4 days of swim championships, some name observations:
most unusual
Sunbear
Rune
Rock
Diem
surprise popular names:
Avery
Grayson
In one of the 4 meets (9/10 age group), there were 3 of each of these -two girls and one boy. yes, that's right, two girls called Grayson in the same swim meet
About to add this year's offerings but just wanted to update.... Sunbear is still swimming. Now in the oldest group and when the ladies were waiting to be marshalled, I overheard them mention his name in a highschool girl way....
(Only one Grayson left and she's also in the top age group, The Averys have reached the spelling variant point (Averi, Aivery....))

Re: Names. (My obsession) ((Well one of them))
Based on my observations from three days of swim championships this year (one more to go)... ...in the next couple of decades, we will be attending the wedding of Ellie and Hamilton. The bridesmaids will be Vera, Esther and Gladys, with Odin as best man and any and all other groomsmen will be called Jude.
Yes, two Odins so far and still another day to go.
In the Unique and New (ish) department

Our new weird frontrunner these days is Nico ("neeko")--we've have three of those this summer, all short for Nicolas, plus one Neko, short for nothing.

I couldn't possibly comment. But now I will have to go double-check

I feel like Rodney may soon become a girls' name

Re: Names. (My obsession) ((Well one of them))
And lo and behold today I found a Rodnika. Not exactly a female Rodney, but it's coming.....
Also plenty of Millenniums, but none related to Billennium who, it turns out, was named after his father.
