Last of the year and first for a while. These are mine:

---

Girls:

---

Carmen / Carmela
Zenobia
Octavia
Circe
Francesca
Leonie
Zephyrine
Ottilie / Ottoline
Wilhelmina
Elea, Elaia or Elara, not sure which

---

Zipporah and Keturah miiiight make it into the top ten next year, not sure.
Others on my mind as potential future faves:
Adelina
Artemisia
Carina
Emilia
Esti
Frida
Juliana
Lucia
Lucrezia
Melisande
Nadezhda
Victoire

---

These are all names I've liked most of this year who haven't quite become long term faves but I can't quite shake.

---

Boys:

---

Not much change, but Balthazar is back.

---

Oscar
Jasper
Mathias
Roland
Magnus
Robert
Casper / Caspar
Balthazar
Ozias
Farran

---

I feel Farran is very trendy, but it's entered my top ten due to it being a GP for a long time and recently meeting a painfully nice and lovely guy called Farran which has given it a nice association for me. It also seems like it could be the name of a badass in a sword and sorcery type pulp paperback novel, which has some kitsch appeal.

I am fighting to keep Samuel off this list, I keep telling myself it's boring. Gabriel or Raphael may return to the list next year.
