Names from Calisthenics Competitions - part 2
Calisthenics is a uniquely Australian sport, sort of a combination of ballet and rhythmic gymnastics with a bit of acrobatics and marching drill thrown in. It’s competition season for some of the state organisations and they are posting their winners etc on Instagram so I did a bit of name-gathering.Calisthenics tends to be disproportionately popular with the Italian, south-eastern European, and south-east Asian immigrant communities which skews the name style a bit, but not as much as one might think!These are all girls from South Australia.JUNIORS:

This set of names feels very European!I like/love Abbey, Amelie, Anais, Annika, Emma, Isabelle, Lilly, Luella, Stella, Summer, Zara-Rose, Amber, Arabella, Billie, Calypso, Emma, Estelle, Isabella, Kadence, Laura, Liliana, Lisa, Olivia, Payton, Ruby, and Stephanie.
Imogen, Stella, Daisly, Laura (Yay!), Maria, Olivia, PollyAbbey is very ecclesiastical. Abbie, further down, looks more human, but if only they'd been Abigail the nns would have been tweakable. Havannah and Savannah got me giggling.Oops - that would be Daisy!
