Obviously I'd go with more Westernized spellings for many of these, given my culture, but Russian names are certainly interesting!

Thank you for making the post this month! I have quite a few changes from last month:

Nicholas Evander
Wesley Owen Rhys
Finn Gabriel
Donovan Leo
Malcolm Elliott
Dominic Edwin
Adam Raphael
Elias Ambrose
Luke Edmund James
Jonathan Bennett
&
Alexandra Philippa
Sabrina Lily
Miranda Josephine
Violet Evangeline
Felicity Charlotte
Juliana Celeste
Yvonne Ophelia
Philomena Lenore
Sylvana Lydia
Callista Margot

Elias and Luke replaced Dorian and Ezra; and Alexandra, Violet, Yvonne, Philomena, and Callista replaced Aludra, Esme, Linaria (which I realized I'd been pronouncing wrong - turns out it's lie-NER-ee-uh, not li-NAHR-ee-uh), Morwenna, and Autumn. Honorable mentions go to Nathaniel, Sawyer, Katrinel, Josephine, and Maude for first names as they were in my Top 10 in the middle of the month.

I am not completely decided on the combos for Yvonne and Philomena, so if anyone has other ideas I'm all ears (or eyes, in this case, because I'd be reading)!

Since I did not participate in the May 2012 thread, there is no ten-year comparison.

I like:

Oberon
Odysseus (!)
Tadeusz
&
Eurydice
Filomena (though I'd spell it Philomena)
Ismena
Ksenia (though I'd opt for Xenia)
Linnéa
Lucrezia (!)

There's a large Polish community near me, so I've heard names like Tadeusz in real life and have thought a lot of them sounded really cool. And for many of these I'd use the more "western" spellings, though I understand the ones you've chosen make more sense in Poland.

I remember liking Cassander many years ago, but it sounds too much like Cassandra to me now so I can't get into it. :-(
