First, I love your name lesson and am also stealing it for my own use. You must all be on to me now!!!! Second, taking it this step further is a great idea. I read "each little bird that sings" by Deborah Wiles. It is a National Book Award Finalist. I love the names she uses like, Comfort and Declaration. All of the Hillary McKay books, Saffy's Angel and Indigo's Star for instance. I think kids could run with this.
