Completely missed this 'til today!
Girls:
Ottoline
Lucretia
Mathilda
Beatrix
Cecily/ Cecilia (still waffling)
Edith
Florence
Zelda
Araminta
The top four are constant, still, but the bottom 5 are in a bit of flux. I still can't firmly decide between Cecilia & Cecily. IOne honors directly but has already been done, Cecily's a variant and honors without duplicating. Araminta has been added, I like her too much to keep her off anymore and while Zelda's down, I've loved her so long I can't bring myself to write her off entirely.
Boys:
Cosmo
Clarence
Lucius
Alasdair
Ignatius
Constantin
Arthur
Remus
Angus
The top four remain constant but there's movement in the bottom 4, Constantin is back on and Angus has been added. I'm digging the overly Scot sound beteeen first name/surname these days.
