What is with the popularity of fenale names beginning with "Mae" or "Maely" or some such? It strikes me as American-trendy. Are they real names, or do they come from real names? I'm just curious.

Loona? Is that a kre8iv spelling, or somehow legitimate?

---

I love Arlette, I wish it wasn't hidden in the 2nd middle name spot.

Maxence Léopold

Maxence Léopold - really liking this, Maxence is second on my list. Usually I like it with Aristide as a middle but now I like the sound of a similar name to Leopold.

---

Its nice to see the older more traditional names.

Rayan- I`ve seen this often but can`t seem to find any information on it. I should probably ask the facts board.

The boys names are for the most part decent, though I`m frustrated by the prevalence of the super-Irish Liam. Insaff is very bizarre. Girls, stranger, as usual. Colleen Shirley sounds like a 1970`s Midwestern American woman. This is why I don`t like names crossing cultures: the parents have no idea of the associations with that name in its original place of origin. I really hate Ozéline. It reminds me of the antibiotic cream Ozenol. Réjane is interesting: I wrongly thought that and Réjean were only used in Québec.

I like Ziyad, Mael, Léo, Adam, Maxence, Ismael, Simon, Mila, Léana, and Elina.

Funny cause I was just making a search in the old posts and I've been reading another list of BAs from Troyes that you had posted. Where do you get them? Well, I much prefer this one! There's some interesting stuff here. And not a single Louane? haha. It's especially funny to see the juxtaposition or modern/trendy names with much more classical ones, at first my reaction was "wow, some original combos!" but then I remembered that these are French BAs, and the French rarely show their other names in daily life... too bad! I'm also intrigued by the mix of Arabic names in some of them.
