Nora Jane is the only one I really like, but Lukas David, Ivan Peter and Audrey Grace are not bad either.There are some weird non names in there. Wanette? Bentli? Jalayna?Surprisingly high number of Eowyns too.**Emma**

Yeah, for whatever reason Eowyn is like really popular in my area. It started around 2005/2006 when I began noticing a few Eowyn's here and there in the paper, and then it kinda died down for a bit but since The Hobbit came out it started getting popular again. My guess is it's due to a combination of Tolkien fans and (mostly) people just seeing the name in the paper and liking it. Plus it seems like way more than it is, cause this is a year's worth of BAs, not just like a month lolBut, yeah, my town is weird. We relatively close to a major urban city but we're also "rural" so the names that turn up in BAs tend to have a strange mix of names.

I've just read The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey which came out in 2012 and has been talked about a lot. Maybe that has influenced people along with the Tolkein thing?http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Snow-Child-Eowyn-Ivey/dp/0755380533/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394626842&sr=8-1&keywords=the+snow+child+eowyn+ivey
