Wow, these are amazing - thank you for collecting and sharing them. So many of these are just jaw-droppingly unique.

---

Standouts:

---

Love all the unexpected word names like Medley, Strong, Snow, Pashion, Spring, Infinity, Zeppelin, Love, Belladonna, Season, and Venture.
Also love clunky middle names like Wilma, Cliffordorna (!!), and Lois.
Kennedy Montserrat Diana Calixta - so regal/goddessy/elaborate
Ray Palmer - not quite used to unisex names sounding like an old man's first and last name. like both names though, for a boy or girl
Violet Tunisia - love Tunisia in the middle. this reminds me of a drag queen's name - i like it!
Bodie Waves - she already sounds stoked, lol
Adele-Etoile Gaetanna - schmancy!
Leviatha - whaT!!!@
Sequoyah Oceloti - powerful!
Florence Armenia - haha I love maps, too
Leora Sanité - campy fun!
Idaho Jean - I want to love how spunky this is, but can't get over the jokes she'll face.
Semper Jane - so upright, so "my dad is a Marine"
Maëlle Moonchild - hippies lol

Birth Announcements

---

Where do you find all those birth announcements? I'm also interested in naming trends.

Poor Idaho. Her parents would have been kinder to go with just Ida Jean.

---

There's a town in Virginia called South Boston that I don't like much. I'm guessing Boston's parents are going to call her Boss.

---

Venture's kind of interesting. Almost makes me not hate Grace. I think I'd prefer Ventura, though.

---

My favorites are...
Polly Blossom
Vivian Wilma
Kearney Brigid
Gretchen Lois
Zephyr Adelaide Theresa
(FNs) Violet, Leora, Florence, Ray, and Gwendolyn
(MNs) Diana, Hope, Lily, Autumn, Mary, Brightly

Is Siouxsie supposed to be a kry8tif spelling of Susie? Now I’ve seen everything.

There's a lot to comment on here but I'm mostly just overwhelmed by the fact that someone actually named their real child Harleen Quinzell.

Kennedy Montserrat Diana Calixta: A lot of these sound like somebody was just using a random name-combo generator. They're just thrown together, willy-nilly.
Willis Katie-Dot: Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?
Polly Blossom: Sounds like one of those little tiny funny-looking play figures too small to be called a doll, and it comes in a plastic flower or something.
Medley Mae: A medley of mellow melodies from yesteryear.
Strong: Good one-word name for say, a brand of deodorant.
Riglee Faye: The gum girl.
Snow Rose: Like a snow globe, only rose-shaped.
Boston Virginia: I think there actually is a Boston, Virginia. I know for a fact there's a South Boston, Virginia. Maybe the siblings are Salisbury Maryland and Intercourse Pennsylvania.
Rae Palmer: Rape almer. Never the best thing to pair Rae or Ray with a next name that starts with the p sound. Kids will take that and run with it.
Pashion: A pashion for fassion.
Ean G'lissa-Malyn: Forget random name generators, how about random letter generators?
Aella Lilith: It sets tongues to wagging until they tangle.
Milana Cloffordorna: What the hell is that thing in the mn slot?
Siouxsie Fay: Screeches like a Banshee.
Spring Hope: Rent a billboard, why don't you?
Bodie Waves: Body waves. Perm.
Adele-Etoile Gaetanna: Toilet jokes are in your future.
Osiris Lily: Wasn't Osiris the god who took care of people when they died? And lilies are funeral flowers.
Leviatha: She's huge, but not quite leviathan.
Austyn Jane: Oh, aren't they so clever.
Paxton Blu: Toxic blue paint about to be recalled.
Iona Rain: Last name Coat? Boot? Barrel?
Gretchen Lois: Gretchen has a certain charm to it.
Infinity Star: But not the death star.
Zeppelin Eloyd Mary: A blimp. That probably burns.
Laramie Blair: Make a rhyme anytime.
Love Lee: To listen to Love Lee moan and sigh, call 900-HOT-GRLZ.
Florence Armenia: Geography bee champs, they ain't.
Belladonna Susan Marie: Um, no.
Season Ahava: Can you get it in spicy or mild?
Harrison Brightly: Harrison brightly asked if there was anything else he could help us with before retreating to the kitchen.

Hi Rachel Shaina !!!

---

Great list! I have a question: all these BAS (and this research of them in general) is something regarding your work in real life? PM me if you want! :) :)

---

Woww! It's clear that the current trend is very into wordy-nature names, more and more unusual ones through the years.

---

I like a lot of them but not in the same combos. I think that just one nature name is ok..two are too much and cutesy.

---

The positive side of this trend is that the most of nature names could be unisex. I much prefer nature names than surnames to be gender-neutral. At least nature names have an own meaning.

---

I like these:
Winter
Spring
Maëlle
Jean
Sanité

---

Semper Jane: this is interesting. It reminds me of 'sempreverde' (evergreen) word related to trees, especially pines and firs. This is linked with the fresh air of mountains and a healthy cold (like staying few weeks to breathe better). I love the smell of firs&pines and I think that Jane is a strong, spunky name, perfect to be related with this image.

---

Violet
Frost (m)
Brigid

---

Florence Armenia uhm..I hope that these have a meaning for the parents.

---

Laramie Blair: Blair means "battlefield" while Laramie reminds me of Fort Laramie and all the broken treaties in the period of the Native American wars during 1800s. I would not choose them.

---

Zeppelin (m)
Star (f)
Gretchen
Zephyr (m)
Autumn

---

Sequoyah Oceloti I'd like to know the whole meaning in Cherokee.

---

Blu the Italian form too!
Clover
England (as MN only)
