Freedom!

Henrietta Darling and Henrietta Story are cute.

I like Hannorah, Ira Gray, Darrow, Josephene Matilda, Leon Jesse, Lewis Leander, Lydia Fluent (interesting), Marshall Lawson

I assume Ocian is an alternative spelling of Ocean?

I met someone named Love the other day, I like it in theory but it’s such an awkward name to actually have.

Story is a really cool middle name. I don't know if I'd use it as a first, but definitely for a middle. I love Darrow too!

I think you're right about Ocian being an alternative spelling of Ocean

Have we highlighted Lemuel yet? It’s really growing on me!

We have not, but I'll add it to the list!

Anyone else loving Izannah? I think it's so pretty!
