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.

Most are just my favorite first names mish-mashed together, since I don't have many set 'combos.' For ones I like that aren't on the popular list, I used the next closest variant (Georgia's ranking for Georgina, for example). And also, wow, I must really love names with the letter 'N' in them!

Fiona Catherine (352, 143) = Molly Geraldine (ew on Geraldine)
Jocelyn Elena (50, 192) = Myrtle Jeannette (ew on Myrtle)
Rhiannon Elisabeth (944, 512) = Karren Sherrill (EW ON THE WHOLE THING)
Georgina Audrey (296, 51) = Myra Sarah (this is ridiculous)
Bianca Noreen (176, 242) = Charlotte Bobbie (like Ricky Bobbie?)

Well, that was...nauseating. Let's see if I have better luck with the boys!

Marek Andrew (138, 10) = Otto Thomas (Hmmm.)
Connor James (55, 15) = Chris Joseph (plain, I prefer Christopher)
John Everett (19, 380) = Kevin Josiah (could be worse)
Nathan Eli (24, 130) = Christian Cristian (what are the odds???)
Levi Alexander (132, 11) = Juan Larry (BAHAHAHA!)

Wow...these are all...special. :) That was a fun game! I'm gonna ask my husband if we can name our firstborn son Juan Larry, just to see what sort of face he makes!
