Haha okay...that makes sense. Mis seemed awfully strange to me.

I swear I'm a trend setter with names! Ugh, lol. First baby name I picked out YEARS before I ever had him, then it was suddenly popular. Last baby's name has been picked out for the past 5-ish years and, once again, it's gained in popularity. Only once out of the 4 kids has the name not risen. I guess at least I manage to stay out of the top 10.

I always wonder how Baby Center's lists (since it's based off of most-searched names, I think) compare to the SSA list with the actual rankings.

[dustthouart.livejournal.com]

They base them off of the names that users put in as their child's name for that year. That's why you'll see names like "Monkey" and "Peanut" on there.

I feel like these names are just a big blur right now because I've seen them so many damn times over and over. Some of them aren't bad and I like but they just all look so boring at this point.

YES! *Fist pump* I am SO stoked that none of my names are on that list! Tiny victory, but still. ;)

One of my boy's names keeps getting closer to the top 10 and I think it's going to come off my list.

I wish they could rank with the varied spellings. Jackson/Jaxon/Jaxson is so popular. As are the 20 different spellings of Aiden and Jayden.

[renishas.livejournal.com]

They state that they have taken the varied spellings into account and the most popular/traditional version is the one shown.

Ah, well that explains why Jackson shot to #1!

We have friends with the last name "Jackman" and they have a dog named Jaxson. Which fits with their name. As a result, this trend with Jaxson just makes me think of their dog!

That's an awesome name for a dog.
