Oof, that list is terrible. Natan is listed twice, and there’s at least one name that isn’t a palindrome. The only two names that really work from that list is Anna and Hannah. Nobody should name their kid Bob in 2020, it’s not a «young» name yet. Thr older Bobs need to die off before it’s an acceptable kid’s name.

As for the rest of those names, I refuse to acknowledge them as names. They’re more like onomatopoeia.
