Names from Calisthenics Competitions - part 4
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 women from South Australia.

Annabel, Emily, Erin, Victoria, Felicity, Tessa (my son's dog, but good for humans too), Linda.
I suppose making it Darcie rather than Darcy magically turns it feminine. Jazzy is unfortunate, as is Taylah. I can't pronounce Keilee. The seniors are very atypical: Bek, Carlee and Tarlie!
