Oh wow, you did a ten-year comparison! I haven't been doing these Top 10s for that long, so unfortunately I wasn't able to post anything similar.
Of your current favorites, I like:
Micah
Elijah
Leo
Thomas
Malachi
&
Willow
River (yay, River on a girl!)
Lilia
Lydia
Elaina
Hazel
Maia
Sinead (another underappreciated name, though even with Sinead O'Connor people might have difficulty pronouncing this outside of Ireland and the U.K.)
Of your older favorites, I also like:
Noah
&
Arielle
Elizabeth (Eliza is nice, too, but I prefer Elle as a nickname for Elizabeth)
I think I have more in common with your 2019 tastes than your 2009 tastes, but I agree that your style hasn't changed dramatically.
EDIT--I checked, and apparently I started doing Top 10s in December of 2010, so I'll be able to do a ten-year comparison one year from now!

It's scary to think I've been doing this (though not every month I will admit) for 10 years! I also prefer my 2019 tastes =P
