name game

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

We played this game awhile ago in this community with the 2006 ssa list and I really liked it, so I think we should do a repeat with the 2007 ssa list.

Take your favorite name for each gender and look up the rating for 2007. For instance, my favorite boy's name Oliver Nathaniel would be 140, 82, and my favorite girl's name Catherine Beatrice would be 143, 899 Then go to each of the different years (2006, 2000, 1985, 1958, 1932, 1907, 1880) and find out what, popularity wise, the name would have been. It takes awhile but I think its really interesting

In 2006, Oliver Nathaniel would have been Nicolas Wyatt and Catherine Beatrice would have been Ana Katharine (interesting)
In 2000, Antonio Liam and Veronica Magdalena
In 1985, Francisco Gary and Jill Sherita
In 1958, Theodore Curtis (I kind of like this!)and Dianne Dara
In 1932, Everett Clyde and Judith Tressie
In 1907, Otto Ben and Lizzie Deloris
In 1880, Silas Allen and Rosie Mahalia (I really like Silas and Rosie, actually)

William (8) Griffin (242) Levi (132)

2006: Andrew Simon Cristian and Ashley Anabella Kylie
2000: Joseph Elias Mitchell and Alyssa Destiney Faith

1958: Richard Ross Perry and Nancy Erma Wanda
1932: George Fredrick Jose and Joyce Sammie Wilma
1907: Frank Dale Warren and Ethel Savannah Blanche
1880: Thomas Marcus Alvin and Clara Juliet Della

So...
2006: Cristian? Wow. Nice spelling folks. And no matter how popular Ashley is, i will always like it. never use it, but always like it.
2000: I kind of like Jospen Elias Mitchell. Probably would only use Elias, after Walter Elias Disney ;). Destiney Faith. HA!
1985: Karl Martin makes me think of Karl Marx. And the girls names are all VERY 1980's. I love Alecia, spelled Alicia.
1958: Richard Ross Perry sounds like a law firm. I kind of like it. Nancy Erma Wanda are probably some of my least favorite names in the universe. Together they sound like an old wrinkled pop band.
1932: I kind of like Joyce. And even though my top girls name is Samantha, she will never be Sammie. Sami (maybe) or Sam, but mostly always Samantha.
1907: Savannah and Blanche made me think of the Golden Girls. Frank Dale Warren makes me think of a race car driver.
1880: Eh... I kind of like Clara Juliet, although it's not my style at all...
this was enlightening...

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

Dang... messed up after Francesca. I should get a paid account. :(

[raisintree.livejournal.com]

As my neither part of my favourite boy combo (Flynn Ambrose) is ranked, I'll resort to my second choice--Leon Emerson (496 & 494). For girls I'll choose Eliza Harper (334 & 441), after being thwarted once more (Geneva, my ideal mn for Harper, doesn't rank.) This is the price of liking obscure names, I suppose.

2006: Kody Rene (repulsive, especially with the K)& Ivy Lilian(perhaps too botanical, but lovely nonetheless)
2005: Will Lincoln(I would prefer William; for presidential names, I favour Truman) & Emilee Haylie (terrible perversions of an over-used names)
2000: Ramiro Neil (hate Ramiro, love Neil) & Georgia Phoebe (love! Phoebe is a guilty pleasure of mine)
1990: (year of my birth) Jaron Avery (detest Jaron; love Avery but fear it has been permanently lost to the girls) & Annie Alaina (too alliterative and nicknamey)
1950's: Joshua Eduardo (ick) & Natalie Violet (love! My almost name and one of my favourite girls names)
1920's: Augustine Phil (what a strange combination: love Augustine, hate Phil) & Cornelia Queen (perhaps it should be Queen Cornelia!)

[lovelylittle.livejournal.com]

Sophie Rose (82, 351) & Adam Nicholas (65, 20)

2006: Claire Presley & Adam John
2000: Zoe Heide & Richard Alexander
1985: Dana Rochelle & Juan Anthony
1958: Anita Maxine & Rodney Kevin
1932: Esther Corrinne & Larry Billy
1907: Rosa Arlene & Clifford Paul
1880: Alma Vivian & Lawrence Joe

I like Claire & Zoe & I don't mind Rochelle but I don't like any of the combinations really. I like Alexander, Kevin, Paul, & Joe, but again not so much with what they're paired with!

