I wouldn't be surprised to meet a baby by either of those names. Shows what I know, though!</p> <p>I prefer Jess and Jenn over the full versions of their names. They always just seemed very cool girl names to me, haha. </p> <p>I met someone who was going to name their kid Tiffany recently. I was pretty surprised, since that is pretty 80s to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2172565 Fri, 08 May 2015 21:29:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2172565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: I do associate Amanda with the later 70's, 80's and early 90's. A lot of Amanda's are within five years of age from me. And I haven't heard it on anyone younger than me!<br /> But I do agree that Jenna and Danielle are more wider used- but still weren't really used until the 70's-80's I think... I still associate the names with certain ages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2172559 Fri, 08 May 2015 21:19:13 +0000 farawayyama 2172559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's name is on the list. I am kinda sad though. It's a family name - my great-grandmother's name and my middle name. It has been my #1 contender for well over a decade and now I finally have a DD it's popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171963 Fri, 08 May 2015 11:34:28 +0000 birdofafeather 2171963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaughLines: Instead of just pressing the link, hold your finger on the link and it should pop up to open in a new tab!

Safe for now. None of my faves were on those lists!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171834 Fri, 08 May 2015 10:15:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2171834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This list basically epitomizes the names of our generation.</p> <p>Danielle or Daniella is a classic and I was surprised to find it there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171814 Fri, 08 May 2015 10:03:25 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2171814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Besides the names that were 2003 peaks like Haley and Jordan, it's all of the names of all of my friends! So either they feel like mom names or they still feel really prevalent or popular. I love Jessica though...I think it should become a classic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171737 Fri, 08 May 2015 09:10:43 +0000 Pirouette 2171737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i actually know a decent # of baby hayleys! and i didn't realize jenna, amanda and danielle had dropped so much, they aren't names i associate specifically with a generation like jessica, jennifer. i like danielle too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171725 Fri, 08 May 2015 09:02:34 +0000 catlady 2171725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the dropping names are not too surprising, they mostly feel like 80s or 90s to me. Which isn't a bad thing, but when I meet a Jessica or Jennifer, I expect them to be closer in age to me than to LO. We know a baby Megan and we were surprised at the name choice actually.</p> <p>Some of the rising ones were a little weird. I like Lincoln alot though, that was on our "boy" list before we found out LO was a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171591 Fri, 08 May 2015 06:53:52 +0000 LaughLines 2171591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting list! I wish they had kept the scale consistent, some were much higher than others and had farther drops but the scales moved</p> <p>@mrbee: this article is good example of why it would be nice if links opened in new tabs instead of directing away from HB. To get back to this page I had to hit back like 12 times back through all the slides. I know on computers you can hit control + click to open in a new tab, but I either don't remember or I'm on my phone and can't do that (like right now) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171543 Fri, 08 May 2015 05:33:11 +0000 illumina 2171543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised about Jessica--I know a few people who have used this one recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171541 Fri, 08 May 2015 05:30:07 +0000 Ree723 2171541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must be pretty boring as none of the names on the rising names list appeal to me. Not at all. The falling names I'm pretty meh on for babies, but mainly because I associate a lot of those names with people my own age.</p> <p>All that being said, I've never been one for trendy names - I like classic names that withstand the test of time and don't scream out one particular decade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171532 Fri, 08 May 2015 04:56:30 +0000 mediagirl 2171532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's name is on that list. Ha! I'm curious to see if these names change in popularity in 20+ years when our children become parents. The list of the dropping names sounds like roll call at my high school!</p> <p>The list of rising names doesn't surprise me but... Ugh. I'm not a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171507 Fri, 08 May 2015 01:55:18 +0000 AprilFool 2171507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name and my mothers name are on the list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171241 Thu, 07 May 2015 18:41:48 +0000 rachiecakes 2171241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting!<br /> My mom is a Jennifer, born in early 1950s. </p> <p>And my friend just had a little Seth two years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171231 Thu, 07 May 2015 18:27:54 +0000 dc yoga bee 2171231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Danielle is my middle name! I'm surprised Erin is dropping fast. The others don't surprise me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171217 Thu, 07 May 2015 18:06:53 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2171217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Seth and Megan!</p> <p>And Haley, though it doesn't go with our last name. @WinterBee: I thought Haley was still popular too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171189 Thu, 07 May 2015 17:28:12 +0000 WinterBee 2171189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I love Lincoln, DH vetoed it right away, bleh.<br /> I'm not too surprised by the declining list, but I do still see a lot of Haley's and Jordan's out there!<br /> I thought Haley was back on it's way up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171173 Thu, 07 May 2015 17:11:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2171173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: oh I love Hailey/Haley/Hayley- such a pretty and sweet name. </p> <p>I love a lot of the rising names too: Lincoln, Mila, Aria, Jase, and Scarlett. </p> <p>I'm not surprised by Penelope- a few people I know recently named their daughters that. Also not surprised about Jaxon/Jackson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decades-fastest-dropping-baby-names#post-2171165 Thu, 07 May 2015 17:04:29 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2171165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://names.mooseroots.com/stories/3050/popular-baby-names-declining/?utm_medium=social.paid&#038;utm_source=facebook&#038;utm_campaign=ao.sp.fb.dt.3050&#038;utm_content=names-popular-baby-declining&#038;utm_term=moose" rel="nofollow">http://names.mooseroots.com/stories/3050/popular-baby-names-declining/?utm_medium=social.paid&#038;utm_source=facebook&#038;utm_campaign=ao.sp.fb.dt.3050&#038;utm_content=names-popular-baby-declining&#038;utm_term=moose</a></p> <p>Interesting list! Surprised by the name Danielle though - I loooove that name, and would've been a top contender if it weren't my SIL's name. I also really like Seth, and a friend recently named her baby Jordan.</p> <p>In contrast, they also have a list for the decade's fastest rising baby names - <a href="http://names.mooseroots.com/stories/3037/todays-trendiest-fastest-rising-baby-names#2-Jaxson" rel="nofollow">http://names.mooseroots.com/stories/3037/todays-trendiest-fastest-rising-baby-names#2-Jaxson</a> </p>
