Gosh, these are beautiful names. Interesting to see how many of the girls’ names end in an โ€œa.โ€ Theyโ€™re a beautiful mix of classic and modern. One of my sonโ€™s names made it onto the UK list at #7, which is a family name. I do wonder if family names are still tradition or if this tradition is falling away?
