Names of the WAMPAS Baby Stars

Image
WAMPAS Baby Stars of 1928 The WAMPAS Baby Stars was a campaign that ran from 1922 to 1934, which usually honored thirteen actresses, and was sponsored by the United States Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers. The actresses that were chosen were thought to be just on the cusp of stardom, and those that got the honor of an award got extensive coverage in the media and went to the "WAMPAS Frolic" party. I find this whole thing extremely fascinating, and wanted to post the names of the girls chosen. 1922: Marion Aye, Helen Ferguson, Lila Lee, Jacqueline Logan, Louise Lorraine, Bessie Love, Kathryn McGuire, Patsy Ruth Miller, Colleen Moore, Mary Philbin, Pauline Starke, Lois Wilson, and Claire Windsor. 1923: Eleanor Boardman, Evelyn Brent, Dorothy Devore, Virginia Brown Faire, Betty Francisco, Pauline Garon, Kathleen Key, Laura La Plante, Margaret Leahy, Helen Lynch, Derelys Perdue, Jobyna Ralston, and Ethel Shannon. 1924: Clara Bow, Elinor Fair, Carmelita

If You Like Sophia, Then You'll Love...

Sophia Loren When I love a name that's sometimes just a little too popular for me I always wrack my mind trying to come with something similar, whether it be in style, sound, meaning, etc. So I decided to make a few posts detailing what I would choose if I wanted an alternative to one of these popular names! Enjoy, and tell me what you think of my choices. Now, when I think of Sophia I think feminine, classic, and elegant, and I believe these names deliver that same feeling. Carina - This lovely Latin name is one I've been really liking lately. It has all the sounds that should make it popular, yet it hasn't graced the US name charts since 2010. Coming from the Latin cara , which means "dear" or "beloved", Carina is also the name of a 4th Century Saint and Martyr, giving it Catholic appeal. When talking about the star Carina, which was originally apart of the constellation Argo Navis, the ship of Jason from Greek Mythology, it comes from a different Lati
