Mumus, Carbloading, and the Names We Almost Gave Our Kids Episode 26

Special Carbloading Episode in Mumus: The Breadcrumbs Behind Our Kids’ Names

In a mumu-wearing “carb loading” episode, the hosts Brittany and Dani (after realizing they accidentally didn’t record the first 30 minutes) talk through how they chose their children’s names and the “breadcrumbs” behind them. Dani shares that her first choice for a daughter was Harper Fay, but Chris’s friend’s wife used Harper first, leading them to choose Ella Capri—Capri inspired by an Italy trip where they saw Capri by boat and stayed in Sorrento; they later discovered both of their maternal great-grandmothers had Ella in their names (Iris Novella and Ella). Brittany explains her daughters’ names: Abigail Harper (a name Chris chose, later tied to the Aristocats swans Abigail and Amelia) and Amelia, inspired by liking the name and Amelia Earhart; she notes Amelia’s strong views about girls’ strength. Dani also discusses naming her second child Claire Monroe, with Claire nodding to her sister’s middle name, and closes by inviting listeners to share naming stories.
