Addison

vanceandlori · March 2009

Tell me-- just how popular is it? I'm checking the SS website and it ranked 11 for 2007-- but for the state I live in, it was ranked 97 (in 2007). DH and I don't want to name her something EXTREMELY popular, and I'm not sure if there was a huge increase of Addison's in 2008 and 2009-- -so tell me, how popular is it where you live?

We're in PA, and its not too popular here. I know one 1y.o. girl and a 7 y.o. boy Addison.

I'm in NY - never met anyone named Addison - love the name, though

pr_alexander · March 2009

It is not that popular yet here in Cincinnati. I really like it though.

I think it is really cute, and here in Michigan, I am yet to come across one. I would worry, though, that with Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice still being so popular that it may still be gaining steam.

b15chik · March 2009

it's pretty popular out here. love the name though, it's adorable

I work with kids and only know one - a 13 y.o. boy. I love the name!

It's not popular IRL where I live (mid-Atlantic coastal area, within 2 hours of several major cities). I think it's a great name, though I'm sure it may start increasing in popularity because of the Grey's/Private Practice influence.

kegallagh · March 2009

I've never heard of or met anyone IRL with that name.

I've seen a couple in the paper. But keep in mind how popular Madison is, and Addison is so similar, there's bound to be a couple in your daughter's class.

LMS05 · March 2009

I haven't met anyone named Addison, but a lot of people love Grey's Anatomy so I'm sure it will become more popular.?

thatgirlang · March 2009

I only know one Addison and he's a boy. I am sure I will meet more girls with the name in the upcoming years.

mfransdell · March 2009

I hear it a lot here on the Bump but I dont know anyone witht hat name IRL. I live in SoCal if that helps.

"I'm not sure if there was a huge increase of Addison's in 2008 and 2009-- -so tell me, how popular is it where you live?"

I can almost guarantee you there was. The new list should be coming out on Mother's day.

Tomasina · March 2009

I am a nanny in Texas and know tons of kids but this is one of the "popular" names I have not come across in this city. I know of one baby girl in Houston named this.

bleu928 · March 2009

I know of at least 3 girls under the age of 3 named Addison. I have loved that name for so long!! I struggled with whether or not we should use it because it seems too popular, but there's no other girl name that I love as much as that one.

Thankfully, we found out that the baby is a boy Now I don't have to worry about it!

Nakale · March 2009

I only know one. A three y.o. girl. I love the name.

miniko · March 2009

It may become really popular do to the TV show Private Practice.

MandC17 · March 2009

I know one Addison, a 2 yr old boy.

I like the name for a girl, but it is becoming very popular.

jolis_petits_bijoux · March 2009

I know of two baby Addisons born in 2008... out of only about 6 friends/family members/etc we know who had a baby girl. Needless to say, it is very popular around here (West Michigan).

ErinInVA · March 2009

I'm in the D.C. Metro area and I used to teach dance. I've only heard it once and the girl is now a young teenager.?

Mars*Bars · March 2009

I know of two being born in the last year. But if you love it, use it!

PunkyBooster · March 2009

It's becoming overdone, IMO. It's the next Emma.

gotchagomo · April 2009

Immensely popular in Texas--There are 3, 2 year olds in my daughter's daycare room with that name. At my junior high, there's 2 in the 7th grade alone. time to retire it.

i'm a doctor and there is a disease called Addison's disease, so it's always rubbed me the wrong way.
