10 years ago, I think Bridget, Eliza, and Alicia.

5 years ago, I think Victoria and Holliston topped the list.

1 year ago it was pretty much the same as it is now (Bridget, Isabel, Lily, Victoria is still on the list, though I don't love it, but it's a family name, so...)

My taste in boy's names hasn't changed at all over the course of my life :)

I don't think that I had favourite names ten years ago, but around five years ago I remember that Roxie was my absolute favourite girl name. And there was a Corrine Jolie on my list. I liked Oakley and Cohen too.

Ten years ago, I was really in to Kimberly and Erica, then Brianna and Alyson and Serena. Nicholas was my favorite boy's name.

Five years ago, I was really in to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so Anya, Cordelia, and Lilah topped the list, along with Sarah, Katelyn, and Makayla. In between the ten and five year marks, I remember loving Leighanne, Lauryn, and Lyndsey. I know. In my defense, I was thirteen/fourteen. For boys, I think it was Wesley, Connor, Ryan, Ethan, and Nicholas.

About a year ago and six months ago, my top names were still the same -- Anna, Lola, Isabella, Luke, Ethan, Nathan. Aidan ranked higher than it does now.

when i was 9 or 10 i was set on the name rachel elizabeth. it's definitely not TERRIBLE, but i'd never use it today.

I just got out my name list and I honestly do not like any of the names on it anymore!

I was SO sure back then [a few years ago] that Ashton and Cooper were my boys names that would never catch on....lol. Suppose I jinxed myself there!

When I was 5 I would have killed to be a Jessica. As a Claire I was always jealous of not having a nickname.

Let's just say that, I'm glad I didn't have kids 5-10 years ago.
