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).

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
