Currently I&#8217;m on a vinter vacation and haven&#8217;t been home since New Year&#8217;s Eve, so there hasn&#8217;t been much happening the past week (or actually two&#8230;)
So, what will Popodeus be up to in 2010?

		<description><![CDATA[Are you expecting a baby in Popmundo (or just otherwise?). And can't decide on a name until you know if it's a boy or a girl?

Well then, the solution is to use a unisex name! A name that exists both for girls and boys. I made the extra effort to check all the namelists in Popmundo and built a list of names that exist for both genders and counted how many times it's used in the game.

Read the post to see the full list of names.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Popmundo, my latest baby character was born yesterday. She got the name <strong>Io Anikonis</strong>. Io comes from Greek mythology and I think it's a very pretty little name, despite whatever drama the original Io may have had to endure in her lifetime. Today I assembled a list of all the current girl and boy names. Oddly enough, I couldn't find the name Io in the Ellinika (Greek) list as I had hoped to, but she could be found in the Japanese list.
There 38,751 total names of which 23,964 names are male, 14,787 are female...]]></description>
