Or, more precisely,
BAs from one of the old Hanseatic towns in Northern Germany (ok, that was cheating, wasn't it? :P ).
As usual, I only picked combos and some of the more interesting/rare "single" names. All of these children were born this year and last year, so some of them can probably already walk and talk.
(Oh, and maybe I'll add a word or two on some of the rather unfamiliar names... I think.)
The list will be quite long I'm afraid.
