It seems i never did a mid year post last year, so I will do the whole year in one post! Baby girls born to family and friends in 2021:
Abby
Amelia
Cameron
Cora
Elizabeth
Hailey
Haven
Kaia
Marlow
Mia
Morgan
Penelope
Olivia
What do you think? What names have you heard given to babies recently that you either loved or hated?
I love [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is lovely as well! I’ve got a soft spot for [name_f]Cora[/name_f] as well, as I have a new cousin named this. 
I’ve heard of babies born this past year named [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_m]Enzo[/name_m], [name_u]Willow[/name_u] (g), [name_m]Pierson[/name_m], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], and [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] are by far my favorites of the group! Good old-fashioned classics.
Ooh a [name_u]Haven[/name_u]! And a [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] and [name_u]Marlow[/name_u]!
I never met a Haven! I will always love Olivia.
Recently I’ve heard of a: Brielle, Heidi, Allira, Isabella, Charlotte, Willow, Penelope & Hazel (twins), Hunter, Addison and Millie.
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] again!
Here are my thoughts on the girls:
Abby-I think that it’s fine for a nn.
Amelia-Love it! [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s super popular, it’s just the most smart, beautiful, kind lovable classic.
Cameron-Meh, not my cup of tea. Kind of trendy & masculine.
Cora-This is nice enough. It doesn’t super excite me, but it’s fine.
Elizabeth-Smart lovely classic.
Hailey-I do prefer [name_f]Hayley[/name_f], but it’s a sweet name. A tad 90s & trendy, but I like it anyway.
Haven-Meh. Not a fan of this one. It doesn’t sound pretty to me.
Kaia-This is nice. It’s not a name that I’m usually into, but it’s not unpleasant.
Marlow-I don’t know if I care for this one. Feels too modern for my tastes.
Mia-Aw, I love [name_f]Mia[/name_f]. The kitty who looks like your kitty was [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mia[/name_f], so I’m a bit biased to those names.
Morgan-Meh. See [name_u]Cameron[/name_u].
Penelope-Super cute & fun. I love it for the nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f].
Olivia-Obviously way over done, but still a beautiful elegant name.
Thanks for sharing. 
i really like kaia!
I’m excited and pleased to see Cora, Kaia and Marlow!
I don’t know that many babies born last year but a friend had a little Kitty, which I really like
