Most popular names poll

[ladyofmoonlight.livejournal.com]

Okay, since I couldn't think of any other names that are commonly spelled more than two different ways, I decided to do a different poll. I found the ten most popular baby girls names for 2004 in the US here:
http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/
I wanted to see if everyone here went along with which names were the most popular, ie if Emily got more votes than Emma got more votes than Madison, and so on.

I think it's really interesting to see what the top ten names are right now. I've known many people who thought they were being original or different by naming their children Emily, Madison, Olivia, Abigail, and Isabella. Then again, my parents thought they were being different by naming me Megan back in 1982. They didn't realize they were kind of going with the flow there. Oddly enough, their other choices for girls names were Emily, Lauren and Amanda, but they felt all those were too popular and wanted to go with the more "unique" Megan. I don't think I was ever known by my first name alone, even in college.
