Alaskan Birth Announcements

[auroradawn]

I thought you fellow Berries might be interested in these names of babies born in Anchorage, Alaska, mostly this past April, May and June. I have a long list, so I'll try to choose a cross-section to let you see what we have up this way:

Girls:

Aila Nan
Alecia Ashley
Ara Marie
Aubrianna Mildred
Bethany Ruth
Brynn Mallory
Claira Faith
Darbee Jewel Brooke
Eva Cate
Jenesis Lane (yes, with a J!)
Jolie Kealan
Kayla Riley
Kira Ryan
Kyra Lancra (no, these three K's are not triplets)
Latrilla Faith (This is a new name to me. Has anyone seen it before?)
Maia Jo
Maria Victoria
Molly Marie (this one made me smile)
Naelani Lauren
Regan Jean
Zoe' Danielle (This one is sweet. Her daddy's name is Danny, and she was born on Fathers' Day.)

Twin girls: Maxine Ione and Kathryn Raquel

Boys:

Alexander Jaell
Atticus Benson (Atticus is from "To Kill a Mockingbird" and Benson is from Benny Benson, designer of the Alaskan flag.)
Brody Montgomery
Elliott
Enoch
Ethan Connor
Harper Andrew (yep, on a boy!)
Jaxon Abren
Jefferson Jhayden (I'm so glad they put Jefferson in the fn spot! His dad's name is Jeffrey.)
Jordan Dominiq Alii
Kael Conrad
Kayden Ray (parents Kelly and Kyle)
Miles Vernon
Nathan Ethan (The names are so similar, maybe they just couldn't decide! Their overall naming style isn't bad, as Nathan joins brothers Erik, Gregory and Matthew.)
Peter Jacob
Porter Lee
Richard Charles IV
Rudy Hulbert
Sterling Christopher Alan
Soren Argo
Xyon Adonai (if they were aiming for Zion...it doesn't really work, IMO.)

Twin boys: Walter James and Nathan Grey

Molly Marie made me smile too.

Eva Cate is also just adorable.

[agxobsessed]

I like/love...Bethany Ruth, Eva Cate, Maxine Ione, Atticus Benson, Montgomery, Elliott, Harper Andrew this made me smile {love Harper on a boy}, Miles, Porter Lee, Sterling Christopher -- dislike Alan, Walter James, & Grey.

These are significantly better than the usual lists of birth announcements on Nameberry (which I love, good and bad -- it's always useful to see what people are actually naming their children). I'm particularly intrigued to see Sterling, Soren, and Walter: all winners.

Molly Marie made me smile as well! So precious.

I'm glad to see another boy names Elliott And I like Maria Victoria; very regal.

Aila Nan - Ailment? I don't like.
Alecia Ashley - bleh, 90's and spelled wrong
Ara Marie - I prefer Aria and Maria is a bit boring
Aubrianna Mildred - different, I don't hate it, but I don't particularly like it either -
Bethany Ruth - pretty and simple and classic. I like this one a lot!
Brynn Mallory - I like it! Kinda preppy/sporty
Claira Faith - The name itself is very pretty, but I prefer the spelling Clara, more streamlined and traditional
Darbee Jewel Brooke - I actually like like the name Darby, but the spelling and Jewel kinda make me wanna gag.
Eva Cate - I like, it's different but simple and pretty
Jenesis Lane - I actually don’t hate it, I wouldn't choose it but it's kinda nice
Kira Ryan/Kyra Lancra - I don't mind the name Kira. Didn't realize it was getting popular.
Latrilla Faith - don't like it
Maia Jo - interesting. Don't hate it, but meh
Maria Victoria - snore, I guess it's very classic but it's just so dull
Molly Marie - lovely, this is how you use a classic like Marie, with flair!
Naelani Lauren - different, I've heard Laelani but not Naelani, I think I'd prefer Maelani
