[Opinions] Ottawa and Toronto birth announcements
Ottawa is the capital of Canada, and Toronto is the capital of Ontario. Ottawa is right on the border with Quebec, so there’s a bit of a Francophone influence. I expected to see more ethnically diverse names in Toronto considering it’s the most popular city for immigrants to settle, but birth announcements may not be as important when you’re starting a new life and nobody you know would live nearby to see it. You can definitely see the hipster vibe in Toronto though.Siblings in parentheses.Ottawa:

Marilyn Marie Elle. What could make people choose Marilyn Marie - can't they see the repetition, or don't they care, or do they actually enjoy it? And Elle! Surely Marilyn Marie makes it clear that she's a She?Brontae sprains my tonsils, just by looking at it.Rogue Scout on a girl is still incitement to mutiny.The Most Culturally Diverse Name award goes to Leonidas Waldo Gary.

My favorites are Flore Marie Ella, Emma Georgette Lucille, Viola May Francesca, Lucy Marion, Rosemary Áine, Gweneth Jane, and Leonidas Waldo Gary (mostly because I adore Waldo and respect the combo's eclecticism and bravado).
