Social Security's Top 1000 Names for 2005

[museofmyself.livejournal.com]

For your viewing pleasure. Or in my case, horror. My daughter's name, Lily, has jumped to #39!! Nobody was naming their daughter Lily back in 1996! I thought I was giving my child a lovely, unusual name. Argh. ;)

I was surprised to see Nevaeh on there at all, let alone in 70th place. I hadn't heard of that name apart from on forums; I don't know if it has found its way here to Australia yet.

such a ridiculous name. Of course my future daughter's best friend is going to be this poor child, and I will have to call her that, even though I am still unsure how to pronounce it.

I think Heaven is a less ridiculous name. My friend wrote a story and the girl was Heaven Leigh. It sounds corny, and it is, but it's not as bad!
