I was soooo excited this morning! I went on the site expecting to look at 2009's popularity charts, but 2010 was out! So, I'm enjoying looking through it now! Woot! So, anyone else who has time to look through or already has, what do you think?

i love/like alot of the names on there

[ashooles]

I like a lot of the boys names, but the girls ones are mostly names I'm not a huge fan of.

[Remy Hadley]

Sadly, I like a lot of the popular names... Especially William/Liam So sad that its rediculously popular!

Aww, I'm sorry! You can always good SSA name charts and stuff, and it comes up for me Its how I found it haha! <3

I'm just glad Ariana isn't in the top 50. That was my cutoff for how popular her name can be.

Ariana Danielle is rated 83 & 195 respectfully

YAY!!!!

If she had been a boy Seth Nathanial Seth is 165 & Nathanial isn't even on the chart but NathaniEl is 82

I love the boys' names, the girls' I'm not a huge fan of. My favorites kinda shocked me on their placement.
Gabriel (21) - I knew it was high on the list but I was thinking it'd be higher. The others were a lot lower than I would have expected (Damian 121, Marcus 130, Rebekah 404, & Kristen 574).

I like a lot of them! However, I am surprised that some of them are as popular as they are. I can't believe that Jayden is #4! And I also can't believe that Mason is #12. Don't get me wrong, these aren't bad names by any means, I just didn't realize how popular they actually are!

What really shocked me the most was that Angel made the boys list at #40. I didn't even know Angel was being used as a boys name. Another name that I didn't realize was unisex: Alexis. I don't know about you, but I much prefer it on a girl.

For the most part, I liked a lot of them, with a few exceptions

Damn. Both Emily, Grace and Noah are right at the top 15. -cries-
Hopefully by the time I decide to have kids, they'll have gone down in popularity. :] ♥

Baaaasically :/ My fingers are crossed for the same result! Cause bunches of my favorites are so damn popular :'( If Liam and William both remain so popular I might end up keeping it as a personal favorite that'll never get used </3

But same, Annie Faith! I would have never guessed Mason was so popular! I mean, it's handsome and all. But I didn't realize everyone else thought so too And agreed... I prefer Alexis on a girl.

Angel is probably from all the mexican/spanish backgrounded people. pronounced ahn-hell. (so it's not quite like just calling them angel lol). Just like Jesus (hey-sue). I personally don't care for it, but I suppose there is definitely much much much worse than that haha! <3 (not to say its bad or anything <3)

I think the top 50 would probably be my cut off for when I have kiddo's as well...

I noticed a pattern here, for the SSA charts. That the girls names, the more popular ones have more babies named by each name. While the boys names seem to be much closer in the amount of babies named by each name. And after like, the top 20/30 or something in the girls names... a significant drop happened. I just thought that was interesting. It'd drop from like, 3000 babies. (that sounds awkward....... hope that makes sense though!). As you go farther down the list, all the names are really close. Like, even with in the 10-20 area babies will still have like 9,010 then 9002 or something. And in the top 1-10, it'd be 20,000 to 17,000 and so on an so forth. Kinda neat

[brittany111]

they all seem to be such 'safe' names. the same ones going round and round. i like mos of them though. i have the trouble. i love bree, but if i was expecting a girl should i call her brianna and have everyone call her bree? i dont want it to be a rrediculously popular name tho :S all the names see like they have been in the top rotating for the last few yrs
