There was more moving and shaking in my feminine list than my masculine one (as usual), but I don't believe that Levi has ever been in my Top 10 before. Neither has Luna (a name I used to dislike because it reminded me of "lunatic"). Briella has reentered the Top 10 after a very long absence, this time with a more old-fashioned middle name to ground it. I also think I've finally settled on a middle name for Naomi.
Looking back in my posts, these were my "Top 16" (I was still dealing in 8s instead of 10s) ten years ago:
Cameron Malachy, "Cam"
Cassander Logan, "Cass"
Hunter Leland
James Alexander Nikolai, "Jamie"
Mark Emmanuel
Nicodemus Andrew, "Nick"
Richard Thomas, "Ricky"
Silas Anthony
&
Alice India
Barbara Celeste
Charlotte Grace Clemency, "Char"
Lily Rain
Marie-Soleil Axelle
Olivia Heather Paige, "Livvy"
Penelope Wren, "Poppy"
Rose Emily Ludivine
... Alice was in my top names? A couple months ago I created a post asking, "Help me like Alice, please" (https://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/5178465), but seeing this 10 years ago means I did like Alice at some point, and completely forgot. I have to admit, Alice India does have a certain ring to it - although I'd hesitate to use India in real life due to colonialist and altogether insensitive implications. Also, "Grace Clemency" is redundant and I strongly dislike both names now, so I have no idea what they're doing here.
Marie-Soleil Axelle, I remember this combo! I still think Marie-Soleil is a great French double name. Rose Emily Ludivine actually has a nice flow, this one caught me by surprise. Barbara Celeste is interesting as well (I see Celeste returned 10 years later), if an odd mix of eras. Lily Rain is corny, and Olivia Heather Paige is dreadfully unimaginative. Penelope Wren is familiar, as that's the combo that stuck around the longest.
As for the boys... Cameron has been on-and-off the list for many years, but I remember the pairing with Malachy. And Hunter Leland was another mainstay, before I decided Hunter really was too violent. But I see my fascination with Nick had manifested even then, with a middle Nikolai and first Nicodemus! Mark Emmanuel and Silas Anthony are blasts from the past - and I remember how much I used to dig Cassander!
Richard Thomas was my great-grandfather's name. While I would still use Richard in a heartbeat, this combo is admittedly a bit bland. I'd more likely use Richard Arthur, or maybe Richard Ambrose.

I like/love Nicholas Rowan, Finn Gabriel, Donovan Leo, Malcolm Elliott, Dominic Edwin, Levi Nathaniel, Cameron Tobias, James Arthur Raphael, Sabrina Willow, Cassia Florence, Elise Ivy Odette, Naomi Celeste, Autumn Delilah, and Luna Miriam (I don't normally like Miriam, but I love it in this combination).
From the older list, I like Cameron Malachy "Cam", Cassander Logan "Cass", Silas Anthony, and Penelope Wren "Poppy." It's so interesting to see how tastes may change or stay the same after so many years.
