There were several changes to this list from last month's (also, I noticed I actually put Kathryn in last month instead of Katherine, but it's an error that's too late to correct), particularly in the feminine names. Alaric, Tobias, Alice (formerly a middle), Edith (formerly a middle), Francine, Harriet, Marie, and Mildred replaced Dante, Stefan, Anneliese (now a middle), Caroline, Gabriella, Mara, Rochelle, and Winter. Honorable mentions go to Asa, Alexandra (now a middle), Felicity, and Rosamund (now a middle) since they were in the Top 10 in the interim.

I also played more this month with triple-name combos, which I usually consider excessive (unless all the names are short). And I allowed some similarities between middles (Anneliese, Elise, Eloise), which isn't something I usually do.

---

In addition, in the last couple months I've considered names - particularly feminine names - that I never would've considered earlier: Katherine (usually opted for Katarina or Katrina, or even Katrinel); Francine (Frances is an older favorite, and I've always considered Francesca before Francine previously); Edith (haha, just look at this post I made two years ago: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/all/5298883); Harriet, Marie, and Mildred (I like Dreda more than Millie as a nickname). And Alice was a name I would've dismissed as overly gothic and melancholic less than a year ago. How have my tastes become so... traditional?

"Arthur Timothy" is, I'm almost positive, Arthur Read's full name on the TV show "Arthur" (and book series, of course), so that one gave me a laugh. Otherwise, there are a lot of familiar faces in the masculine list, and I think there will be familiar faces there from here on out.

---

Charlotte Olivia Florence was a mainstay for some time, but I was pleasantly surprised by Julia Serena, Eleanor Audrey (very medieval), Morwenna Rosamond, and Penelope Willow.
