[Opinions] Hanseatic BAs
Or, more precisely, BAs from one of the old Hanseatic towns in Northern Germany (ok, that was cheating, wasn't it? :P ).
As usual, I only picked combos and some of the more interesting/rare "single" names. All of these children were born this year and last year, so some of them can probably already walk and talk.
(Oh, and maybe I'll add a word or two on some of the rather unfamiliar names... I think.)
The list will be quite long I'm afraid.

Ok, I guess I'll stop here or else you'll probably drown in all those names. I've many more left, though, so if you are interested in seeing the rest - just let me know.

Svea and Lieselotte are so pretty!
I'm surprised to see two boys named Dean. This is a name that I associate with the "surfer sixties".
