Another game!

Post of list of your five favorite combos for each gender (if you don't have five, just make some up).
Look on the 2007 SSA list (http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/popularnames.cgi) and see where each name in the combo ranks.
I'll give you a year. Go see where the ranking would fall on those new lists.
Let's see what combos we can come up with!

Use these years:
Girls Combos
#1 = 1954
#2 = 1911
#3 = 1945
#4 = 1922
#5 = 1971

Boys Combos
#1 = 1908
#2 = 1966
#3 = 1989
#4 = 1996
#5 = 1950

Here's mine:
Madeline Amelia (61, 77) = Virginia Ellen
Elizabeth Audrey (10, 51) = Frances Bernice
Julia Catherine (34, 143) = Frances Audrey
Charlotte Ruby (102, 116) = Elaine Christine
Vivian Rebecca (210, 105) = Rose Alicia


Benjamin Colin (26, 119) = Roy Max
Julian Henry (66, 91) = Lawrence Jay
Oliver Matthew (140, 9) = Angel James
Josiah Timothy (106, 100) = Cole Victor
Ezra Theodore (301, 342) = Jerald Rene


I like Virginia Ellen. My last three girls would sound better flipped (Audrey Frances, Christine Elaine and Alicia Rose).  The boys names all stink.

Fun! I slightly modified my top names, because there were quite a few that weren't in the top 2000, which is generally a good thing but not in this game ;) So here we go:

Maeve Anna (619, 25) = Jannie Janice (lol!)
April Leah (310, 68) = Pearlie Lois
Mia Helena (15, 535) = Margaret Zelma
Ariel Faye (188, -) = Regina Faye
Neve Audrey (-, 51) = Neve Robin

Adam Nathaniel (65, 82) = Oscar Harvey
Joseph Ira (13, -) = Steven Ira
Simon Alistair (285, -) = Stanley Alistair
Roman Elliot (207, 359) = Raul Kendall
Jack Eli (38, 130) = Patrick Jon

Haha, Janice Jannie is hilarious. I really like Lois, but Pearlie...not so much.
I think the names where I used my own names because they weren't in the top 2000 turned out really pretty (Neve Robin & Regina Faye).
I don't like any of the boy names...except for maybe Raul.
