The last for October 2009

Welcome to November! The time is moving along so fast, and before we know it, Christmas will be upon us yet again! Anyway, here is a selection of the final names to appear in the announcements for October 2009 (Australian papers).

Boys
Archer William
Ben Albert
Blake Aiden
Charlton Alexander
Christian James
Corey James
Ethan James
Finn Thomas
George John
Harrison John
Harvey Matthew
Issac Aubrey
Issac Vincent Majer - Majer?
Jacob Aiden
Jaynen Wayne - yuck.
Jonathan Arthur David
Jordan Mac - Mac? As in Apple Mac?
Lachlan Bruce
Leon Romano
Luca Alexander - there's the 'a' on the end of a masculine name again.
Lucas
Nicholus Frederick James
Mitchell Jye
Oscar Raymond
Patrick Dennis
Samuel James
Sean Norman
Solomon Euan
Tom John - snappy rhyming there!
Tyler Dean
Zeke Charles Maxwell

Girls
Abbie Elizabeth
Adelaide Iris
Allegra Amalia
Amelia Grace
Amity Amanda - nice alliteration!
Asha Beverley
Astrid Edith
Ava
Ava Mary Rose
Charli Matilda - I'm no fan of Charli or Charlie for a girl.
Charlize Montana - Come to think of it, I don't like Charlize either! It seems to be popular at the moment, perhaps drawing inspiration from actress Charlize Theron.
Eleanor Helena Carmen
Emma Victoria
Emmy Louise
Freya Rose
Isabelle Claire
Isis Grace
Jolie Mae - fans of Angelina perhaps?
Kinslie Blaise - a bit icky.
Madeleine Ellen
Matilda Lucy
Olivia Jayde

Twins

Chloe Isabella and Emma Catlin
Oscar Reilly and Joshua Rueben
Samuel Christian and Evie Rose

There's not much to report on this list, other than the popularity of Grace and Rose as girls' middle names (again!) and the popularity of James for boys' middle names! There is also a fair selection of unusual names, which seems to be the going trend at the moment, much to my dismay!

See any combinations you like? Any you hate? Please comment!
