You really went above and beyond for this and didn't have to. Thank you.

(Although I should point out that in the initial calculations, you have "Juliet" twice - in #16 and #20. Were one of those supposed to be Julia?)

---

In terms of the actual names on the list, I know I've contributed (as first names) to the popularity of:

---

Miriam
Freya
Iris
Juliet
Josephine
Anastasia
Cordelia
Penelope
&
Arthur (didn't we all? lol)
Sebastian
James
Thomas
Edmund
William
Isaac
Malcolm
Nathaniel
Wesley
Dominic
Silas
Tristan (about which I've had a complete reversal, I no longer like it at all, lol)

---

That's only going by first names. If you've calculated middles, I've also contributed to the BtN popularity of:

---

Rose
Willow
Lily
Frances
Eleanor
Caroline
Zoe
Pearl
Isobel
&
Henry
Alexander
Theodore

---

(That is, if you were counting middle names in your calculations...)

---

Names that made the list that I don't like at all (besides Tristan):

---

Helena (primarily because HEL-ehn-uh is my intuitive pronunciation, and I'm put off by the fact that the name then begins with "Hell"; I love Elena, though)
Astrid
Luna ("lunatic")
Aurora (I just can't say it without tripping over the Rs)
Georgiana
Cecilia (though I love, love, love Cecily)
Mabel
Susanna
Georgina
&
August
Samuel (just can't get myself to like "Sam" on either gender)
Felix
George (I've never liked any of the "George" names)
Peter
Horatio (that first syllable...)
Flynn (though I like Finn; the L makes a huge difference)
Ari
Hamish
Patrick (like "Sam," I've never gotten into "Pat")
Clark

---

In going back through the months, I realize that I missed several of them. :-(

Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):
