Such an interesting set of birth announcements. Got to say, I was blown out of the water by the number of Ottos! Very Minnesota. My favorite combos are the laidback old guy names like Otto Jim and Otto Ray.

Overall, was pleased and surprised by the number of dated combos that aren't even trendy revivals yet. Notably: Agatha Ann, Sally Lu, Dorothy Lou, Cindy Lou, Rachel Luverne, Laura Bernice, Judith Marie, Rose Beverly, Rose Faye, June Janet, Clarise Margaret, Faye Olive, Tracey Florence Lucille, Irene Elizabeth, Louis Douglas, Edwin Marcus, and Harold Eugene.

I also liked all the Scandinavian names that cropped up: Signe Jean, Ingrid Anne, Ingrid Jennie, Berit Danielle, Tora Carys, Haakon Joshua, Hayden Arvid, Lincoln Douglas Lars, Larson Ray, Finn Sigurd, Sam Thorvald, and all the Odin/Odyns and Runes (especially loved Rune Halben!).

I have a big soft spot for nature names, the more descriptive and unusual the better. I really like these names/combos:

---

Sun Green
Aras Diamond Dawn
MorningStar
Spotted-Sparrow
Forest Marten
Red Elk

---

The names that had me scratching my head the hardest:
- Qwilleran James
- Jack Frost
- twins named John and Jax

---

I really like the sibset Jack, Betty, and Os -- and I wonder how Os is pronounced.
