Luckily, DD's name comes in at 146, having dropped from 2011!</p> <p>My name was pretty popular growing up, and I thought it was super annoying, so I really didn't want DD to have the same issue </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out/page/2#post-770941 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:35:41 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 770941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our 2 favorite girl names went down yay!

We spell hers with an a instead of an e but I think they are pronounced the same; with a z sound not like the flower. Our name for a future dd is Annetta. My name is from Shakespeare :) I think you have an awesome name! (I am not a stalker I just remember it from a WB thread because it I had never heard it before). I wish our boy name was less popular but I adore anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out/page/2#post-770563 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:28:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 770563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: really?! maybe it's considered a variation of the first few letters? I don't think it's strange, I love her name!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out/page/2#post-770552 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:25:39 +0000 yellowbird 770552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I searched for my LOs name and apparently it hasn't broken the top 1000 in the last 100 years! I don't think it's that strange! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out/page/2#post-770532 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:20:55 +0000 googly-eyes 770532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: good point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770470 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:08:27 +0000 illumina 770470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our planned name is #261 - not sure what it is in the UK but know it didn't make the top 100 for the last few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770453 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:05:34 +0000 Ra 770453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brady is #136. Not too bad.</p> <p>@runsyellowlites: Now I am super curious as to what your name is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770451 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:05:20 +0000 runsyellowlites 770451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheesetomywhine: Thanks! It totally suites her.. I just wish we could come up with a nn we liked. Also, now I want to know what your "unpopular" names are! lol!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770440 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:03:09 +0000 cheesetomywhine 770440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: love that name! It would totally be on my list for a future dd but alas, Rs name ends in -lyn. Rs name is not in the top 1000 but an alternate spelling is just below 900. Our future boys name is just below 200 and I cannot decide if that is too popular for me. Future girls name is not in the top 1000. My name is not listed either :) @runsyellowlites: Love Ps name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770389 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:53:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 770389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO is on the list. But I just read a statistic that 60 years ago, 1/4 of all babies had the number-one name. but today, only 1% of newborns received the top name. so I'm not worried! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770387 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:52:55 +0000 Mrsjets 770387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I really love Penny from Big Bang so Penelope ranked in our top 10 for girl names a year ago - though we had a boy. I hope a Kardashian doesn't have influence on the public :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770357 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:41:23 +0000 runsyellowlites 770357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: I just saw our next name choices both jumped up almost 100 spots. Girl choice still being out of the top 700 &amp; boy out of the top 200 but see the jump still makes me question how the coming years may go!</p> <p>I tell you, everytime I get pregnant I have to ask my mom again HOW she came up with my name seeing how it'll never rank. I don't think I could ever be lucky enough to think of something like that! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770353 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:39:45 +0000 loveisstrange 770353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I have a super common 80s name and it always really annoyed me that my name was so common. We named her that against my reservations because we love the name. :/ I really hope she doesn't have 3 of her in every class like I did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770346 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:37:04 +0000 Bookish 770346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: @zippylef: I felt the same way. We were going to name LO Abigail until I saw how popular it was. That killed it for me :/ </p> <p>@scg00387: Thank you! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770340 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:35:54 +0000 runsyellowlites 770340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: =( I know alot don't care but name popularity was a HUGE factor in our name choice so I totally get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ssa-top-10-baby-names-for-2012-are-out#post-770335 Thu, 09 May 2013 13:34:08 +0000 googly-eyes 770335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C goes by the nn of her real name (we even considered changing it, we use the nn pretty much exclusively!) and the nn went up almost 50 spots.
