Ooof, I almost missed this month! February flew by fast. Anyway, here's my Top 10 for March:

---

Adrian
Dominic
Donovan
Finn
Isaac
James
Malcolm
Nicholas
Richard
Wesley
&
Arlette
Elaine*
Josephine
Lauriana
Marguerite
Miranda
Olivia*
Sabrina
Sapphira
Veronica*

---

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

---

Adrian, James, Arlette, Marguerite, Olivia, and Sapphira replace Alistair, Thomas, Audrey, Julia, Tallis, and Willow.

---

Tallis is one of those names that I love, but keep questioning how useable it would be in real life. Like, would a girl/woman named Tallis just end up being called Alice all the time?

---

Sapphira is another name that I've loved "quietly" for a long time. I also enjoy Sapphire, but go read the name comments--they're worse than what's left for Amber (which is also unfairly stereotyped, but that's another issue)!

---

Arlette is a name I've tossed around as a middle for a while, before considering it as a first name; and Marguerite is a very old favorite returning to the Top 10.
