Aw, this is a great list. Some lovely names in there. I keep coming across Quirin in 17th and 18th-century wills - nice to see it in the 21st century for a change! Yay for Nimrod, too. And Zoltan.

I was rater impressed to see a Nimrod, too. First time I see it used.
Quirin is one of the few Q names that I like; it pops up in current BAs off and on, so let's wait and see if it comes back in style (like Ferdinand and Ludwig apparently did, at least in certain areas).

When I first saw Tudor, I immediately thought "WELSH", too - but looking at his middle name I'd say he's probably Romanian.
One way or the other, I think Tudor is an appealing choice.

Gladys Chloe - This is adorable! Not something I would ever come up with, but now that someone else has, I love it.
Ilvy Sophie - So this is ILVY? I thought it was a double I; I had to change the font to check. I have to say, I like Ilvy a lot.
Linda Henriette - Very traditional-sounding, but cute at the same time.
Thalia Apollonia - Apollonia!
Aino Elvira - I like it.
Clara Luise - I love Clara.
Luzie Emilia Aurélie - This is amazing! Luzie is cute, I like it.
Stella Blanca - Wow, this is dramatic like nothing else. It sounds more like a castle to me than a little girl, but I like it in theory.
Lucie Josefine - Cute! Lucia Josephine or Lucie Josephina would suit my tastes better.
Teresa Elvira Stephanie - Whoa. This combo has everything, doesn't it? Teresa Stephanie Elvira would flow better for me.
Veronika Franziska Theresa - I like it. Very pretty, but I have to admit I don't like all this Teresa / Theresa. Bad associations.
Freya Agatha Anna - A lot of "-a" going on here. Freya Agnes Anna might work better?

Gladys Chloe works surprisingly well, doesn't it? I'd never have thought of putting these two together, but I think the combo is really sweet.Ah, yes, it's ILVY. Ilvy is a fairly new name here; it's either a variant of Ilva / Ylvie / Ylva or a variant of the Latin word Ilva for the island of Elba. Or so the authorities say.Esra does look like a feminine form of Ezra, doesn't she? However, Esra is quite popular Turkish girls' name. I'm not sure but I assume that it's the Turkish form of Isra. Maybe.Anyway, I'm glad you liked the list. And I really enjoyed your comments. Thanks! :-)

It is, I noticed a while ago.ETA: You know, I think we should send Hubertus & Quirin to Mike. They should be in the database, they're so traditional.

I agree, we should. Maybe we should compile a list as there are some others missing as well...

Yeah, overall they were pretty good this time, weren't they?
A few weeks ago, I found a Tiberius (middle name only, but still)... alongside a Nevaeh...I'm not sure about Fotini but I think she might be the modern Greek form of Photine.Hubertus, Korbinian and Nepomuk are quite old (and/or traditional) southern names (these BAs were from the South). Nepomuk is the patron saint of the bridges.
Ha, I didn't check if the names were in the database before I posted:
Luzie/Luzia is the traditional German form of Lucie / Lucia (you don't see them often these days, that's why I included them).
Quirin is the modern form of Quirinus (who would have thought, hm? ;-) ), Balduin is the German form of Baldwin and Bertel is a variant of Bartel.
