displays before you're done
with your back-to-school shopping. And it's a shame, as it's a pretty great
holiday: When else are you encouraged to think of all the things in your life
that you should be grateful for—and enjoy a fabulous meal with friends and
family? If you're looking for a baby name that suits the meaning of this
particular season—gratitude, friendship and kindness—here are some options for
you.
