Help[Opinions] Latin club names from diverse high school
I helped out at the high school Latin convention this past weekend, and my alma mater always has shirts with all the students' names on them, so of course I had to write them down.
Girls:
Aleska
Alice x2
Ashley x2
Biya
Cadence
Carina
Carly
Catherine
Cindy
Cinly (this is not a Cindy typo; I thought so at first)
Clair
Grace
Irene
Jane
Janie
Jenny
Jess
Joanna
Jolie
Julie
Karen x2
Kathleen
Lauren x2
Lily
Louisa
Mary nn Masha
Mandy
Mia
Mira
Mirabelle
Natalie
Nicky
Olivia
Rama
Ruth
Sanjana
Sofia
Trisha
Vivian
Boys:
Aiden
Alex x3
Amir
Augustine
Benjamin
Brandon
Charles
Creighton
Dante
David
Devin x2
Diego
Elliot
Ethan x3
Jabari
Jack
Jason
Jed
Jinwoo
John
Joseph
Joshua x2
Justin
Kenneth
Kenny
Kyler
Luc
Manuel
Mathew
Michael
Owen x2
Parker
Remy
Samuel x2
Tomas
Trent
Ulysses nn Uly
Vincent x2 (at least one goes by Vinny)
Xiangan
Sibling sets that I happen to know
Alex and Ashley
Carina and Owen; they also have another brother named Jonah
and people whose siblings aren't in the club;
Clair and Cynthia
Kenny, Elisabeth (nn Elsa), and Parthenia (nn Nena)
Ruth and Mahlet
Luc and Jean (f)
Jinwoo and Jisoo
Masha and Michael (nn Misha)
I also met an Atticus that was about 14, which I was kind of surprised about--thought that Atticuses would be a lot younger. And surprised that Aiden (also about 14) was Asian, because when I was born it was still mostly an Irish-American-only name.

I like:
Alice

Grace
Irene
Jane
Jenny

Mirabelle
Natalie
Vivian (I like it both on boys and girls)
Alex
Amir
Charles
Dante
Jack
John
Jonah
Samuel
The fourth sibling set is very interesting, since the names don't "fit" together at all imo - Kenny, a youthful, modern sounding name which I dislike, Elisabeth, a lovely, evergreen classic, and Parthenia, a rather obscure Greek name.
Special mentions go to Ulysses and Atticus - they're both wonderful names, especially so in a Latin convention.

Elisabeth (nn Elsa) and Parthenia (nn Nina) = Awesome sister names!! Why is their brother called Kenny of all things? sigh.
Ruth and Mahlet
Masha and Michael (nn Misha) - sort of. Masha & Misha sound more like names for twin puppies or kittens.
I know some teenage Atticuses but I always expected them to be older!

Someone on another forum I also posted this to didn't like Kenny either. I don't have a good explanation for this...he's listed as just Kenny somewhere else, so I assumed it wasn't short for Kenneth.
Masha and Misha are Russian and my understanding is that they have a significantly smaller pool of widely used names and having similar nicknames is really common. Masha talks about her friends who are also named Masha, and then there's Dasha, Yasha, and Sasha.
