Becca - Alright, a little boring, more of a millenial name IMO
Sadie - Cute, vintage, but sounds more like an animal to me (maybe just because I've met dogs named Sadie but not humans)
Rohan - Love it
Zach - Boring, possibly dated for an under 10?
Rowan (b) and Logan - I like Rowan, hate Logan
Enzo - Cool
Celeste - Very pretty
Helena - Also pretty and strong
Theo and Milo - I like these, especially Theo. They sound very trendy together.
Yusuf - Cool
James - Classic
Molly and Mimi - Overly cutesy but as long as they're nicknames it's fine (or at least as long as Mimi is a nickname)
Riley (b) - Boring
Murphy - Ugly for a first name
Millie - Sort of cute, retro, but also... mealy
Billie (g) - Definitely also retro, I could see it being cute-ish, but I really hope it's a nickname
Lara - Pretty, doesn't stand out
Éowyn - Love it, I hope she can pull it off
Joseph - Average, kind of surprised he goes by "Joseph" and not Joe, Joey, Jojo, etc.
Oliver - Good name, timeless
Maria - Also good and timeless
Jersey-Rain - Nope. I like Rain though

Jersey-Rain is odd (but not bad) and Eowyn is cool. The rest are pretty expected.

Arthur I haven't been to a zoo since I was a kid. Did you see anything interesting that you've never seen before?
Thank you for asking! I saw an animal called an okapi which I’d never seen before, it looked a bit like a big deer with zebra legs, but apparently it’s related to giraffes :D
Oh I saw an okapi on a nature show. An interesting looking animal. Two areas I couldn't visit at any zoo are the places that house the reptile or bugs. Snakes, worms and slugs fill me with dread. I would love to see a sloth up close and in person.
I didn’t go near any of the bugs (unless you count butterflies), spiders would’ve absolutely terrified me. The reptiles were cool, I only saw one snake but there were lots of cool newts!
I got to see two sloths, they were asleep but I could see them very close and they were awesome
Molly and Mimi, Millie and Billie, Milo and Maria and Miles - a taste of things to come? I do feel for Jersey-Rain.
