None of these names is surprising, considering the time period in which these students were born.
There are a LOT of names here that, to me, are wildly overused, but I do LIKE some of them. Some commentary follows:
Not a huge fan:
Alyse (pronunciation here? If it's akin to
Alice, then I prefer
Alice;
Elise? Then I prefer
Elise or
Elyse);
Anna Shea (just the
Shea part, also these two names just don't gel to me);
Annie (as a given name, no);
Ashley (eh);
Ava (overdone);
Carly (it's fine, just not my kind of name);
Fabiola (I like seeing this used! I just don't care for it); Gabbie (fine as nickname);
Hailey (just overdone, I think);
Kaitlyn (fine but overdone);
Katie (fine as nickname);
Kayla Rae (I dislike
Rae used in this... and most contexts);
Kennedy (not my kind of name);
Lainey;
Lauren (so overused);
Layla;
Lilly (I dislike variant spellings of this name);
Maggie (kind of bleh as a nickname);
Makenzie (not a fan);
Maya (fine just not my kind of name);
Nori Kai (I feel like there's a story here);
Paulina;
Payton;
Samantha (so overused);
Samia; Sophi (just go with
Sophie?
Sophia?); Taigh;
