SSA 2014 Baby Name List is Here!

[dawnfire]

I don't know about you guys, but I've been soooo curious about the name list for 2014!

See it here

[dawnfire]

My baby's name moved up 10 to 103! I'm glad we're almost a top 100 name but not quite. Keepin' it interesting.

[littlemissmarla]

Ahhh I didn't realize Zoey would be #22 on the list. Oh well, I don't know any Zoey's around us!

[dawnfire]

I don't know any Zoeys around here, either. And what's really crazy is...there's another baby at our church nursery named Elias. I guess #103 is representing.

I guess my UO from the SSA list is I don't like Jaxon or Jaxson. Jackson I can understand. The others aren't like real names.

[jnnfrrose6]

Only 574 girls given DD's name last year. I'm good with that.

[rlb]

Serenity is higher than Violet. I find this odd. And waaaaay above Rachel (which has made a substantial drop since 2000 - from 21 to 155.

[soon2bmrsn]

Wow, Amelia is really creeping up! And Harper (her MN) is popular too! Oh well... I've still never met anyone IRL with either name.

Both of the boys' names are in the top 35 as well.

[soon2bmrsn]

The real kicker is the increase in popularity of my name. It was 532nd when I was born in 1982 and now it's 37th. And I'd never met another Ariana until I was ~25.

soon2bmrsn & alwaysnc4me, we're just trendsetters!

My niece who just turned 1 this week is Amelia, but they call her Millie. 

[GrrArgh]

Noa cracked the top 1000, I am impressed

[hurricanerek]

Camille is 250. I feel good about that. This list is fascinating.

I've never met a Genesis in my life. How is that name so popular?

[honeybee434]

Our name jumped up about 14 spots from last year. I'm ok with it.

[isolemnlyswear]

We are just outside the top 200 at 206. I'm happy with that. Not super popular but not out there either

[anotherdreamer]

DD1's is like 322, but DD2's isn't in the top 1000 (which doesn't surprise me).

When I was born my name was number 6 and there was always 1-2 other girls with my name in a class. I'm surprised some of these are so popular, since I never hear them. But I'll probably change my mind in a few years as these kids grow up and suddenly there are Emmas everywhere I turn lol.

[missilini]

#36. I didn't think Audrey was that popular.

[sararl07]

Did you notice the trend of girl names ending in a

Brianna is at 87 I am happy with that placement

[Deleted]

Landen is 294. I'm cool with that!

We have 2 Emmas in the nearby family if you count MNs, DD1 has a friend called Emma and it's my best friend's name and also the name of a family friend. There were 3 in my class in high school too so this doesn't surprise me.

Wow! The only Emma I know is an older relative. I'm sure I'll be hearing it a lot more!

[emilillies]

DD name isn't rated!

[alwaysnc4me]

As far as Amelia goes, where we live nobody has that name but everyone tells us how much they love it and we're hearing it a lot more on tv and I've seen it a few times in books recently.

Amelia for the WIN!

[Liv]

Yep, Juniper is an up and comer! It'll be fun to see if it blows up in a few years. I sure like it a lot!

[surfmama106]

Obviously Lelaina isn't ranked on the list anywhere. I seriously better not have another girl bc I'll never find another name I love so much that isn't super popular but as beautiful as Lelaina.

ETA: in my personal opinion

[mary1217]

Well we all know Charlotte is going to skyrocket because of the princess being named that.

dd is #59. And it looks like my name is getting less and less popular.

[gingergrant]

We're in the 300s, yay! DH and I both have top 10 names for our birth years, so our goal for LO was to find a name that wasn't too strsnge, but that wouldn't be super common either.

[rlb]

Cecelia and Amelia I love very much but DH wouldn't go for them. I'm really digging Juniper, but I know he'd put a kabosh on it.
