Still out of the top 100 so I guess I'm okay with that. Her middle name, Ann, ranked 996!</p> <p>Gavin was ranked 52 the year he was born and has jumped to 36. Most of the Gavin's we know are younger than DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out/page/2#post-169964 Sat, 26 May 2012 18:31:42 +0000 prettylizy 169964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: that's my DDs name :) we named her after my maternal grandmother, and I've loved it for years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out/page/2#post-169960 Sat, 26 May 2012 17:44:46 +0000 stargal 169960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our son's name (who is due in july!) isnt on the list, hasnt been in a 100 years! i was surprised, its unique but not completely out there or anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out/page/2#post-159156 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:05:18 +0000 Running Elley 159156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't chosen a name yet but my favorite girl name was 24! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out/page/2#post-159085 Tue, 15 May 2012 12:21:17 +0000 lavender 159085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's name is #526, and keeping steady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out/page/2#post-159027 Tue, 15 May 2012 11:48:05 +0000 googly-eyes 159027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummed...our name went up about 70 spots. :( But since my husband picked it and he is totally attached to it, and I love it too, we'll keep it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out/page/2#post-158938 Tue, 15 May 2012 10:51:21 +0000 MsLipGloss 158938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The front-runner for our baby girl didn't break the top 1000. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out/page/2#post-158921 Tue, 15 May 2012 10:40:06 +0000 loveisstrange 158921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. DD's name went up 19 places to #27. FML. I hate that it's that popular. It was number #46 when we picked it. </p> <p>Her middle name is #470. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out/page/2#post-158908 Tue, 15 May 2012 10:31:51 +0000 Mrs. Blue 158908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My own name must be special: neither my first or middle name has been in the top 1000 for the last 12 years (or ever, I'm sure). Unfortunately, our two favorite girl names are in the top 5, which I hate! We may have to change. I've loved Ava since HS, log before it soared in popularity, and Emma was DH's great-Grandma's name. We always thought we would name our daughters Ava and Emma, but now that we're more into the baby world and know how popular they have become, we'll probably change. We don't want our kids to have crazy different names (like mine), but we also don't want them to have to go by Ava T. their whole life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out/page/2#post-158861 Tue, 15 May 2012 10:01:52 +0000 Shutterbug 158861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not pregnant, but my fave girl name is #267.

LO's name jumped up to the top 100. Oh well. We love her name - I guess a lot of other people loved it this past year too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out#post-158577 Mon, 14 May 2012 21:36:36 +0000 Pancakes 158577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's name is not on the list. I really thought it would crack the top 1000 this year! Her middle name is #50!</p> <p>According to the SSA website, only 66.9% of all girls' names are represented in the top 1000 in 2011. So, even though a name in the top 10 doesn't automatically mean that there will be 5 Sophias/Isabellas/etc in a class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out#post-158573 Mon, 14 May 2012 21:25:57 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 158573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I think it is so classic. I also was surprised that it is so popular, but the nicknames are endless, so I guess we probably see more kids using the nicknames than the full name. It is Mr. Jacks' paternal grandmother's name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out#post-158570 Mon, 14 May 2012 21:18:15 +0000 Sweet T 158570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS's first name is in the top 23 and his middle name is in the top 75! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out#post-158567 Mon, 14 May 2012 21:08:26 +0000 mediagirl 158567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: your first daughter's middle name was my paternal grandmother's middle name. I think it's such a beautiful name, but I'm surprised it's as popular as it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out#post-158566 Mon, 14 May 2012 21:05:07 +0000 mediagirl 158566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @Mrs. Jacks: I can't wait to share it!

I don't know any personally. My DS' name is #93...

Her middle name is Marie, which I thought was super popular but I guess it's not very popular as a first name since it's rank is 599. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ss-admin-2011-list-is-out#post-158531 Mon, 14 May 2012 20:18:08 +0000 skibobrown 158531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're # 508, and holding steady for the last decade right around 500th place.
