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. ;)

My name is #353, down from #330 in '04. I hope it continues to go downward, because I'll be damned if my name and "trendy" are used in the same sentence! Then again, there was a chick on American Idol with my name, so it might go up in popularity...booo.

Anyways, that list was kinda depressing. I just saw a ton of misspelled names (Makaila?!?!), a lot of those annoying "aden" names, and a ton of names ending in "lyn" (Kaelyn? Jaelyn??? What??). And what was up with the multiple spellings of Cadence, Cameron, and Madison?
