1.Callum-FYI dh hates this one
2.Declan

4.Silas
5.Taggert- dh HATES this one too
Girls:
1.Tallula
2.Cordelia
3.Romilly
4.Felicity- dh HATES this one
5.Isadora
Dh was willing to play too, but not for the full top 5…
Boy:
1.Declan
2.Dylan
3.Atticus
Girl:

I kwym! I keep seeing the name Jasper popping on up on people's lists and I honestly don't have it on my list for any other reason than that it's been stuck in my head as a great name for a few months now. I hadn't seen it mentioned here really at all (but I've only been lurking off and on of late, not daily like I was previously. cough cough ;)).
Amy :-) dw to Jerry; CPST and HS Mom to 4 great kids and hopefully more!

As difficult as it was to cut it down to 5, here they are:
Naomi Virginia*
Matilda Scarlett, possibly nn’d Maisie
Anastasia Madeleine, possibly nn’d Daisy
Ruby Keziah*
Willa Maeve
Asa Benjamin*
Elijah
Jasper
Eoghan/Owen
Rowan, possibly nn’d Rory**
* Ruby and Virginia are my grandmother’s and mother’s names, respectively. Benjamin is also a family name. Keziah is the name of a favorite children’s book character.
** Ironically, Rowan is a diminutive form (little red one) while Rory is not (red king), but in English usage, Rory is the more “nickname-y” of the two, so there you go!
What a fun little game. Here are mine though a few I wouldn't use or couldn't use:
Katerina nn Kat
Tabitha
Sabrina
Eleanor
Chloe
This is hard because I have 2 boys
Beckett
Ezra
Roman
Alexander nn Xander
Elijah
Girls:
1. Madelyn
2. Audrey
3. Annabelle
4. Briana
5. Avery
Boys:
1. Brody
2. Lucas
3. Owen
4. Ashton
5. Tyler
