The top baby names of 2010 are out!

MsPurple24 · May 2011

Finally! I wanted them to come out before Haley was born (we were trying to avoid names that were too common). Click here for the SS website.

Haley is 154th, but Hailey is 19th! Interesting. I thought we had gone with the more common spelling.

Where are your kids' names this year? Preggos, will this change your preferences at all?

Eleanor is 165. So interesting to watch the trend on Eleanor... Its getting more and more popular. This is from Wolfram Alpha, shows the age distribution of the name Eleanor.

Ellie is 104

My kid hasn't made the list since before 2007 the year of his birth. But we are finding more and more of them.

Donovan has hovered around #200 spot for the past 10 years.

I tried really hard to avoid anything on the top 100 list. If I could have my way I would have avoided anything on the top 1000, but I know that's asking a lot.

Aaron is 55, Ryan is 23. That's what I get for letting my DH have major say in the kid's names

All the names on my list were much less common. Poor Ryan was one of 4 Ryans in his class of 12 kids when he started preschool.

Emmy's real name isn't in the top 1000, but I knew that going in. Ethan however is very popular.

Orion is 466 in 2010 , Alexis is 16 in 2010

Even though our boy name sounds trendy it is not on the list. DH, his dad, and his grandpa are the only Greydons that I have met, lol. Our top boy middle name choice seems to be getting more popular at 138 which kind of shocks me.

Our top girl name picks are 448 and 337 which is fine with me.

Interesting, Grant was 144 last year and has now gone down to 155. I thought the opposite would happen since I've been seeing the name pop up all over (tv characters named Grant, people on the baby name board, etc.).

I honestly don't care too much about where the name is on the list. We just wanted a name that was "his" name. Our top girl name is in the #4 spot.

Yes, I find this very interesting, because when I was naming dd, we had so many negative comments about how Eleanor was such a doudy old grandma name, and we were just being cruel giving her that name. I never imagined how popular it is becoming. We know a lot of Eleanors, Ella's, and Ellie's.

AvaLikeLava · May 2011

We're still good

G's name is 231. Went up 2 spots from last year.
S2 didn't even make the top 1000. Woot!

StefandTodd · May 2011

Our current front running boys name is 450+

And our current front running girls names are 320+ and 180+

I don't think the rankings would've influenced our decision making on names very much, even if they were more popular though.

gsbabygirl · May 2011

I have an Isabella. But so far (knock on wood) she's been the only Isabella in her class the last 3 years.

And she was not named after Twilight.

Mason is number 12 this year - I knew it was increasing in popularity, but that's quite a jump: #37 the year he was born 35 in 2008, 34 in 2009 then to 12 in 2010.

Miles is 137 this year and 162 last year (his birth year).

KellyMRocks · May 2011

WinterRose (and just Winter) do not crack the 1000

Greyson was at #500 the year he was born, and is now at #249. It's gone up a lot! The other spelling (GrAyson) is at #122.

There were a couple of girls names that I liked that were in the top 200, which nixed it for me. The other name I liked MOST for Winter (Tallulah) was not in the top 1000

Close versions of EJ's are

273 Emmett

871 Emmitt

But his spelling is not in the top 1000 since we picked family spelling (also the Irish spelling...which is a big duh since the family is Irish) of Emmet.

MeggyO · May 2011

My top two names are Donovan and Lorelai. Donovan is in the 200's and Lorelai in the 900's. So, it definitely does not change things for us!

mrskelly731 · May 2011

Yep, we are #2 - lots of other students in her class will have the same name. Hmm

f&s2006 · May 2011

Preston is at #131 in his birth year of 2010. The irony is that we wanted to name him Alexander, which is in the top 10, but didn't because of that, not wanting him to be one of 4 alex's in his class, and I have yet to meet another Alexander (his age, anyway, we have some friends w/the same name) but there is another Preston in his gymboree class!!

Mommy Jess · May 2011

Ellie is 104 this year as opposed to 360 ten years ago!

True love since 5/7/99 · May 2011

My DD name Is Anastazia & doens't even make the top 1000 in the last 11 years, but if we spelled it Anastasia it was 290 in 2003 when she was born & 365 for 2010!

ZoeMay06 · May 2011

Kyveli has never been in the top 1000 (or even 10,000 I'd be willing to bet). It's pretty obscure even in Greece, but you do run across it there once in awhile.
