There’s going to be a lot of fluctuation in my top 10s moving forward for a while. I don’t have a dependable list anymore.
_
My December list from 2017 (with notes):
• Annalise
Note: Still love it. Still on the PNL, but spelled Anneliese.
• Coraline
Note: Still on my top 10!
• Eleanor
Note: Still love it. Still on the PNL, but spelled Elinor.
• Elizabeth
Note: Still love it. Still on the PNL, it’s just too common.
• Esmeralda
Note: Don’t love it nearly as much anymore. It fell off my PNL but I still find it pretty.
• Georgia
Note: I used to love Georgia names (Georgia, Georgiana, Georgina). I still like them but not nearly as much, I don’t have any of them on my PNL anymore.
• Jacqueline “Jackie”
Note: I used to adore Jacqueline “Jackie.” I find it quite dated now. It’s no longer on my PNL.
• Nora
Note: I just find Nora bland. It’s not on my PNL anymore.
• Penelope “Penny”
Note: I used to love Penelope “Penny.” I now favor Nell as a nickname for Penelope, though more than that I prefer Nell just on its own, I’m not super fond of Penelope anymore.
• Sybil
Note: I still love it, and it’s probably the most consistent name on my top 10.
• Alexander
Note: I still love it, it’s still on my top 10.
• Anton
Note: Don’t really care for much anymore.
• Ashley
Note: Same as above. I prefer Ashton or just Ash as far as Ash- names go, though none of them especially intrigues me anymore.
• Christopher “Kit”
Note: I still love Kit, I just prefer it on its own these days.
• Julian
Note: Still love it, it’s still on my top 10. Probably my most consistent boy name next to Alexander.
• Linus
Note: I still like it, I just don’t love it.
• Oliver
Note: Bland.
• Quentin
Note: It went from sounding soft to sounding wimpy to me. I’m over it.
• Tristan
Note: Still love it, it’s still on my top 10.
• Wilfred
Note: I don’t like this at all anymore.
• Colette
• Coraline

From your current list, I like:
Colette
Diana
Jane
Lydia
Violet
&
Ciarán (I'd more likely use Kieran, though)
Devin
Everett
Julian (in my Top 10, too!)
Tristan
From your list 10 years ago, I like:
Annalise (though, like you, I prefer Anneliese)
Eleanor (in my Top 10, too!)
Elizabeth
Esmeralda
Jacqueline (I am more partial to the French pronunciation; and Jackie is fun)
Penelope (but not Penny, since it's the lowest denomination of coin; I also prefer Nell as a nickname)
&
Linus (makes me think of Linus Larrabee from Sabrina, though a lot of others probably think of Charlie Brown)
Wilfred (it's a shame you don't like this name anymore, I actually prefer it to the overused William)
Colette

Jane
Lydia
