I haven't seen you on these boards in a while, if I'm not mistaken. Did you go on a trip or something alike? Anyway, it's good to see you back, I hope you're well.
I'm surprise to see some of these used only twice. I would've expected Ria, Yip, Jesse & Cora to have been used more.
I like:
Fox (GP)
Loki (GP)
Orion
Thaddeus
Zacharias
Ambrosia
Everdine (GP)
Fabiana
Jesse (only the Dutch pronunciation)
Muze (GP)
Odessa
Soleil (GP)
Winnie

I'm good, thanks :)
I've been living at my boyfriend's house, while my parents have occupied my own house. At his place I just don't go on internet that often anymore. It's just not part of my routine now and I don't have my own computer here..

BOYS:
Avi - I like this. It is simple yet strong. I am surprised only two children were gieven the name. I expect it to have a small boost in popularity in the States since one of the members of Pentatonix (acapella group) has the name, and the group is becoming quite popular.
Bear - nota fan. I totally understand that some people see strength in this name, I see Teddys.
Curtis - Way more than two children were given this name in ths States last year. I am sure it might seem a little less usual in the Netherlands, but I consider this a very strong name- even if it is a bit old-man-ish.
Dana - never liked this on boys. I know it is unisex, but I prefer it on girls... maybe because all of the boys I have met with this name are quite feminine as well.
Elvis - Bold choice. But, it is technically still a name despite the Rock Icon attachment. I love that two parents used it.
Fox - This is getting some attention in hipster circles. I would be interested to find out how popular it is worldwide - since we can see that it is not so popular in the Netherlands.
Glory - Cool name. My first thought would have been girl - but there is no reason it can't be used on a boy. I happen to like this.
Hendrick - eh. This name does nothing for me.
Indra - On a boy? Hmm. Well it is interesting and a solid name... so why not? I wouldn't use it myself, but I think it's a unique choice.
Jean-Pierre - oh, hunh, hunh! Ze French. I like French names... so I like this. It's so stereotypical; I love it.
Kei - NOt a fan. I read Koi at first, which would have been cooler.
Loki - I am not on this bandwagon, so I am chagrined to see that Loki is being used overseas too, but delighted that only two children have it.
Marly - fan.

Do you know if Everdine is meant to be connected to Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games? I quite like it spelled Everdine for a name. (Please excuse my ignorance if it is related to an actual name instead!)
