I like Pandora as a guilty pleasure. The myth reminds me of Eve. Hogan's parents must have been fans of "Hogan's Heroes."
Manasseh is a Biblical character, so it looks like they dropped the H.Some of these seem like the parent's heard something and guessed on the spelling like Marquis and Persephone.
Oh! You reminded me, I knew a Blessing. She lived in the same student accommodation with me and another girl called Jazz. I asked if it was short for Jasmine, and she said no.
I'm glad my husband didn't realise Zeppelin Metallica might have been a possibility when naming our girls XD He would appreciate that one!
But that's a big list of Why?! right there! Although I can see Future happening as a spur of the moment name after a happy delivery and I like Lumiere as a mn.
