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.

What country is this from?

From: [identity profile] 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?

If you like Cadence, you should try Cadenza.

From: [identity profile] 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.

*LIKED IT BEFORE IT WAS A BRANGELINA NAME

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

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.
