The Teacher Who Believed
I sat in the tenth grade biology class hoping this year would be better. I surveyed the surrounding seats only to find the same familiar faces. I let out a long sigh as my hope for a more interesting year quickly dissolved. The teacher entered the room with a warm inviting smile.

Most Popular Names for Twins
Last October, I wrote a column called “What Should You Name Your Twins?” and included a list of the most popular twins names according to the Social Security Administration. That list was recently updated, and following were the most popular names given twins in the United States in 2006. I was interested to see that my “Caleb” dropped from number 18 in 2005 to number 21 in 2006, and my “Austen” (Austin) dropped right off the list in 2006, while it was number 89 in 2005. Are either of your twins’ names on this list? If you’re pregnant with twins, do these names give you any ideas, or would you rather select names that are less popular? By the looks of this list, sound-alike names and Biblical names are hot! If you’re still trying to decide on names, check out my previous article for some tips.
