My top names. Comments? Suggestions?

[wintertanlines.livejournal.com]

My top name for a girl has been Natalia for quite a time now. I'm worried that it's going to creep up and become very popular in the next ten years. Do you have any predictions for the name?

My top name for a boy is Sebastian. Like Natalia, I'm also afraid this is getting too popular.

Do you have any other suggestions for names? I like names that are uncommon, timeless, and it's a plus if they sound good in English and Spanish. What middle names would work?

For a girl, I also like Cecily and Matilda. I would love to use Mili as a nickname, but what could the full name be? I'm afraid to use Emilia, because I fear for its popularity. I'm afraid of popularity, can you tell??!!!

Thanks for any help you can offer. :)

Why can't Mili nickname Matilda?

I think Sebastian had a blitz of popularity (nothing extreme like the -ayden craze, but sort of the alternative/counter-culture spike that preceded it slightly). It's on its way down now.

Natalia may get bumped up as Natalie increases, and people love that general vowel stream for girls. Olivia, Sophia, Natalia... yeah, I can see it happening.

Matilda is absolutely on the rise, but with any luck for you it'll just be a mini peak amongst a certain sector, like Sebastian was/is.

I would definitely steer clear of Emilia if popularity is a concern.

Cecily seems safe; I'm kinda on the fence about Cecilia, but Cecily should be fine — at least in the next ten years, unless some celebrity event or other circumstance happens.
