Wrapping up April

Before a look at the last batch of births for April an apology goes out from April - Round 1. The child from New Zealand with 4 given names actually has 5, this has been amended to include Avril, which ironically is the French form of April, a name I rather like.

On to the last of April...

Yet again more three name combos have appeared than usual and mostly on boys. A selection of these include twins Griffen Raymond Cahill  and  Lucas Kevin Reilly, Tiannah 
Isaiah Darius, Harry 
Douglas Robert, Patrick James Murray Emily Victoria Rose and Estella Jaclyn Maria.

As the Rudd Government stimulus package hit people not only went crazy with their money but they must have been lulled into a sense of financial security as this is the first time in months there have been many out there choices. With the country officially in recession it was predicted people would move towards strong, simple and classic names to secure a stable future for their child. Whilst this generally has been proving true with many many rather boring and repetitive choices there still have been some standouts which are names that aren't out-there weird but are beautiful classy names that are often in need of revival and definitely  not hugely common names. Keep an eye out for a future post on lovely uncommon names.
