This is very difficult for me to say, because I'm loving so many different names at the moment!

Boys:
Zachary Marvin
Vincent Paul
Seth Alaric
Trevor Samuel
Charles Henry
Bradley Nathan
Roy Sebastian
Kurtis Jack
Desmond Xavier
Evan Arthur

Girls:
Connie Adella
Irma Louise
Marjorie Priscilla
Dorothy Rebecca
Vanessa Katelyn
Zarielle Wanda
Lynette Isadora
Lenora Sadie
Wanda Abigail
Pamela Kate

An honorable mention is the name Delsie: I love how it's an uncommon, vintage name that would fit in with today's trends. The only downside is that it's easily confused for Chelsea and Elsie...but I personally think it's a breath of fresh air, compared to Oakley, Knoxlee, Elliot, or Ocean for a girl. I'd name a daughter as Delsie in a heartbeat; I love the combination of Delsie Cora.

Right now I'm obsessed with my children's names, two of which don't even have links on here :') I'm South African and my name choices are deeply rooted in the culture.

My son's name is Coetsee (koot-see-uh) which was my grandmother's maiden name. More info: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Coetsee-16

My daughter's name is Estelle Wivina (vee-vee-nah), initials EW after my late brother. Strictly speaking, the feminine form of my brother's first name would be Erica, and Wilhelmina for the middle. Not a fan of either, though. Had an adventure to find a "W" girl name that I like, but ChatGTP came through in the end.

Both of my sons names are on your boy list :D

How lovely. I'd love to know what they are, but if you don't want to share that's fine too of course.

My taste in boys names has changed so much over the last 6 months. It's like now I'm done naming my own children I look at names with fresh eyes, or something. I've been loving the "classics" especially.

The female list is so fun and eclectic! I love Bjalla and am reminded of Fjolla, a new Albanian love.

Thank you. Bjalla is very recent favourite of mine. I have a soft spot for Faroese names (I'm half Icelandic myself)

Out of curiosity: someone is still going to compile the stats from the 2024 set of posts, right?

Anyway, there was a major overhaul in my feminine list for this month (not as much change for the masculine list):

Alistair
Dominic
Donovan
Finn
Isaac
Malcolm
Nicholas
Richard
Thomas
Wesley
&
Audrey
Elaine*
Josephine
Julia
Lauriana
Miranda
Sabrina
Tallis
Veronica*
Willow

(Names with an asterisk are ones I cannot use in real life, at least not as first names.)

Alistair, Thomas, Audrey, Julia, Tallis, Veronica, and Willow replace Adrian, Asa, Frances, Rose, Sylvana, Vanessa, and Zoe.

Tallis is a GP that I've stopped considering a GP. It sounds enough like Alice without being as melancholic as Alice can sometimes be that I don't think it would sound odd "in the wild." And Lauriana is a recent addition to this site that makes sense in light of other Ancient Roman names like Juliana, Liviana, Tatiana, etc., so I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before, on my own. But I think it's lovely (and Laurie is a cute nickname).
