There are some differences between last month and this month, with a name in the masculine list that I don't think has ever been there before...
Dominic
Donovan
Finn
Isaac
Jonathan
Malcolm
Nicholas
Richard
Warren
Wesley
&
Audrey
Elaine*
Josephine
Julia
Lauriana
Mary Emma (double name)
Olivia*
Ruby*
Sabrina
Veronica*
(Names with an asterisk are ones I cannot use in real life, at least not as first names.)
Jonathan, Warren, Audrey, and Ruby replaced Asa, Kieran, Miranda, and Zoe. This is the first time in ages that Miranda hasn't been in my Top 10. It just fell out. In addition, I don't think Warren has ever been in my Top 10 before. I've always liked it, but other people seem to think it's an "old man name."

Top 10 Combos for May 2025
I'm making a separate reply for the actual Top 10 "usable combos" I have for May, which is a different list and not to be considered for BtN's favorite names (if anyone is still compiling the data for that). It's different because this list doesn't consider the "unusable" names; so, in this case, there are 4 different first names on the feminine list:
Wesley Owen Rhys
Nicholas Wolfgang
Richard Arthur Hugh
Finn Gabriel
Donovan Leo
Malcolm Elliott
Dominic Edmund
Warren Matthew Graham
Isaac Evander
Jonathan Bennett
&
Sabrina Lily
Julia Seraphine
Josephine Iris
Mary Emma Alexandra
Lauriana Celeste
Audrey Eleanor
Miranda Violet
Ursula Katherine
Delara Madeleine
Zoe Anastasia
As you can see in the feminine list, those names from last month that were eliminated were still pretty close to the top.

I've always thought Barnaby was ridiculously cute.
Somebody else that likes Blanche! Hooray!
Yay!
Ten? Really? Oh well, all right. Names with * are honouring, one way or another. I've tried not to use names I've already given to my children, but Alastair and David just had to be there. I would also have included Peter*, Caroline*, Beatrice*, Mary*, Elizabeth* and Anne*.
