2010 Name Predictions

[pinkysmith.livejournal.com]

A blog I read had a post about the most popular names of 2010 so far so I'm posting the links to the lists below for discussion:

Nameberry's Top 100 Boys' Names So Far
Nameberry's Top 100 Girls' Names So Far
Top 100 Most Unusual Names So Far (not Nameberry)

Personally I don't find many of the "most unusual names" so unusual as in they're not real names but Haitian (b) is an interesting 2010 name...

BTW here's the blog i got the links from. So far there are 66 comments with people's kids' names and requests not to steal.

Ideas for a middle name?

[shimmylala.livejournal.com]

We are expecting our first in December, and we're pretty much set on Rylee as a name for a girl, but what about a middle name? Could use all the suggestions we can get. For reference, last name is King.

So..

Rylee _________ King

Whatcha think?

some new babies

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Friends of mine have just had their second daughter - Eliana joins big sister Isabella. With an Italian surname, I think that these are both pretty.

My cousin had a little boy a few months ago, called Ryan Phillip. Nice, normal, no particular opinion on it.

My other cousin plans to call her baby, if it's a boy, Phwelyn. I'm guessing at the spelling, as it's a made up name. Apparently it's from an RPG game that her and her husband play. It makes me sad. If the baby is a girl, they'll call her Chloe.

WDYT?

Virtue Names

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

The other day I came across some articles on name nerds about virtue names. I like a surprising number of virtue names, particularly given the Puritan/religious connotations that go with them. Here are two lists from the site. The first are old school Puritan names (many, many made me giggle). The second list is a collection of more modern virtue names. WDYT?
( Old School )



( New School )



This or That: English Names: Round 2

Here's the next round! There was one tie between Cordelia and Dahlia. And I made a mistake on the first round Sabastian is supposed to be Sebastian. Have fun!
