I'm just curious what everyone else’s top 5 favorite boy/girl names list looks like.
Mine changes frequently, but right now it looks like this:
Boy’s (not including my ds, Griffin, which I’ve already used so I don’t consider it in my current list)
1.Callum-FYI dh hates this one
2.Declan
3.Rafferty
4.Silas
5.Taggert- dh HATES this one too

Girls:
1.Tallula
2.Cordelia
3.Romilly
4.Felicity- dh HATES this one
5.Isadora

Dh was willing to play too, but not for the full top 5…
Boy:
1.Declan
2.Dylan
3.Atticus

Girl:
1.Eudora
2.Sabine
3.Delia
4.Tallula

I kwym! I keep seeing the name Jasper popping on up on people's lists and I honestly don't have it on my list for any other reason than that it's been stuck in my head as a great name for a few months now. I hadn't seen it mentioned here really at all (but I've only been lurking off and on of late, not daily like I was previously. cough cough ;)).

Amy :-) dw to Jerry; CPST and HS Mom to 4 great kids and hopefully more!

I agree Heidi is a pretty name. Guys don't like Heidi b/c of the movie that interrupted the conclusion of the 1968 AFL (American Football League) game between the New York Jets and Oakland Raiders . Plus, I think they don't like the movie, which is probably the only time they've heard the name used, given that it isn't an overly popular name.

As difficult as it was to cut it down to 5, here they are:

Naomi Virginia*
Matilda Scarlett, possibly nn’d Maisie
Anastasia Madeleine, possibly nn’d Daisy
Ruby Keziah*
Willa Maeve

Asa Benjamin*
Elijah
Jasper
Eoghan/Owen
Rowan, possibly nn’d Rory**

* Ruby and Virginia are my grandmother’s and mother’s names, respectively. Benjamin is also a family name. Keziah is the name of a favorite children’s book character.

** Ironically, Rowan is a diminutive form (little red one) while Rory is not (red king), but in English usage, Rory is the more “nickname-y” of the two, so there you go!
