Clare's insight:
This is one of my favourite slide shows of recent times. The names are Amaya, Breeze, Clement (whoop whoop!), Corentin, Guthrie, Iris, Nephele, Nevada, Solona, Thor and Thora, Varsha, and Zephyr, and it's well worth a look to see how they're all weather-related.

I thought Zephyr sounded familiar, and when I searched this page (using the "filter" button), it turns out it's appeared in several announcement lists in the last few months, as well as being featured on the "My Name Is Pabst" website. Perhaps a grower?

"I was at a wedding at the end of August and there was a woman there whose name is Marisol. She was a good friend of a woman who attends my congregation at our Kingdom Hall (place of worship). I had seen the woman before but I didn’t know her name was Marisol. Now I have heard the name Marisol before, most notably on CSI: Miami. I also heard it on the movie Cheetah Girls 2. I think it is a really pretty Spanish name. It is super exotic sounding and the meanings are good."
