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.

I <3 this game!

A lot of mine weren't in the top 1000, so this isn't my real top five. For example, my real top 2 are Leslie Blair and Linda Berkeley (matching initials unintended) but Blair and Berkeley aren't listed so I combined them.

Leslie Linda - 127, 496 - Julia Fay (Funny, Julia Fay sounds so modern, whereas Leslie Linda sounds like it should be from 1954!)
Allison Carey (Carrie is listed) - 46, 988 - Eva Delpha
Janna Shea (Jana is listed) - 677, 927 - Belva Rene (Eww, Belva? That reminds me of "Mulva" from Seinfeld.)
Kaylen Tara - 849, 539 - Lennie Theodora
Stacey Kelly (Stacy is listed) - 693, 222 - Lillie Norma

Luke Brian - 46, 81 - Sam Tom lol
Jason Elliott - 59, 389 - Wayne Alonzo
Bradley Garrett - 194, 162 - Darius Randall
Kyle Peter - 86, 178 - Isaac Fernando
Taylor Wesley - 249, 195 - Lance Sidney

I never noticed how the boy names I like are so much more popular than the girl names.

Julia Fay is so pretty!

And I agree with you on Belva =\ What kind of name is that?!

"I never noticed how the boy names I like are so much more popular than the girl names."

Same here! Most of my boys' names were in the top 50, if not the top 20, but my favorite girls' names were nearly all lower than 100!
