I have the same book as nothingtolose19, so I figured I'd put up some name lists too. In the Style section they have lists of names that are hot, or about to become hot (the book is from 1998) and it organizes them into Century Names, Surname Names, Imports, Place Names, Comfy Names, Good Girls, Biblical Boys, and Irish Rogues, so I guess I'll just post those lists, one at a time and people can post their opinions on the names. I'll start with...

These are names that were popular at the turn of the century, and are becoming popular once again, or have potential to become popular:

Abigail
Adelaide
*Adeline
*Alice
Amelia
*Anna
Beatrice
Belle
