What are some of the names you would consider unusual? I was basing the list on things like spelling, the sex of the youth it was used on, and recent popularity of the name in the US (some names may have been in fashion a generation or two ago but aren't commonly heard on the current youth).

I'm genuinely curious as another person said they thought many of the names were quite common. I went into (perhaps too much) detail in my response as to why each name was on the list.

And just in case there is any confusion, I was not making any commentary on the names under the cut. I was simply listing all of the alumni births there.

I didn't look at the names under the cut.

Carla in particular (I saw your explanation above; unsusual=/uncommon).
Elissa.
Bailey
Angeline
Flora
China
