It's more popular in MA than the U.S. Overall though, and I know it's getting more popular. </p> <p>I love when these listings come out every year. It's funny looking at some of the names with similar rankings as it goes higher- a way out there (to me) name will be next to something that I think of as very normal, like Seth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-10-baby-names-of-2014#post-2172043 Fri, 08 May 2015 12:47:01 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2172043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, my daughter's name has gone from #984 (when we named her) to #549 as of this year.

I can't find that article, but here's one about it being #1 in the US for the past century: <a href="http://lifestyle.howstuffworks.com/family/parenting/babies/10-most-popular-baby-names-of-all-time.htm#page=10" rel="nofollow">http://lifestyle.howstuffworks.com/family/parenting/babies/10-most-popular-baby-names-of-all-time.htm#page=10</a>. Our DS is James and it amazed me how many people came out after we picked that name and were like "oh, that's my real name but I go by...." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-10-baby-names-of-2014#post-2171992 Fri, 08 May 2015 12:09:10 +0000 Alivoo01 2171992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS isn't on there, but I'm liking the name Abigail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-10-baby-names-of-2014#post-2171982 Fri, 08 May 2015 11:58:22 +0000 Ginabean3 2171982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, DD's name is in the 30s....and one of our name choices for DD #2 is in the 300s! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-10-baby-names-of-2014#post-2171969 Fri, 08 May 2015 11:42:14 +0000 BSB 2171969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: Cool!

It was 357 the year she was born (2011), and now it's up to 251. Not surprising since I'm hearing it more and more, but I'm ok with that - familiar but not popular. DS' name hasn't been in the Top 1000 since 2007!</p> <p>I like the little data snippet at the bottom of each name, gives more perspective.</p> <p>Even the top name, Emma, is only ~1% of the population:<br /> <i>More information for female name Emma:<br /> - For 2014, the number of births with name Emma is 20799, which represents 1.073 percent of total female births in 2014.<br /> - The year when the name Emma was most popular is also 2014.</i> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-10-baby-names-of-2014#post-2171941 Fri, 08 May 2015 11:13:46 +0000 Boopers 2171941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I teach first grade and between two classes there are four Jacksons that spell their names 3 different ways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-10-baby-names-of-2014#post-2171940 Fri, 08 May 2015 11:11:39 +0000 whenoceansrise 2171940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Micah's is number 109.

I bet if you add those in with those named Charlie it's a lot more! </p> <p>LO's name made a big jump in 2013. In 2014 it only increased popularity by 4 points. It's in the top 50 but not top 25. I would have preferred to stay out of the top 100 but I love her name so much! </p>
