I LOVE the name Audrey but it's getting really popular. I predict it will be the new Emily or Emma in a few years.

I also love Caleb but it's already in the top ten.

I don't want my kids to have the same name as 50 other kids in the school!

On behalf of someone who had at least two other girls in her classes also named Stephanie. Thanks! It was annoying being known as Stephanie B. or by my last name. One year there were 4(!) Stephanies in my class.

We love Sofia but it's one of the top 10 right now. We'll probably look for another more traditional/historical name that's not as popular.

For a boy we like Alexander (another top 10) but I think we've decided to use it as a middle name.

I'm almost 29, and I grew up in a very small town with a Parker.

I am starting to feel the same way about our boy name we have picked. (Brady) It keeps popping up everywhere.

Names that I love but that are too popular are Ella, Grace and Annabel. For a boy I don't have any specific names, but it seems that every name that I like is "popular". I will probably use Grace anyway though. I was SO disappointed with Annabel because I really thought that *I* thought of it all by myself. We were trying to think of a girl name when we were pregnant and I had known a girl named Guiliana when I was in school who had

All great names. I haven't really heard Annabel but I really like it. Doesn't it make you just want to keep your names a big secret until the baby's born? We actually miscarried last year and still have decided to use the same names we had talked about last time. (Brady - I really think it's a boy) Anyways, my cousin has decided they probably will use that name in May when their son is born. I was pretty mad. That is our name. So I let everyone know at family get togethers we might just have 2 Brady's. I am still hoping this will effect their decision. It all sounds silly but my husband and I really don't want to have to try and agree on another boy name. He's alittle picky.

I loved Ella when we had our first daughter Halle

There were 2 other new born Ella's in the hospital when I had her, so that was out -(it's Top 10 here in Australia now...I had no idea).

I love Jack, but it has been the most popular boys name in Australia for 6-7 years - I know SO many Jacks. I also Ava and Mia - top 10's here and Will for a boy (No. 3!)
We are thinking of going for something not so popular this time, as we did with Halle.
