Re: Local BAs
in reply to a message by Ora
Nora Jane is the only one I really like, but Lukas David, Ivan Peter and Audrey Grace are not bad either.
There are some weird non names in there. Wanette? Bentli? Jalayna?
Surprisingly high number of Eowyns too.

Yeah, for whatever reason Eowyn is like really popular in my area. It started around 2005/2006 when I began noticing a few Eowyn's here and there in the paper, and then it kinda died down for a bit but since The Hobbit came out it started getting popular again. My guess is it's due to a combination of Tolkien fans and (mostly) people just seeing the name in the paper and liking it. Plus it seems like way more than it is, cause this is a year's worth of BAs, not just like a month lol
But, yeah, my town is weird. We relatively close to a major urban city but we're also "rural" so the names that turn up in BAs tend to have a strange mix of names.

I've just read The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey which came out in 2012 and has been talked about a lot. Maybe that has influenced people along with the Tolkein thing?
