Wow- that is crazy!


I though Ava would be #1 for sure, and am really surprised that Aidan is not #1- and not even in the top 10!

I was dissapointetd to see Maddison ranked at 381, Madisyn ranked at 386 and Madyson at 356, with Addyson at 252, and Izabella at 236. Poor kids with those aweful spellings! Just because the spelling is differesnt doesnt make the name less popular! It looks just plain ugly!

It seems to me that a lot of parents of twins are gunning to drive themselves and their kids crazy trying to keep those names straight...seriously, Christian and Christopher? Taylor and Tyler? It's like they decided "oh, we're having twins. They're not individuals, so let's choose their names by alphabetical order in the naming book!"

What is even more sad (I had a lot of time on my hands last night as I am on modified bed rest) - is that if you keep going you get to the crazy Aidan spellings like (Aeden, Aidyn, etc) and that takes it up to 29, 371. That is thousands more than Jacob.
One thing I noticed was the number of boys per name vs. girls per name. I think there just must be more girl name options.
There were a couple of names that really surprised me being as high as they were - like Kevin. I don't see any little Kevin's running around, but it was in the top 50.
I was so disheartened that enough parents named their son Rylee (spelled that awful and feminine way) for it to rank around 800.
My two contenders for my son jumped up a little (not too much though), but they are still in the 200 and 300's - so that is good!
