Boys Names!

[nothingtolose19.livejournal.com]

Hi guys, sorry this is so delayed. I'm now doing the boy's names that were on the babynames site. I'll put them all together, I think.

Here is the link to my second post, which contains a link to my first post, lol. Basically, it's a calculation of how many names are on the potential baby names lists made by users, to see the most popular ones.

So, without further ado:

The most popular name for boys is a tie between Henry and Oliver, with eleven mentions apiece.

There were nine each of Benjamin, Declan, and Ethan.

Eight of Easton, Levi, Liam, and Ryan.

Seven of Asher, Beckett, Evan, Finn, Graham, Griffin, James, Logan, Luke, Nolan, and Tristan.

Six of Cole, Connor, Jasper, Kieran, Nathaniel, Noah, Owen, and Zachary.

Five of Aidan, Callum, Carter, Charles, Corbin, Dylan, Elijah, Gabriel, Hudson, Jack, Landon, Malcolm, Mason, Miles, Samuel, Sebastian, and Seth.

Four of Alexander, Atticus, Cohen, Desmond, Dominic, Emmett, Everett, Finnian, Gavin, Gideon, Holden, Jude, Julian, Lincoln, Linus, Lucas, Maddox, Nathan, Sawyer, Simon, and Tyler.

Three of Andrew, August, Bennett, Brayden, Casper, Chase, Christian, Daniel, Dashiell, Dexter, Donovan, Edmund, Elliot, Ezra, Felix, Finley, Hayden, Jacob, John, Lachlan, Maxwell, Milo, Nicholas, Reid, Ronan, Ryder, Silas, Soren, Spencer, Stellan, Theo, Thomas, and William.

Phew. Just one question ... well, actually, about a zillion I could ask, but why in the world would you name your kid Zero?!?! Hi, low self-esteem problem from BIRTH.  And I can't get over Cocoa - for a boy. Well, this person had it listed on white (for either/or) but they did have some for just girls and some for just boys, so I don't know, it seems like they purposely put it for either/or. Not that it's a great name for a girl, either... but for a boy? Seriously?

In response to your Zero question, there was an actor whose stage name was Zero Mostel (his birth name was Samuel Joel Mostel source (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0609216/bio)). Also, Hector Zeroni from Holes is nicknamed Zero. I don't know if that really "legitimizes" the name, but it's also not the first usage.

Oh, yes, I forgot about the character from Holes! Zero was an awesome character ... but I don't think I'd name my kid after him, just because I couldn't disassociate it with 0 ;)

I couldn't disassociate it with 0
I agree with you on that. I feel like it's one of those names that when you're introduced to someone/a character with that name, it's no big deal, but when you consider it by itself, it's like, "No way, it has such-and-such connotation for me." (Or at least, the second part of that is true for me with a lot of names.)

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I've met people before with names that suit them perfectly, but when you really think about it, they're not that great.

But for me, personally, I wouldn't go with Zero. But that's just me :p
