After some time away from BtN with some real life craziness (of the good variety!), I'm back for another Top 10!

---

I did my first Top 10 in February 2010 and besides a few guilty pleasures that have fallen out of favor, not much has changed. I guess that's a good sign? :)

Ladies
Elisabeth nn Ellie
Madeleine
Naomi - recent addition. SO's grandpa calls me this more than my real name and it's growing on me!
Catherine nn Cate/Catie
Hermione - yep, I still love it.
Natalie / Renata
Leah / Leia (lay-ah)
Antigone
Rose
Susannah - I like Sunny as a nn

---

Gents
Gabriel
Ignatius
Tiberius - this is SO's favorite
Joseph
Alden
Orion - If SO gets ones I do too :)
Benjamin nn Ben
James
Damien - fading though, I just don't like it like I used to
Mark - a new one...not sure on its staying power yet

Elisabeth "Ellie" has been my favorite for a long time. It honors my godmother, my sister, and me and is such a classic beauty. Ellie is sweet and cute for a little girl, but not too cloying for a woman. Unfortunately I found out that SO's cousin will be using Ellie on her daughter due this year...maybe 5 or 6 years will be long enough so that there's room for another Ellie in the family!
