Clover-
Calla-
Lux- too much like Lex names, Lex Luthor
Florence- probably just following the honoring grandparents/ great grandparents trend
Waverly- after a tv show? no thank you
Marguerite- again, honoring
Indigo-
Bellamy- like the meaning, just not the name
Coralie-
Cyra-
Snow- in meaning, ok, not as a fnboys
Gray- was he concieved after reading 50 Shades of Gray?
Zephyr-
Lazarus- biblical trend
Nero-
Stellan- fine, but would someone be confused and think they meant Stella/ var of Stella?
Breccan/ Breckin- I like the second spelling better, maybe because I'm used to it.
Tiberius-
Balthazar- biblical trend
Cato- reminds me of Kato Kaelin, witness at OJ Simpson trial. Not a good image.

I like Stellan. I've known both male & female Sterlings... Reminds me of that. But with Stellan Skarsgaard I think this sounds more masculine.One of my relatives recently named their baby boy Zepherin.

I disagree with most of these. I can see Bellamy and Coralie and possibly Calla and Waverly increasing in popularity because they are similar to names that are already popular, but most of the others don't seem like they are destined for stardom. Of course, popularity increases are possible, but "destined for stardom" sounds like too strong of a phrase to me. Florence might catch on in the U.S. eventually, but it hasn't so far. I rarely encounter it here.Stellan, Zephyr, and Gray might become more popular, but it seems like Stellan and Zephyr already had a slight heyday at least on several name boards and are past their prime. Then again, names on the boards often differ from names used in general, so perhaps Stellan and Zephyr will become more popular considering that Stella has increased in popularity. I really don't see Lazarus becoming popular, though.
