This is interesting, thanks.Theodore, Felix, and Tobias ... are that well-liked? To me, they sound so castrated. I don't know why I haven't picked up on whatever makes them appealing. It's funny, how different my ideas about some names are from so many other people's. I don't have that much trouble with the girls' names here, though. Many of the most frequent ones could be on my own top ten.

FYI:) I do this at the end of the year. All the months individually, and then the year combined (and then I combine it with all the previous years for a "All Time" result, but I usually don't post that. I did do some posts of "Names that have only appeared once in four years" though). Not that I mind if you're posting it for this month, I'm just saying that this is going to get done. If you're interested, here's the link to last year's results! http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/4199011(I don't combine spellings though, which changes the results.)

Beatrice Clementine
Carmen Isabelle (the original was Isabelle Carmen, which is pretty, but I do adore Carmen)
Galilea Isabel
Iris Wilhelmina
Lilac Briseis
Melisande Fleur
Pandora Joy
Saskia Florence / Saskia Alexandrine
Violet Constance
Xanthe PacificaHonourable mentions: Briseis Pandora, Rosalind Electra, Philomena Lyra, Astrid Millicent, Arabella Madeleine, Matilda Cecile, Théoxane Euphrasie, Iris Eudoxie, Hélisène Atalante, Léonor Thisbé, Victoire Ottoline, Meredith Ava
