It's a pretty typical list for today. I like some of the names because I like some popular names (including Madison and Katelyn and Olivia) but I would never ever use them.

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

There were other names on there too, which I omitted because they weren't "popular", including: Taraneh, Sultanna, Storey, Chlodosinde, Flordespina, and Amarige.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

whoa! You should have included those! Interesting!

[bree019.livejournal.com]

I knew a slutty girl named Sultanna.

As for Chlodosinde......the hell?

[smasharash.livejournal.com]

Chlodosinde, Flordespina

They sound like chemicals!

[adamant-turtle.livejournal.com]

Or prescriptions...

"Hi, I'm here to pick up my flordespina..."

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

I quite like Flordespina, actaully, although I wouldn't name any (future!) child of mine that. Chlodosinde and Flordespina are sisters, and I believe the names are mythological, possibly French as well. Flordespina definitely sounds French to me.

Taraneh and Sultanna are also sisters, and they're awesome kids, 11 and 14, definitely not sluts, haha. I knew I slutty girl named Katie Beth if that says anything!!

hehe I like Brianna, until my hubby told me it was a porn name.. So I did a search and every single link for at least the first two pages, that came up for the name brianna was for porn. :( It totally turned me against the name.

LOL @ Emma x 8. Jesus.

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, everyone is called Emma. There were a lot of Rebeccas too, surprisingly. A few years back, it seemed everyone was called Meghan/Meagan/Megan ...

These girls range in age from 4 to about 25, btw.

I love Abigail, Cassandra, Genevieve, and Olivia.

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

Two Leah's? Awesome. My name is Leah and I don't really know any other Leah's. Eight Emma's? Geez. I didn't think it was nearly that popular. The Emma's I know are all under age 5. And three Shelby's? Wow.

Eiryn?

Ew.

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that is one of my all-time favourite "wtf? spellings" along with Annagh.

[ellycopter.livejournal.com]

annagh is a crime.

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

Anna is my favourite girl's name - I hate that alternate spelling!!!

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

that's the most ordinary and boring list ever.
