For some reason Tacoma makes me laugh, like a lot. It might be because my knowledge of Tacoma is limited to commercials for monster truck derbys at the Tacoma Dome when I was a kid. A boy named Celestine is interesting. I like:
Kathryn Athena
Oona
Aurora Lillian
Luciana Marcella
Olivia Lila
Madelyn Albertine - would prefer Madeline
Emma Jane Vivian
Daphne Judith
Catherine Annette
Gemma Kirsten
Freya Victoria
Eleanor Vera
Ruth June
Mila Zofia (dad is from Poland)
Clara Ruby
Cecilia Gwendolyn
Josephine Lily
Ada Pauline
Beatrice
Phoebe Rose Maria
Vivian CharlotteApollo James

I'm tempted to give as a name, the town where I live, which isn't nearly so pretty as Savannah Georgia.
The middle name would be New Brunswick. :-)

This is a lot to unpack. What is the time frame? Are these from newspaper birth announcements?I didn't know what to make of Siddaleigh. According to Namipedia, Siddalee is the name of a character in The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Siddaleigh is also the name of a character in a 2014 romance novel.It's awesome to see Oona in use. Persephone, too. Ryett is certainly a creative variant of Riot...not exactly the sort of name I would expect to see paired with Persephone.Mythology is certainly not lacking, what with Persephone, Odin, Apollo, Athena, Freya and Thor.Eowyn, Atreyu and Sansa-Claire - it would be fun to be an author whose invented names were adopted into real-life use.I can't fathom why, out of all the possible names in the world, anyone would choose to use "Opie" for their son.It's really neat to see all the variety in this list.
