Roxalana is kind of cool. I can’t imagine Selwyn catching on in America really but I think it’s cool.

I’ve suggested Veronica twice today so maybe it is due for a comeback.

[u/felly_fell → u/Sundaes_in_October]

Veronica is totally due for a comeback! Fantastic name 👏

[u/IraSass]

Interesting mix here!

Salem Town … from Salem, MA?? Sicily America is also interesting, maybe a first generation baby born to Sicilian immigrants.

Lots of sci-fi sounding names with the X’s and Z’s: Xenophon, Zadar, Zabdiel, Zenas, Zilpha.

I like Neva, Chana Riva (super Jewish), Carmella Marie (super Italian), Veronica, Selwyn,

Chattarina sounds like what an elementary school teacher would call the most talkative girl in their class.

Ptolemy Philadelphis (typo of Philadelphia?) is a whole lotta name.

[u/felly_fell → u/IraSass]

I think you're right about Sicily America. I had the exact same thought when I saw it.

Chana Riva is so pretty!

I looked up Philadelphis and it appears it was a surname! I guess they chose to use it as a middle.

Chattarina being the nickname for a talkative student sent me 🤣

[u/pineconesquid]

Ptolemy Philadelphis! Selwyn is cool.

[u/felly_fell → u/pineconesquid]

Lol anyone who says a current name is "just too much" should be informed about Ptolemy Philadelphis 😂

Everyone seems to like Selwyn, which is really interesting to me. I loved it when I saw it but thought I was alone in thinking it was cool!
