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

From two classics - can you name them
Ruibies · 16/12/2021 14:02

Reading a famous fantasy at the mo and was surprised to find most names are very fantasy, then there's also Paul, Duncan and Jessica as main characters. Others I can remember:
Leto
Piter
Thufir
Mapes

If we go by my audiobook then I've got
Locke
Calo
Galdo
Bug
Sabetha

Probably won't be using any of these for future DC Grin but do quite like Locke.
