As someone who has been planning to use [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] for the last 15 years… I am
stressed about how popular it has gotten on nb!

I must be the only one who had to take [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_u]Beacon[/name_u] typing in elementary school. Haunts me to this day!

I feel like [name_u]Dove[/name_u] was so exciting that everyone momentarily forgot that they named their child [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f]. 
I agree with [name_u]Dove[/name_u]!

I just adore [name_f]Alma[/name_f] 
so adding in my other favorites [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], and [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] because apparently my taste is shared by all! 
I am thrilled by the suggestion of [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] above, and I’ll add [name_f]Polly[/name_f]. A food blogger I follow just named her baby [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], was that on the list last year?
What a lovely list by the way!

I can see “[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]” climbing next year!

[name_f]Diana[/name_f], yes! [name_m]Add[/name_m] to this the fact that it feels kind of coolly midcentury now, I feel like this could be an ahead-of-the-curve revival name.
Very nearly made the cut, but pipped by [name_u]Maven[/name_u], which has been used my a couple of celebrities lately and fits the aspirational word name trend as well as its sound. But I do think [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] is about to catch on too! [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is really hot on NB and elsewhere.
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] was on the list in 2016! It’s so cute. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_f]Polly[/name_f] are some of my favourites too!
Interesting! I have actually heard of a couple of younger Vanessas this past year, you could be on to something 
[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] to Nameberry, by the way!

I feel like [name_f]Theadora[/name_f] and [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] are set to go off this year. [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] in particular has gotten a lot of time the sun being featured in [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m] and in a [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_m]Swift[/name_m] song. I think it still might be a step to far for some parents but a step back from [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] is [name_f]Theadora[/name_f].

I don’t think [name_m]Wells[/name_m] has really caught on yet on nameberry or irl but I feel like it has lots of potential! It has that -s ending, its vintage, a nickname name, 1 syllable and fits in with class mates [name_u]Miles[/name_u], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]!!

Great one! I know it was one of @sophiekihm’s picks for the Hansons too – it does seem like there’s increasing buzz around [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f]!

I was surprised not to see [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]! Bridgerton influence and nature name…

I thought it would have been perfect for them! I’m happy to see the interest in [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] — it’s very much not my style, but I read a book series as a tween with a protagonist named [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] and it’s been on my mind ever since

You’ve already got [name_m]Phelan[/name_m] and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], but maybe [name_u]Phaedra[/name_u]? [name_f]Sibylla[/name_f] also came to mind. [name_u]Darragh[/name_u] maybe for another relatively undiscovered Irish boys name? [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]? Would love to see last year’s if you don’t mind linking!

I’m surprised by how many of my top names are on this list!
I definitely think [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]. I see it popping up everywhere! Plus [name_m]Cas[/name_m] for a boy seems to be getting really popular.
I like so many of these. It’s hard to pick.
Boys would be [name_m]Finnian[/name_m], [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u], [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]. Girls would be [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f].
