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'm betting that's not German (JER-mun), but Germán (her-MAN, where the h is kind of like the ch sound in "ach"), which is used in Spanish-speaking places.

Rohan is a name used in India, but it's hard to tell how many of the parents may have been influenced by Lord of the Rings.
