SSA names list

[aggiebug]

the 2016 list is out.

I always find it interesting to see where the name we pick ends up falling on the list.

[jubilantsquirrel]

I love when this list comes out!

DS1 is 150, which is about 10 spots lower than previous years.

DS2 is 23, which I think is a good 10 spots higher than where it was last year, but I expected a jump.

[goldenlove3]

C is 196 and has been dropping on the list over the years.

[ClassyMrsA]

Lilah was 298. Lillian was 25 in 2014 and was 28 last year.

[aggiebug]

C I is in in the 40s and slowly dropping.

His big sister is at its lowest point in decades at 50 something.

[sophiegrace]

#6, but we knew that when we named her.

[dashook]

DS is in the 800's, which is actually a bit lower than when he was born (it was like 950 I think).

D is in the higher 200's, which is mildly surprising. She got beat out by "names" like Daleyza though so I guess we're still sorta yoo-neek.

oh yes, "you-neek" is exactly what I think of when I think of D's name. Haha. (Sarcasm font if it wasn't obvious)

I grew up my whole life never knowing another "D". Then in the last year at work there were 2 more. Obviously my age but still, it's weird.

[hangry]

Really goldenlove3, I know many D's!!

[hangry]

E is in the 70's but everyone thinks, or at least asks, if we pronounce it like the similar top 10 name. I never expected people to think that's how you would pronounce it.

O sits in the high 100's.

They both have stayed relatively level in the past decade.

Nope the only one I knew of was my aunt's sister. Not even variations.

Oh the bride of the wedding I'm at right now is a D too!!

I was laughing that your butterfly didn't want to get out.

It was so weird!!

Someone on FB just named their daughter Locksley. Am I missing something? Because I feel like I missed the boat on this one.

I seriously can't handle some of the names. Call me a judgmental bitch but come on, fucking "Journee" is not a name!

[tallblonde]

N is 36 and has been rising in popularity. I knew it was common, but it has family meaning to us, so I'm not bothered by it. My name is still in top 10, and has been for a longgg time.


J is #28 and has fallen, I have yet to meet another toddler with the same name though, everyone thinks it is almost retro.

A kid in my neighborhood is named Journee. They live right by our park and every time I walk by, I can't help but feel bad for the kid. Eta: they have one of those sports signs with the kid's name on it. I'm not weirdly obsessive. Lol.

Also, a former co-worker named her daughter Kensley.

[tjanca22]

L's name didn't make the list, at least for girls, but we knew that when we named her. It's #50 if you look at the boys list.

E's name was 135 in the year he was born and was 114 last year. Not surprised considering I've met a bunch since he was born. Here I thought his name wasn't well known!

That makes me think of Robin Hood.

Yep me too

While I was looking for names for C, I read an article about popularity of names and how it's not like how it was when we were growing up. The #1 names only have 20,000 whereas in the 80s, they had 50-70,000. So names are just more spread out, probably because there are so many made up and "unique" ones out there now.

[hangry]

Ok, ok, I can't resist name talk.... If you were going to have another baby tomorrow, what would you name it? You can take your partners opinion into consideration or not.


I am loving Hazel (I won't tag, but if she reads this, love her name @ann16poster!) for a girl and Theodore for a boy right now.

[dashook]

I have a lot of boy names that I love. Declan, Trevor, Tyler, Evan, a bunch more. We probably won't use them though. H likes Dennis, Kevin, and James. Yawn.

We already know what we will name another daughter if we have one (because of naming after people). So this is 100% theoretical, but even still for some reason I have a harder time with girl names. I like names like Sage, Ava, Juliet, Julia, Joanna. Not sure MH would go for any of those.

[ClassyMrsA]

If we had another, for a boy we like Leopold James.

For a girl I like Lacie, Liberty, and Lorelei. Middle name would be a family name. Probably Marie, Susanna (Susan), or Jacquelyn. Possibly Georgia since we have lots of men named George on both sides.

[jubilantsquirrel]

I would probably pick Iris for a girl. I've also been in love with hangry's E name forever. It's so beautiful.

For a boy, probably Elias. MH wasn't a fan though. I also like Harlan, but again, H hated it.

[dashook]

danib I love Clara!

Iris and Elias have always been top nes for me too.

[cheshie6]

L is technically #3 for Boys, nickname is #2... lol but it's a family name so what can we do!?!

[cheshie6]

tgrimes1980, if L was a girl he would have been a Vivienne. My other boys name is Dashiel!

[goldenlove3]

I wish I had names that I love right off the top of my head but I can't think of anything. Names were such a pain in the butt to pick out for us.
