I couldn’t help watching all these rousing speeches from some pretty incredible American women and wondering: are moms and dads out there watching and thinking, “I could name my baby girl after her”? If you weren’t, you should have been! These women are a sign of how far our nation has come from the day when ladies couldn’t even vote, forget actually running for office! And there’s a host of fabulous baby girl names we can think of from both the Democrats and the Republicans: Since the DNC just wrapped up last night, let’s start there, shall we? Michelle — The First Lady’s first name is a classic: feminine but strong too. Claudia — Retired Lieutenant General Claudia Kennedy’s name isn’t used very often, but it’s a nice way to show off a family’s German roots. Sandra — It has served speaker Sandra Fluke well … and there is a certain former Supreme Court Justice who has this name too! Lilly — It’s coming back into fashion, and Lilly Ledbetter may have a thing or two to do with that. Cecile — The President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund who spoke this week gives us a return to the French version of Cecilia. Maya — The president’s sister’s name could be spelled Maia too. Jill — I may be a bit partial here considering my daughter’s name is Jillian, but the wife of the vice president has one a girl can grow old with! Elizabeth — Let’s face it, Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s name is never going out of style. Nydia — Congresswoman Nydia M. Velázquez has a name that’s unusual but beautiful. Diana — Another pretty name comes from Congresswoman Diana DeGette of Colorado. And now for the RNC: Ann — Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s wife’s name is often used as a middle name, but she could help bring it back to the front! Mary — You don’t meet many of these anymore, although it’s done no disservice to Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, that’s for sure! Maybe it’s time to bring this classic back? Rae Lynn — For parents who like two-part names, go for naming a girl after Rae Lynne Chornenky, president of the National Federation of Republican Women. Mia — The mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah has a moniker perfect for pairing with lengthy last names. Jane — Mitt Romney’s former workforce secretary from his days as Massachusetts’ governor has another one of those throwback names I’d love to see come back! Nikki — Is it any surprise that a governor would have a name that means victory? That’s the kind of meaning that could be auspicious for a little girl … like South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley! Susana — The governor of New Mexico gives us a nice twist on Suzanne. I could see a little girl being called Ana OR Suze. Kerry — The woman who served as Mitt Romney’s lieutenant governor has a name that plays right into the current trend in turning to Ireland for babies! Pam — The attorney general of Florida, Pam Bondi, gives us another strong female name. The longer, Pamela, has a sweet connotation too — it means “honeyed” in Greek. Jackie — To name a girl for Congressional candidate Jackie Walorski, you can go for short or something longer like Jacqueline. What’s your favorite from this list? Any you would add?
