Re: Some recent names

Saturn doesn't appeal to me one bit. It's a beautiful planet, OK, but the god it's named after is mythologically complex if not confused. Either way, it doesn't seem suitable for humans.
Bradley for a boy is just another lnfn; for a girl, it suggests that the parents have assumed that their child will share their preferences for unisex names at all costs, even if it means that William is a girl and her brother is Angela. They might be right; or not.
Saelyn? Seems nautical. Also seems like the Rod Stewart song, which I like though I usually don't enjoy Rod Stewart. But as a name, I'm glad it isn't mine.
Isla Maren is pretty; I wonder if people might feel the need to pronounce the s? That would be unfortunate.
