BORINGGG! thank goodness Angelina didn't name her children Coochina or Dickby.

[kimberpotamus.livejournal.com]

These are the ones I like, everything else is pretty boring.

Ethan, Evan, and Micah

Lila, Layla, Mia, Ruby and Sydney.

Also I am over "Zoey" it's an incredibly silly spelling.
Esme???? It's fine if you're 80.

[babyjess8.livejournal.com]

Haha I think I counted every Twilight name. Except maybe Carlilse.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I can't believe Amelia is #1. :(

[swimminglyso.livejournal.com]

What country is this from?

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

It's not from a specific country...it's based on the ratings of the names on babynames.com plus how often they are used on people's babynames.com lists.

i'm kind of scared of how many names from twilight are on this list. i expected a few of them, but seriously?? ugh. especially since i love some of those names and i'd prefer that people didn't associate them...but why else would emmett all of a sudden be popular?

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I know a girl who is either naming her baby Ethan Edward or Rosalie Renee.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

A lot of great names, a few I'm indifferent about. A couple that I really dislike, but not too many.

I do like the following:

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

20+94 make up my sons name. That makes me sad.

[pap3r-heart.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize Oliver had become so popular. :(
It's one of fave boy names.

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

I like:
Noah
Liam

Nathan
Elliott

Eli
Jillian/Gillian (this surprises me)

Only Audrey, Nathaniel, Eli & Adam are on my list though, so it's all good. And besides, I won't be having children in a very long time.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

Cadence

[nederlandergirl.livejournal.com]

If you like Cadence, you should try Cadenza.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

Cadenza is nice, but it would probably sound weird with a lot of last names. It would sound awful with the surnames of any guys I've dated so far.

AMELIA, MADELINE, LILY, CHARLOTTE, ELISABETH, GRACE, AUDREY, EMILY, CLAIRE, LAYLA/LEILA, NATALIE, VIOLET, LUCY, NORAH, PAIGE, MIA, EVELYN, AURORA, ZOE, VIVIENNE*, ALLISON, CAROLINE, CATHERINE, ESME, ISLA

LEVI, JASPER, HENRY, EMMETT, IAN, MICAH, SAMUEL, THOMAS, NOAH, LUCAS,
BENJAMIN, ALEXANDER, GABRIEL, WILLIAM, JAMES, NICHOLAS

*LIKED IT BEFORE IT WAS A BRANGELINA NAME

I hate it how the names I like have all moved up in popularity :-/

[nederlandergirl.livejournal.com]

These were all hipster in like, 1992.

[florallove.livejournal.com]

so glad none of my top names are on this list. but sad that many that I like are on there:/

I think the names that are starting to become trendier are much better than the ones of the past few years.
