Despite Social Security top 10, what are the WAY too overdone names where you live?

VTGal

I read the "top 10" lists all the time, but truth be known, I don't know too many of those names around here. The names I'm totally sick of are not in the top 10 at all. My DD is Charlotte which is on the list, but I don't know ANY others! Just wondering if anyone else thought the same thing.

Around here: Landon, Jackson, Grace and Kaylin are used to death

Charlotte is one of my favorite names but I could never use it now because I literally know 8 baby Charlotte's born this last year. It's definitely going to break the top 10 this year.

Every version of Kylie/kaylee, Jayden on boys and girls and every version of bella/Isabella

NerdyLucy

I still feel like I'm in a sea of Madison, Addison, Riley, Bryson, Jayden, Cayden. 

Emma and Jackson are popular too, but I don't know any little Charlottes.

cmw&tdm

Lily and Henry are probably the most popular of people we know/are in my kids' classes.

MusicFanatic

I have a lot of Emily and Emma's in my dance classes.  Also Gabrielle, I have 3 of them this year.  But I still love all 3.

sandraanddrew

Olivia and Jackson.  I know of 4 Olivia's and 5 Jackson's all born in the past year.  Also, one of the kindergarten classes at my school had 4 Jack's in it.  It's insane trying to keep them all straight.

TNgoldengirl

Not the most popular, but a lot of Paisleys are starting to pop up. 

And then of course the Aiden, Jayden, Cayden, Brayden, etc. 

mommyginab

Karen whichever way its spelled, Kate Lynn as well, hunter, Abby, McKenzie, jaylin, I could go on and on. 

KristaU831

Tons of Addies, Eve/Eva/Evies (which i love), Jackson and all variant spellings, Olivia. 

But really i notice more adults with the same names than children. I know about 32342 Jessicas and almost as many Brittanys. Tons of Robs and Mikes also.  

Zimger

Smoosh names of various spellings and Hunter. Yuck.

Portland1916

Addison is huge here for girls. Lots of Williams, Elliots and Henrys for boys.

NHbride129

Zoe... I think I know 15 of them. Charlotte and Henry are also very popular.

Smallstar

I know a ton of kids with the name Mason, Charlotte, and Olivia.  Amelia has also popped up multiple times recently. 

kushie77

Mason, Grayson and all the Aiden, Caden, Jaydens

Neveah refuses to die around these parts.  Tons of Charlotte and Evelyn girls also.

Lisa&Mark

Avery, Olivia, Hannah, Claire, Scarlett are all very popular...

For boys I don't notice as much but I guess Henry is the most overused.

BleubirdOnAWire

Too many friends in my community of musicians have named their girls some version of Jazz..Jazmina/Jasmine, Jasmina, etc. Enough!

LisaG09

I work with children and the name I see most is Carter, followed by Eloise and Madison.

Skeemer

Mason, Sophia, Logan , Jackson (all of it's various spellings) & Addison/Adda names.

julesgilead

For girls: Zoe/Zoey, Gabrielle/Gabriella, Isabelle/Isabella, Sophia, any form of Madeline, Lily, and Katie.
For boys: Jack, Hunter, and Gabriel.
Also, I'm seeing Rory on both genders popping up a lot lately.

LtlAngL

Girls: Olivia, Sophia, Charlie (not short for Charlotte)

Boys: Aiden, Liam, Connor, Grayson

MinnesotaMomma91

Every version of jackson especially jaxon. I know two moms due within two months of each other both having boys named jaxon so they can call him jax

Im also bored of jaden. I know two.

Oh and evelyn. Its a beautiful name, but i know three people who named their daughters evelyn

lmross

Harper, Katelyn and Jayden are VERY over done where I live. Three of my friends that had baby girls last year named them Harper...

alliejoe

Quite a few Lily/Lilly's, lots of Emma's, and surprisingly a bunch of Evelyn's lately.

The boys I know seem to have more unique names. 

mbs07

I work in an Elementary of right at 1,000 kids.
Lily and all variations, Katelyn, Alexis, Addison, Avery, Angel (boys), Jackson & Brayden, Jayden, Aiden so on & so forth (girls & boys).

magentawarped

Madison, Jackson, all the -ayden names, Lily, Olivia.

veetveet

Isabella and Sophia/Sophie are used a lot here.

Ashleypixie

Sophia, Olivia, Addison, kaitlyn, Emma, Ella, Isabella, and really anything that ends in a -ellla, -anna, or -aya. There's a ton of Jacksons, Jacks, Aidens, or Hunters. There's probably more I could list and a lot of names are southern as I live in the south.

brooksidebride

Caroline, Lily, and Riley

Jackson and Henry

ArmyWife114

Addison, Madison, Mason, Aiden/Brayden/etc.  Hayden and Avery, all girls.  Sophie/Sophia, Isabella/Bella, Emma and Ella. 

And I know three Jasons, all spelled differently....

Sam Buttons

Charlotte!! Apparently they all live here. I honestly have met dozens and dozens - and what gets me is all the moms of Charlottes around here feel the need to complain about their daughter being Charlotte D. Or Char/Charlie A. Because there are so many.

Also, Jackson/Jaxon. It had its moment around here and I know a handful that are all the same age.

leahmary82

Anything with an Addie nn like Madison, Madeline, Addison. Kaitlyn or "Mc" names for girls. Jacob, Wyatt, and last names as first names for boys.

macchiatto

I know at least five Jaxons, though they're all about 5 new (my boys' age or a little older). In our church nursery, we have had 2+ each of Avery, Logan, Tristan, Elijah, and variations of Lily. One Sunday out of only 5 babies, we had both an Aviyah and an Amiyah, which I thought was pretty crazy. 

There are also a lot of Will/Williams, Landon/Landens, Jacks, Kaley/Kaeli etc. ... that's all I can think of at the moment. 

zaramarie81

Any "Ella/Ellie" variation. Variations of Lucy. Bridget. Variations of Julia. Claire.

For boys, Liam, Logan, Luke, Ben

mikescutie7

Aiden, Jackson, Nixon

Elsa1984

Sophia's, Jackson's, Logan's, Lucas (I actually know three Logan/Lucas sibsets!), lots of Ellie's, the whole -ayden fad (I know WAY too many of those!) etc. It seems that everyone that I know chooses from the top 20 names. Which means that my kid is the weirdo with a name in the 600's.

Vespah

Addison, Caitlin, and Emma are the only repeat names that I have come across so far.

jjh471

I know that Emma is pretty high on the list. But the only Emma I know is my dog. No Emmas around me.

dkbop1818

Sooooo many Olivias here!  Lilly, Natalie and Harper are also very popular

I know 3 baby boys named James

capulet

Girl names with Ken- in them - Kennedy, Kendall, MacKenzie, etc.  (Not necessarily babies, but elementary age girls at DD's school.)

stahlop

I also know about 3 little Lucas/Luke's for the boys.

Now if we want to look at junior high names, where I teach, it's Hannah, Savanna and Rebecca/Rebekah for girls and Jackson and Jacob for boys.
