[Opinions] Re: Random BA's plus a question
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
I like...
Aris Achilles (I like the use of Achilles...very old Greek name, and very rare)
Amos Ray (I love the name Amos...ever since I heard of Amos Diggory. Also, I like Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies, and since this is a rare biblical name, I really appreciate the fact that they used this.)
Ashley David James (finally, a male Ashley! And I really like the combo they used...sounds very aristocratic!)
Severin Anthony (Severin? OMG, this is one of the greatest surprises anyone could ever be presented with! I love that name! I basically love any variation of Severus, although I'd really much rather see my beloved Severus used...I still really like the combo though...I'll accept this as a nod to Professor Snape!)
Dorian Cameron
Harper Angelo
Blair Fraser MacKenzie (interesting use of trendy girls names on boys...for once...with the exception of Fraser. Should have been spelled Frasier, but I still love the association with the show!)
Poppy Alice (I love the use of a very common English flower name with a very old Victorian name...very English)
Greta Katherine (That's a new one! I can't say I've seen a baby Greta before!)
Eugenie DePoincey (Ah, fresh air! Eugenie's a beautiful name...I think of the princess...and since DePoincey isn't just some name that someone could come up with out of nowhere, it's probably a family name...she's probably from an aristocratic background...or at least well-educated. You know, I'd prefer Eugenia though...I actually know someone from school named Eugenia...but it's still great to hear this classic!)
Carma Corinne
Maebe Dolores (Irish! Definetely Irish! Especially Irish Catholic...Maebe looks like a variation of Maeve, and then who else but Spanish Catholics would use Dolores? I like this combo!)
Alis Amelia (can't say I've ever seen this variant of Alice! And Amelia's beautiful!)
Babette Amanda (I have seriously never seen Babette used...chances are she'll go by Amanda.)
Divinity Christina (that's a new word-name! That should be used more than Trinity!)
Saige Lee
Antoinette Rosalie (Those are rather rare 30's style names...I'd prefer Rosalie Antoinette, though, because it flows better...I can guarantee that within the next 5-10 years we'll start to see Rosalie become popular again)
Xanthe Maia (I like the use of a very rare Greek name paired with a more popular, American name...it's a very pretty combo)
Beckham William
Otis Anthony (As much as I hate Otis, it's an old name that deserves to be used a bit more, and I like the combo)
Lennon William (I'm really happy that people are starting to honor John Lennon)
Joaquin William
America (I like the patriotism. God Bless America!)
Vienna
Harlow Faith (I love Harlow, even if it looks too much like a really unpleasant word)
Harlow Ava
Ebony Bella Rose
BTW: How does one locate BA's on the internet? I'm pretty sure the newspapers in my area don't have any, and none of my friends' parents are still having kids...I'm sure the same can be said of most of my schoolmates.

I just type in birth announcements and some pop up.
I tried that once and it was all commercial websites.
I try going under news, or type in hospital birth announcements.
