A lot of these are good, interesting names, but here are the ones that caught my eye:

Octavius -- wonder if they'll call him Octavius or some nn

Tobi for a girl? I've only ever seen Toby on boys (and dogs ;-) ).

Devyn with a y for a boy? I know Devin is unisex, but I thought Y's were generally reserved for girls.

Bo?

Wow, can't believe there's a baby Ingrid -- don't hear that one too often

Tzofia?

Cymone?

And I know it's getting even more popular, but I can't get past some of the unisex names -- Elliot, Ryan, Peyton, Riley, Skylar, Dakotah, etc. On that list alone, there were about 3 Payton/Peytons and 3 Rileys.

The popularity of Ainsley and Aisling continues to surprise me, too.

My favorites out of this list are:
Georgia Katherine
Connor Joseph
Liesel Ruby (although I would have preferred it spelled Liesl)
Owen Everett
Lucy Katherine
Gabriel Joshua
Michaela Grace (I loved Michaela before the popularity of Kaila/Kailey/Kylie - sigh.)
Jack Benton (assuming Benton is a family name)

Thanks for sharing this!

Some of these are out there, others are really cute and fresh.

I really like...Laila Janelle, Connor Joseph, Harrison Michael, Alyssandra Bella (a little over the top, but cute), Michael Bernard, Joshua Immanuel, Ingrid Christina (ok, although I usually really dislike the strong Germanic names, like Hilda, Bridget, Gretel etc), Sierra Ayaka, Xavier, prefer Simone, not Cymone, Jada A'nya (prefer Jada Anaya), Vivienne Helena, Ruby, Sarah Marian Frances, but I'd take off the Sarah, Stella, Nicolette Angelina, Danica Christina.

I really do NOT like...Faye (ever!), Tobi for a girl, Devyn, Lily Ann (sort of bland, and sounds like it should be all one first name, Lillian or Lilianne), Sage Kendall--is that a boy or a girl? Sage is ok for a girl, but I prefer it as a middle name, Bo Richard (Bo Dick?!), Ariana Jeshay, Ryan for a girl's middle name, Liesel Ruby (can't get into Liesel...rhymes with weasal & sounds like lysol), Raven Rene', Aisling (a** mispronunciations come to mind), Tzofia...unless maybe it's a spelling for Sophia taken from another language??, Massimo Sonny (Massimo is ok on its own...but not with Sonny!), Ave Marie (very bad. Both fine names on their own, but not together. I wonder if she'll turn out to be an athiest on account of her name, LOL).

The rest of the names don't really do anything one way or another for me. Interesting list!
