Sites like www.babynames.com and similar have "rate this name" features, and you can see the average star rating, accumulated over thousands of clicks.

I've gotta say, some of the decisions ASTOUND me, especially given the fact that these aren't isolated opinions; these are average opinions!


Pahana (a unisex name, or so we are told — despite meaning "little white brother") is ranked higher than Rosamund.

Raghnall beats out Felicity.

Quasar tops Valerie.


Is it just me, or are there any rating trends you just can't understand?

What do you think of the name? I just got back from the cottage and there was a chubby little blond three-year-old toting around a kitten by this name. Because of her, I think it's adorable. Your thoughts?

what do you think about naming your child something that is commonly known/accepted/used as a nickname?

for example, names such as:
Sam
Tom
Rick/Ricky
Elle
Emmy
Alex

any others...

i went to school with a Rickey, that was his full name. his siblings were: Rachael, Rhianna, Raymond & Robert (lol one of those families with their alliteration). which i just found funny that they would name their other sons with names like Robert & Raymond, but he was just Rickey.
