Okay, so last night's poll was fun, and it was interesting to note that the people in this community don't like some of those names near as much as the general populace seems to. So, tonight, we get to look at boys names. These are the top 10 baby boy names for 2004 in the US, according to this site:
http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

Oh, and the poll for the girl's names is located at http://www.livejournal.com/poll/?id=674115, if you want to see the results for that poll.

Vote away!

[Poll #674799]

I was actually surprised to see Joshua up so high. That's my brother's name (and my nephew's, as he's a Jr.) and while I knew it was popular, I didn't think it was that popular! Luckily my nephew goes by Jace so he won't be "Josh M." or anything like that.

Just as a weird note, a moment ago I added up all the percentages and they totaled 166.6% They now total 150% I'll count them again in the morning and see what we get :)

It's more than a 100% because you can choose more than one option for your favourite names.

Yeah, I don't think people understood that they were supposed to only vote for 1. Lots of people voted for a bunch of names so the results are rather meaningless.

Couldn't you put the little circle things that force you only to put one, instead of the checkboxes that allow you to choose several? Or can't these polls do that?

This was so hard. Because I am in love with the names:
Christopher
Matthew
Joshua
&
Jacob.

I voted for Christopher because I have liked this name for the longest.

i love the name christopher...however i'll probably never use it due to having a cousin with that name(i try to use names that relatives don't currently have)

Uhm...

[toia-nilson.livejournal.com]

Actually I like all except for Daniel...! xD But Ethan got my vote though. It's place 7 of my favourite top 10 names. *g*

[hitzpink.livejournal.com]

The boys names are so BORING! I do like Jacob, but I would never name my child such a common name.

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

I like ethan and andrew. my hubby is andrew, and we plan on using that name. SO, that's 2 from the top 10 for us, boy and girl! I am so unoriginal :)

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

I voted for Daniel because it's one of my favourite names ever, and I also voted for Christopher because that's my dad's name and I like it.

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

Joshua 'cause that's my brother's name. Although, I kind of like Ethan, too.

[knightanika.livejournal.com]

I voted for Jacub, Joshua, Andrew and William.

I love the name william (it's the only family name I love) and plan on using it someday, but as a middle name.

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

I love polls!

[katie-oo7.livejournal.com]

I picked Matthew, but I'll probably use Michael. I like them all except Ethan and Jacob. I really love the name Jake, but I've never been fond of Jacob.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

i'm still totally bitter that ethan has become so popular. it's been my favorite name since i was 7.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Aw my favourite came last (Joseph)
I know it's common, but I don't think I've known many Josephs who actually get called Joseph, they're all Joe. Joseph is only two syllables, it doesn't need to be shortened to Joe permanently, so yeah.. I think it's good (although I think I liked it too much and got a bit sick of it...)... why do other people not like it? I'm interested.

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

Ooh, hard choice. I voted for William, because my other favorite, James, isn't on the list. But I also love Andrew and Michael and am fond of Jacob and Joseph as well.

I think a lot of the people here are nerdy about names, and they tend to stay away from the super popular ones!

I love the name Jacob, though! I'd use it in a heartbeat if it wasn't so popular.

[secret-x-stars.livejournal.com]

a lot of those names i like in theory, but they always have nicknames that i can't stand. i love Michael, but hate the nn Mike, for example.
