Evlalia i have not heard of; perhaps it is a variant of the Greek Eulalia? That one was intriguing.
i love seeing Cecily, Cordelia, Felicity, and Jasper.
Tillie is so adorable, but i prefer it as a nn to Matilde or Matilda… the same with Theo as a nn for Theodore. Satchel reminds me of a dog’s name. (Perhaps from the comic strip “Get Fluffy”?)
I love Wilhelmina! It’s nice to see it on here. I also like Sylvan with it. I also liked Cecily, Freya, Anoushka, Jasper, Jagger, Alexander, Harvey, Oscar, Leo and Valentine.
These are quite nice:
Anoushka
Cecily
Charlotte
Cordelia
Evlalia-I am assuming this is a transliteration of the Greek, Eulalia. Very pretty!
Felicity
Freya
Hopi-I must admit, it rather cute, in honour of the Indian tribe, I’m guessing?
Iris
Lila
Lulu-I like this as a nickname for something longer
Shirin-a Farsi name that means “sweet”
Stella
Sterna-interesting, I wonder if this is a modern feminization of Yiddish/German surname “Stern” meaning “star”
Trixie-I love this as a nickname for Beatrix
Verity-lovely
Wilhelmina-so exciting to see on a newborn, I wonder if the parents are German since Sylvan is a German name too
Alexander
Hudsons-so perfect for a NY baby
Jagger-GP
Jasper
Joseph
Leo
Mateo
Oscar
Satchel-GP
Soren
Sylvan
Theo
Xavier
Valentine
Someone really named their child Hopi? I hope that’s a pet name for Hope and not a new “western” name ala Dakota and Cheyenne.
I love Sylvan and Verity, that would make an great sib-set.
Sterna for a girl? It sounds so… stern! Hmmm. Love Valentine for a boy, and Sylvan. Divine.
Nice list. I especially like the boys. Sorta bummed to see Hudson twice though, I thought that one was going to stay under wraps for a while so I could use it!
