[TrudyCampbell]

A name nerd's Christmas

Emma reigns supreme

[TrudyCampbell]

Violet and Ruby both more popular
Violet from 50 to 47
Ruby a big jump from 83 to 71

[sandj82110]

Both mine dropped a little, still in the top 15 though.

[sandj82110]

Michael surprises me. I don't think I've encountered a single Michael since my kids were born.

[thedahliharpa]

UGH
lol

[Deleted]

Ugh.
Noah is #1 still and Amelia is #11. I still don't personaly know any other Noah or Amelia's

[bean47]

Claire went from 49 to 40. I've never met another child name Claire at work or in the community.

Olivia continues to be number 2.

[jsillyfun]

May is still not in the top 1000 but Mae has gotten way more popular although it is still only in the 500s. Clara has been rising but actually declined one spot last year.

It's funny, we have two little sib Claire's we know at preschool plus our Clara.

[jsillyfun]

May is sort of deceptively uncommon though bc it's a very popular middle name.

A went up to 345. It was 494 when we picked it.

H is up to 22, from 29 in 2015.

[teamhayes]

All names went down in popularity except Sullivan

[ktstorm]

Benjamin was 19 when we picked it, up to 6 now. And I have yet to meet another Benjamin his age in person.

Elliot was 216 when we picked it, up to 180 now. The only other Elliot we've met around here is a little girl.

I feel like the top 10 makes up almost all of Tyler's and Sarah's class.

[fryjack2]

I hear the top ten girl names all the time. It seems like every new baby around here has one f those names.

But, I rarely hear or meet a baby Michael. Tons of Benjamins and Noahs.

[fryjack2]

Loco Coco. I know 4 Vivians in my personal life under the age of 5. And two under ten. And 3 more patients named Vivian or Vivienne

[chirpchirp]

W's name wasn't anywhere close to 1000 in 2012, but now has jumped all the way to 524. I've only met one other W in real life.
I's name made it above 1000 for the first time ever his year at 950

Also, I could look at these all day. Lol

Me too, I swear I find every single name trend interesting!

[TrudyCampbell]

Loco Coco I know one Vivian and she goes by vivi

[TrudyCampbell]

I find it so so weird that when I chose the name Violet in 2012 I really thought it was kind of an "out there" name. Like it was sort of a guilty pleasure name for me. Little did I know, everyone else loved it too lol

Same! I know so many of the top 10 names. Every around here names very traditional and sticks to national trends.

Well except for me. My kids do not have common names at all.

Really? In my Isis group (we are all still friends) there are 7 moms and we each have at least 2 kids. There are 4 Michaels of varying ages and they all live in Somerville or Cambridge.

[TrudyCampbell]

Out of the top 20 names (10 boys 10 girls) I think the name I hear the most is Noah.

I'm sure if we lived in a more Jewish area we would hear the name more but even the Jews we know, they are all Ben, Sam, Isaac, Noah, Ezra, Eli etc.

Haha! It's those darn hipsters. About a month after she was born, we saw an article about the top 10 hipster baby names and W was top of the list

There are 2 little girls named Aria in S's gym class. I always wonder if it is PLL related.

[joyhart02]

Calista still hasn't broken the top 1,000

Lydia held steady at 80, she was at 118 when I chose her name.

[joyhart02]

Corinne dropped from 732 to 796.
