I know, morbid, right? Well I don't know if newspaper birth announcments are passe here or what, but the paper has obituaries and no births listed! But, there are still some gems. The ages of the deceased are in brackets.Isabella Claudette (53)
Edith Marjorie (103)
Clara (widow of Max, no age given)
Evangeline (62)
Morgan Lorelei (2) :(
Honore Joseph (71)
Ernie Steve (70)
Margaret Ivy (87)
Cecil Charles (55)
Phyllis Ruth (93)
Ramona Darlene (26)
Mary Christina (88)
Rizalino (79)It really makes you realize how cyclical name fashion is - that list looks like it could be the roster for a hip kindergarten class!

I agree with you about the kindergarten class comment! I love Claudette, though am tired of Isabella. Edith Marjorie is my favourite. Living to 103, wow!

Well, here hospitals/registry offices aren't allowed to give out birth information and not many parents bother with putting BAs in newspapers, so it's quite hard to find them. I check names in obits and in cemeteries all the time.Interesting list:Isabella Claudette
Clara (Max)
Lorelei
Honore Joseph -how cool!
Margaret
Mary Christina

It totally does look like a hip kindergarten class. I'd love to see a little Phyllis and a tiny Cecil. Most of the others are pretty good too - and yay Edith Marjorie! that's a very respectable age there.

I really like Edith Marjorie. That seems like it was one of my combos at some point. If not, I somehow overlooked it! Margaret Ivy is also very pretty and is a combo I've played around with. I also really like Cecil Charles! Ramona is pretty, but I think Darlene really ruins it. I also like Clara and Mary Christina is pretty nice. Honore Joseph is quite interesting.
