[xnaivetex.livejournal.com]

My name, Cristi, was not in the top 1000 ever. Didn't think it would be ;)

My son Treyton was 997/1000 in 2004. We usually call him just Trey, which was 238/1000 in 2004.

My name (Dara) hasn't been in the top 1000 since 1993, when it was #952. lol Barely hangin' on. In 1984, the year I was born, it was 634.

That was pretty interesting. Thanks for the link!

[julieannie.livejournal.com]

I knew 2 Dara's at my high school and I just graduated in 2003. We must have been a fluke!

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

We must have been a fluke!

Wait, is your name also Dara? Or do you mean "we" as in your high school?

LOL that's odd! i never knew any other Dara's, but I remember in 5th grade I sat in between a Tara and a Daria. That was fun for the teacher! =D

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

I have a really good friend named Dara too :)!

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

Wow, awesome =D

It's funny because just this past year I became really good friends with someone whose sister has the same first and middle name as me. That was just weird.

[julieannie.livejournal.com]

Eep, I meant my high school must have been a fluke. But my brother dated both Dara's so I'm thinking that all Daras must be amazing.

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

haha aww! yes we are. ;) lol

[julieannie.livejournal.com]

Logan (male) 27
Evelyn (female) 83

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

My name (Trista) wasn't even on the top 1000 in 1994... go me. But in 2003/2004 (eh hum... the bachlorette) it's gone to the 500's. Damn.

I love Laila... totally my 1st girls name, no questions.

i use behindthename.com for... everything. but i think their popularity source is the same, and expanded by other sources.

Arjen Alexander
jesus, Arjen doesn't even make it on any lists... it's a dutch name. Alexander is ranked at 15 in 2004.

Magdalena Renee
Magdalena comes in at 804 in 2004, Renee at 475.

Emmanuelle Nazarette
Nazarette is a created name, so yeah... couldn't find any popularity data for Emmanuelle (don't know why... doesn't seem that horribly uncommon).

my name, Lorelei, is at 967 in 2004.

hmmm...

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

My husband's and my names were even that year!! both of us were number 10. Christopher and Elizabeth.

my older son, Seth...#82
younger son, technically, number 10. his "name" as he knows it is Topher, though, and that is...not there.

Some of the most butchered names on earth are. But not something as innculous as Topher. !!!!

Girls names I like...

Keladry...didn't see it.

And now my eyes are bleeding. a lot of names there could make baby boy #70 cry!

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I've seen it spelled Taylah and Taijla :(

[wykd-faerie.livejournal.com]

omg :( i used to work at petsmart and this women came in and she had one of those keychains made out of white letter blocks (that seems so vague lol), and her daughters name is Taiyler. I was like "wtf?!" I told her, "Oh, hey, that's my name, only spelled without the "i"" and she responds, "Oh, that's funny!" *smile* "I added the "i" to her name so it would be different. I think it was pretty creative." I wanted to scream.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

haha.. I know which white block keychains you mean

One of those letters is redundant. That sound can be spelled as "ai" or "ay" (or "ae" i suppose)... but only one of those options is necessary

As you can see, my boys names are quite 'rendy & popular' ehh.. compareed to the girls names at least.. i don't like the idea of that too much but i do like the names!

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

If I posted my favorite names it would be a novel. Haha.

Let's see...my name - Brenna - was 560 in the year I was born ('81), and in '04, it was 329. Hopefully it doesn't become super trendy, because that would suck.

[feelslike-2day.livejournal.com]

the same reason every other name is butchered... i can see/accept
jenifer
but not
Jeniffer
or Jenniffer
or jenipher
gag me now
