Top Ten IRL

Fri, 05-11-2007 - 8:00pm

Just thought it'd be interesting to note how many children with top ten names we each know personally (not just "I've seen Sophia at least three dozen times in birth announcements ). I'll post the *NEW* 2006 lists below, and you can just put the number you know next to each name or feel free to go into detail (we all know I'm long-winded myself ROFL).


Boys:



  • Jacob
  • Michael
  • Joshua
  • Ethan
  • Matthew
  • Daniel
  • Christopher
  • Andrew
  • Anthony
  • William

Girls:



  • Emily
  • Emma
  • Madison
  • Isabella
  • Ava
  • Abigail
  • Olivia
  • Hannah
  • Sophia
  • Samantha

Sorry! The chart below obviously got cut off, so I've copied the list above (easier to post your responses to anyway, so I've saved everyone some work LOL).

I don't have a lot of contact with the littles (I'm in grad school, and most of my friends don't have kids yet, but I know:

* Olivia (1 - classmate's daughter, 7 1/2 yrs now)
* Hannah (1 - cousin's daughter, just shy of 3)

well I obviously know 1 at least! Mine! My dd name is Ava, when she was born it was ranked 82, now it's #5! I can't believe it! there were no Ava's in our city when she was born, now I've met at least 4. I know 1 isabella but no others in the top 10 for girls. hard to believe. And i know 1 ethan and my hubby's name is michael otherwise I haven't heard any of those boys names either.
at least my new beans name isn't even in the top 1000 for the past 15 years!

Anyone notice if the real-life numbers correspond with the most popular names for your state (assuming you don't know mostly Jacobs and Emilys and trickle down from there, per the nationwide stats)? ;) I noticed I knew quite a few more Sophias and Hannahs for the girls, and Matthews for the boys (nearly as many of the top three there, though, so that's in line with the national list, really). Thought those might be reflective of state, but for PA overall, Sophias not even IN the top ten (at 11), and Hannah and Matthew's

Either I don't know that many kids or these names just aren't as popular in my area as they seem to be on paper. :D
