Lyra. This one has the potential to be a great 2021 name! ---

Lyra would be a perfect addition @ethelmary. It’s only missing because it made the list last year! How right we were 😉 ---

Caspian - I feel like I’ve seen that one popping up a lot lately, and it goes perfectly with names like [name\_u]Cato[/name\_u] and [name\_u]Constantine[/name\_u]. ---

[name\_u]Dove[/name\_u]: A sweet and spunky nature name, and I think it will soar higher now that [name\_f]Katy[/name\_f] [name\_u]Perry[/name\_u] and [name\_m]Orlando[/name\_m] [name\_f]Bloom[/name\_f]'s daughter is called [name\_f]Daisy[/name\_f] [name\_u]Dove[/name\_u] (same might happen for [name\_f]Daisy[/name\_f], too). ---

[name\_m]Ambrose[/name\_m], [name\_u]August[/name\_u] and [name\_m]Elio[/name\_m] came to mind. Also, Alba (I know Elio and Alba are very similar to two names on the list already, Ezio and Alma, but they still seem appropriate). ---

Definitely! Those last two have also made previous lists, or they’d be on this year’s for sure. I know you’re a big fan of [name\_m]Elio[/name\_m] in particular 🌞😉 ---

Persephone came to mind! It’s quite popular on the Nameberry charts already. Also possibly [name\_f]Clementine[/name\_f], [name\_m]Alistair[/name\_m] (I see a lot of [name\_m]Alistair[/name\_m] here but nowhere else!) and [name\_f]Ariadne[/name\_f]. 🙂 ---

Benedict, [name\_u]Sparrow[/name\_u], and [name\_f]Marigold[/name\_f] are ones I see on Nameberry increasingly. ---

Andreas, [name\_f]Ione[/name\_f], [name\_f]Athena[/name\_f] 😃 ---

I feel like [name\_u]Clove[/name\_u] has been gaining traction on here and could be the next [name\_u]Sage[/name\_u]. Works for all genders and is a good alternative to [name\_u]Cove[/name\_u]. Not sure if it was on any previous lists though! Also I’ve been seeing lots of Isadora! ---

There are definitely some good ones here! I’ve been seeing a lot of [name\_f]Xanthe[/name\_f] around here as well. ---

I loooove [name\_f]Xanthe[/name\_f] 😍 I think it looks a bit alien to a lot of people but I’ve met a few and it’s perfect IRL too. ---

Maybe [name\_u]Jasper[/name\_u]. I feel like I’ve been seeing [name\_u]Jasper[/name\_u] around here a lot. ---

How about [name\_f]Colette[/name\_f]? I’m not sure if it was on a previous list, but I’ve seen it on the forums a lot and it seems to match the list really well! ---

Mirren for girl, [name\_m]Bramwell[/name\_m] for boy. ([name\_m]Can[/name\_m] I vote more than once?) ---
