Babycenter just put out their 2012 list of top 100 baby names. Where does your LO's name fall?
http://www.babycenter.com/top-baby-names-2012
Our little girl will be the 20th most popular.
-
link?
ETA: #35 for boys.
our next boy's name isn't on the list, neither is our top 2 girls names
-
@bebefly: OOPS! Fixed.
-
She's 40th. Perfect IMO - not super popular it not totally strange either.
-
our girls' names aren't on the list at all, YAY. their names are Hazel and Mayer [MY-er!].
-
Ahhh 5th! Except in our area it's not really common, I know no one with the name. My name even made that list, with a different spelling at #15...crazy.
-
@MaisyMay: Amelia? Did I count right? If so, that name was totally on our short list.
Even is 40 or 41 I think...I'm on my phone and the counting is hard, lol.
-
It won't be on there!
-
My daughter's name isn't there... and the name we chose for our #2 son isn't there either!
-
Our DDs isn't on there!
-
My son's isn't on there (not surprised!!). I checked ssa.gov and the alternate spelling of his name is 500th, but his name the way we spell it isn't even in the top 100 names.
Our top two girl names (for the future) aren't on the list either, and are just barely in the top 500 on ssa.gov.
-
Not on there! I think the only place our name is popular is Israel.
-
Not on there. His name doesn't make the top 500 SSA list either, but I wouldn't consider it weird or unusual.
-
Cs is #22. Our next girls name is #47. Our boys name isnt on the list.
-
@BeachMama: we also wants something kinda common but not top 10ish. I didn't realize it would be top 20 though.
@FutureMrsMcK: good counting.
-
My LOs name isn't on the list, but there are several that are close to her name. Her name is Annalie!
-
I wonder how accurate this list is. According to SSA, DS's name is top 25 but according to babycenter, it's top 5. Even though his name is popular, we don't know anyone with his name.
-
DD is 42 and DS isn't on there
-
Out of our entire baby name list, only one is on there, and it's #99.
-
Her name isn't there.
-
We've never met anyone with the name but her name is number 7 with a slightly different spelling.
-
Not on the list, but then it's a European boys name
-
Not on the list, and it's a simple biblical name.
A lot of girls names we liked are on there though. -
#3!
-
His name isn't on the list and neither are my top 2 girl names.
-
Not in the list!
-
44!
-
33 (boy)! dang that really jumped from last year!
-
Not on the list... I'm kinda surprised...
-
Not on the list!
-
DD's name is number 100 - just barely made it on the list!
@Sweet T: Since they say it's based on parents that report names to them, I don't really trust it. IMO the social security name list is the only reliable record of use of names in a year, and that one doesn't come out until May of the following year usually.
-
She is number 40, I can't even believe it's getting so high up there.
-
too, too high!
-
I am bummed, the name we picked up climbed the charts since last year.
-
Not on the list. Ssa.gov says its never been in the top 1,000 in the past 12 years. Babycenter says its #17,536. But I knew it's an extremely uncommon name.
-
Not on the list! That's OK with me!
-
Not on the list! I looked it up and it was #885.
-
@mamabolt: @Sweet T: I don't think it's as accurate, but also they say they combine like names-- so Kaitlin, including all spellings, would be much higher than Caitlyn, Caitlin, Kaitlyn, etc, individually, if that makes sense. Though they do have both Jack and Jackson.
It's funny, I personally know babies with like, 15 out of the top 20 names for both boys and girls. Our top boy and girl names are pretty far down the list, which I'm glad about-- 80th for boy, 93 for girl.
-
It's not on there, and I didn't expect it to be. I don't think I've seen it on a list under #400 or so. And yet, it isn't weird.
-
We're not even on the list
ETA our #1 girl pick though is #23! (but we were going to spell it differently)
