girlmama83

No and I'm glad to see that they aren't! People are really naming their kid sookie....

Edited stupid autocorrect

MommyAmes2

Sookie and Bertie?! Awful, just awful!

aessary03

Eithne? How do you even pronounce this?

 Sookie? This is too close to Snooki for me ....

 Betty? Hehe, total old lady name.

 Millie? No like.

My poor daughter's name is still on there. it's funny because the year she was born, her name want on the top 10. I had never met an Emma before in my life. Always Emily. Then in  2002, the Friends baby was named Emma. That name has been on the top ten lists since! My daughter was born in 2003. Luckily, she hasn't been in class with any other Emma. We occasionally run into other kids on the playground with the same name, but not as often as I thought we would. 

Cosmic+Love

Nope. Whoo hoo!

I've loved the name Charlotte since I was little (HUGE Charlotte's Web fan) and it's in our top contenders for girl names. Darn S&TC and Revenge!

Melanieian

Son of a biitch!!!! Yes and of course it's #1...If we have a girl her name is going to be Isabella Sadie...Sadie is my 94 yr old grandmothers name so I wanted an Italian first name to go with it. Oh well.

 

Sookie is the girl on True Blood.

I know, right?? I think it said Sookie was one of the most searched names, but still who names their baby Sookie?

kittyh8r

Dang it! Charlotte is on there. I have always loved the name Charlotte, and I like the names Emma and Charlotte. Yeah...Emma, I had never met anyone named Emma and no idea it was popular until we had already chosen the name. DH grandmother's name was Emma and I am a Friends fan. Oh well, we'll have trendy named babies. I am happy to see that Elijah isn't on there.

Not me! I mean I love the show but I would never name my child after one of the stars on True Blood. I could never hear the name Sookie without thinking of Sookie Stackhouse....LOL...Aweful

Bertie???? Really??????

 

I'm just going to ignore the Sookie thing. Makes me feel better about humanity that way.

hehe!

ohyeahdollface

At least its Sookie and not Snookie! haha 

I am shocked Penelope is not up there. The Karsashians (sp?) screwed my thoughts on her being the only Penelope in her class. 

coastalchristina

Two of our girl names are on there.  Isabella (we're considering Isabel) and Charlotte.

kateisgreat

Betty was on my list of girl names- it's family name (so is Millie). Old lady names are making a comeback  

And when is Aiden going to drop in popularity? It's been at least 8 years now on the top 10. 

Bunnyfer

Our girl choice, Emma, had dropped to #8.....

Sookie? Really.... 

pkaren

I'm surprised with some of those names! They're terrible! Our names aren't on the list. We're not sharing our name until the baby is born! That way people can't comment on them!

EJPint

Charlotte, Ann and Liam are all on our shortlist of names.  

I don't need my kid to be the only one, but I don't want them to be the modern equivalent of Jennifer or Jason.

Im a preschool teacher and seriously every other kid is named Isabella/bella 

Ktbug613

Ours aren't on there Emalynn for a girl and Connor for a boy ( we think)

RivieraBound

You can thank Twilight for the Isabella popularity. 

Eithne?  How is that pronounced?

Hey, at least Nevaeh isn't on the list

We aren't sharing either...and I agree, some of the names on the list are awful!

We had our girl names narrowed down to Julia or Elise and I think this will help sway me toward Julia. We like classic names and ours are usually top 50 but not top 10. We were likely to use Ellie or Elle as NNs for Elise so after seeing this I think Julia may be a better bet for us to avoid "trendy" waters..

LJR 84

Sookie? I find that hard to believe, haha.

I really like Liam for a boy, but I don't like that it's so popular. 

amarissa85

None of our baby names are on there. And I agree while I don't need my baby to be the only one with that name I don't want her to be like me. I hated my name growing up because there was always at least 1 other person with my name because it is sooo common.

megaboosmom

Yeah, I'm not buying these predictions at all. Mo is not suddenly going to be a popular boy name. And WTH is an Eithne?

darjeeling

This is funny you posted this, my DH sent me this last night.  Jacob, Bella, and Sookie.  Yay. 

I actually have an older friend named Millie.  I love her, but I never thought I'd see the day when someone wanted to name their kid Millicent! 

lilybit01

I'm liking Eleanor a lot lately (for girls).  While it wasn't technically on the list, it was meantioned in the Old Lady names area, as long version of Ella.  This makes me nervous.  The highest up it has ever been on any list is 150, so I thought we were in the clear...

I'm also a teacher (8th grade) and the Isabellas/Bellas are just starting, but for God's sake, I can't even believe the real Emma "trend" hasn't even started yet.  My students this year were born in 1999.  I have been teaching for 7 years.  I kid you not, I have taught at least 50 Emmas.  I can't even imagine what it will be like by the time the 2002 Emma's come along.  I will be able to stop learning their names and just guess that it is probably Emma!

Agreed, I was Sara H. my whole life and HATED it. 

bananatiff

Nope.  And happy to see DD's name still not on there.

The only one close was Ellie, since we are considering Eleanor (Nora).

Isabella has been a hit for at least 6 years, it was high up when I was pregnant with my first.

i don't really have any names in mind, but I like the old names, Millie and Eleanor.

Did this make anyone else scratch their head?

" One of readers' top searches was for one-syllable baby names, meaning new parents may be giving formal names the boot; think Ted instead of Theodore (Greek, gift of God) and Andy in lieu of Andrew (Greek, strong and manly)."

Go with Julia! Go with Julia! EXCELLENT CHOICE!  

 

FTR: Guess what my name is?

CaliforniaDream87

I'm sorry but NONE of those names are my style. Thank goodness none of our names are on that list.

Thanks for sharing!

caramia582

Reading the comments section was quite entertaining!

lilybit01

I'm bummed to see how many on this thread alone are considering Eleanor... I think it is officially off my list!

Yeah they should have done the clap test like the four year olds do. Andy

So glad my possibles aren't on there. I always liked Isabella but after Twilight I knew that and Jacob tear were out. As one of six Nicoles in every class I swore not to do that. Plus I think if you name a kid beautiful like Bella or Shaina you are asking for trouble. I want my kids to have Hebrew names but I think we will go with those as the middle names.

AmcE11

My daughter's nickname is on there (Ellie). Ah well. I love it. Her actual name is still fairly uncommon (Eliana).

FeetFirst

We picked a pretty uncommon name for my son, a random name we found in a baby name book: Jaron.

 We have loved that it was original, yet common sounding too at the same time.

ambp22

Neither of our baby names are on there, phew! I'm shocked at some of the names though, I can't believe Bertie was under the boys section, hah. After reading through the comments on here I figured it was a girls name, I don't like it either way sorry to anyone who likes it.
