You have to name a child from the first five names in whatever publication you last read, book, magazine, newspaper, whatever. What are your options? I have:

Joe
Vladimir
Noah
Elizabeth
Valérie

It's a nonfic book from the mid '10s and the chapter I'm currently reading is a survey of expert analysis from the mid twentieth century on, so not surprising. If I go on to get more names of women: Anne, Rosie, Helena, Diane, Shelley.
