Girls:
Zenobia
Octavia
Carmen
Nadezhda nn "Nadia"
Melisande / Melusine
Ceres / Circe
Verity
Rosamund
Zipporah
Artemisia
Felt like completely rehashing my girls' top 10 with more names that are just on my mind atm, my old favourites were starting to feel a bit stale. Carmen might be slipping down the ranks finally, I'm just not as in love with it as I used to be (for a long time) I guess... also I've gotten a lot of negative feedback on it recently, which might actually have affected me more than I thought. I'm also feeling frilly atm I guess.
Just missed off Celaeno, Alcyone and Tanith, liking all three of those quite a bit recently. Meredith maaaay be edging on the list this month too.
ETA: Wulfrun. Might be getting a bit obsessed with Wulfrun.
Boys:
Oscar
Balthazar
Jasper
Mathias
Dmitriy
Ozias
Wolfgang
Nicholas / Nikolai
Gabriel
Tycho
Adam's gone because I can never use it for (positive, but still) personal reasons, where it would look like a weird honouring situation. Dmitriy has replaced Aleksei, which I still like but am a bit bored of. Bored of Magnus, so Wolfgang is back... again, it's nice, but I'm just a bit over it atm. Isidore is gone for the same reason, Nicholas / Nikolai is back. Sort of liking Tycho atm. Sean is back, in honorary 11th place.

I definitely prefer Ceres with the soft "s" rather than hard "k", but... I think the best way of explaining it, is that with a long 'eez' ending, it sounds like "series", and I prefer (or naturally say) a shorter vowel on the second syllable. Not that the long 'ee' way isn't beautiful, I just heard 'series' one day and couldn't unhear it.
Nice to see you like Nadezhda too! It gets a mixed response from people, but it's one of the names that I'm pretty set on using in one way or another, and if I ever have a daughter it'd probably be the one to beat for the MN place.