[blue-suspenders.livejournal.com]

Benjamin Levi (26, 137) & Gabrielle Eve (67, 618)

2006, Dylan Damian & Brooklyn Sharon - Eesh, I don't like these

2000, Benjamin Nicolas & Angel Katelin

1985, Timothy Henry & Stacy Arielle - I like Henry and Arielle

1958, Stephen Edwin & Sherry Tena - I've never heard Tena before..

1932, Albert Jessie & Sarah Gearldine

1907, Jack Rufus & Eleanor Georgiana

1880, Ernest Gus & Lizzie Norah

[juniorfan29.livejournal.com]

I can't do this. =( My favorite girl's name (Colleen) wasn't in the top 1000 for 2007, just the middle name (Marie) was....though it WAS in the top 1000 for 2006. Then, my boy's name, the middle name (Royd) wasn't in the top 1000 for 2007. It never has been, actually.

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

Luke Henry (46, 91) and Isabella Jane (2, 426)

2006 — Jordan Caden and Emma Aubree
2000 — Jack Dalton and Hannah Alayna
1985 — Travis Evan and Ashley Nadia
1958 — Dale Michael and Susan Olga
1932 — Marvin Lewis and Betty Bennie
1907 — Anthony Luther and Helen Filomena
1880 — Michael Milton and Anna Ira

I like Emma, Jack Dalton, Hannah, Ashley, Nadia, Michael, and Anna.

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

I have many favorites for each gender, but here goes a favorite for each. I was going to use Calandra for a girl, but since it's not on the list >_< and I just thought of the middle name for Layla (it's one of my mom's middle names, so it has significance, but I'm not sure if I would use it...):

Benjamin James (26, 15) and Layla Madeleine (85, 290)

2006 - Dylan Noah and Isabelle Esther
2000 - Benjamin Zachary (funny, back to Benjamin!) and Laura Rylee
1985 - Timothy Justin and Julia Esther
1958 - Stephen Paul and Virginia Irma
1932 - Albert Frank and Jacqueline Adeline
1907 - Jack Albert and Lois Claudia
1880 - Ernest Fred and Eliza Charity

I like Noah, Isabelle, Benjamin (Of course) Zachary, Laura, Julia (but too close to my name to ever use!), Paul, Jacqueline Adeline (but not necessarily together), and Eliza. I don't mind Charity, either, I suppose. Virginia Irma is too funny, rhyming much? Well not exactly, but similar sounds.

Now, I want to do another couple names!

Nathaniel Tobias (82, 477) [bit of a mouthful, I know, but I love both names] and Elaina Alexandra (431, 49) [another two names I love, but probably wouldn't use together]

2006 - Wyatt Porter and Fernanda Rachel
2000 - Antonio Jaxon and Lilly Gabrielle
1985 - Gary Quincy and Christen Kristin [bahahahahahaha!]
1958 - Curtis Joshua and Corinne Darlene [haha, rhyming!]
1932 - Clyde Burl and Gretchen Lillian
1907 - Ben Delmer and Belva Julia
1880 - Allen Smith and Nan Fannie

I like: Wyatt (it's okay), Rachel, Lilly Gabrielle (I like Lily spelt like that better, though), Gary, Kristin, Joshua, Gretchen, Ben as a nn for Benjamin, Julia (see note above). Smith is actually my Mom's maiden name, so maybe that could sneak it's way into my baby names somewhere (though I doubt it). Haha, that was fun!

[theravenflower.livejournal.com]

Ethan Charles (3, 62) and Audrey Josephine (51, 224):

2006 - Joshua Luis and Jennifer Vivian
2000 - Matthew Alex and Brooke Lauryn
1985 - Matthew Jordan and Tara Carmen
1958 - James Walter and Terri Kimberly
1932 - John Peter and Thelma Maggie
1907 - James Edwin and Laura Lila
1880 - James Isaac and Dora Claudia

Lots of Js, Ls, and Ts, haha. Of these, I like Joshua, Alex, Carmen, Laura/Lila (but not together, lol), James Isaac, and Claudia. I would never use Terri, Brooke, Thelma, Walter, Jordan, or Edwin. The rest are meh.
