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 may know of more, but this is all I can think of at the moment.
I'm not quite sure what age range we're going for here, so I'll do the 10 and under batch...of course, my batch is a bit skewed since I'm surrounded by theater people and academics, so most of the kids I know are named things like Chauncey and Asa and...well...Penn.
Boys:
Jacob: 1
Michael: 2
Joshua: 1
Ethan: 1
Matthew: 0
Daniel: 1
Christopher: 1
Andrew: 1
Anthony: 1
William: 0
Girls:
Emily: 0
Emma: 0
Madison: 1
Isabella: 0
Ava: 2
Abigail: 1
Olivia: 1
Hannah: 2
Sophia: 1
Samantha: 0
I know ... I didn't specify. LOL
I did ten and under as well, but figured everyone could do it however they wanted. If I went all the way up to 30 or so, I'd have to count the dozens of kids named Michael, Joshua, Matthew, Daniel, Chrisopher, Andrew, Hannah and Samantha I personally grew up with. Whew! That'd be a ton. LOL
