Excel spreadsheet of baby names

in Baby Names

I just made one to help me organize myself on baby names. Here are the columns I have: full name, nickname (if any), popularity rank #, meaning, pros, cons. The girls' names are in pink and boys' in blue.

This has helped DH and I discuss names and narrow our list. Just thought I'd share :)

    My DH did something simple but along those lines...he started 2 tables on Word, but since we're doing a family name no matter what for the middle name, it was just a chance to look at the names all together.

    Plus we can keep the list for if we decide to have another child.  =)

    Thanks for sharing!  That totally sounds like something I need to do... if not for the actual functionality of it then just because I love to organize things into tables.

    We had our name picked before I even got pregnant but that is definitely something I would do. I'm a spreadsheet whore.

    Hee Hee, me too. So my spreadsheet has each first name and a list of middle names I would consider to go with it.  I also have the ranking but I used the ranking from NameNerds, since they combine different spellings of the same name from the SSA ranking to get an accurate ranking.  I am also thinking of adding the NameMapper info from BabyWizard, to get an idea of how popular names are in my state.  Oh...the organizing to do Stick out tongue
