I didn't know Victoria was that popular! I like Chloe, but doubt I would use it. And I am thankful that none of my guy names are in the top 25.

Eeep. The top boy's name on our list is #9.

Ha, and actually my dad's first name and my husband's first *and* middle names are in the top 12. Like whoa.

I'm glad to see that none of my favorite girl names are on this list. Two of my favorite boy names are though... William and Logan.

I like most of the, though they were all pretty predictable. On my list are Elizabeth, Samuel and Gabriel.

[blosmbee.livejournal.com]

Only girl name I seriously considered on that list was Elizabeth. None of my top boy names are listed, although with our first kid, Logan was our first choice before we realized how trendy it was.

I'm surprised by Rosalie. Twilight effect, I assume?

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

Quebec effect, actually. Rosalie is extremely popular in Quebec, so that's what's putting it in the top 25.

Seems Sophia is not that popular anymore... anyway, Sophia, Megan and Jade are my favourite in the girl's list, while Gabriel, Daniel, Logan, Thomas, and James are my favourite for boys.

My boy names are so conventional compared to the girl names...

[soulsplinter8.livejournal.com]

I didn't expect to see Aidan all the way down at #24. I must say I am pleasantly surprised. Must make way for the latest trends eventually, I suppose...

Canada, Canada. Why you gotta go and let me down? With the girl names, anyway. Blerg. I could I could be paid to use one of them. My favourite boy name isn't on the list, but a couple of names that I have on my list as middle names are, so that's not all too bad.
