blahhh Liam is #1!! My 4 year old DS is named Liam! I picked it to be unique that's crazy!

MichelleWest85 · December 2011

We are pretty set on our boy name: Chase Dylin B.
(The "lin" is significant in family names, thus the spelling)

For a girl we argue. I like Annelise, he likes Brooke. Not only likes, he is STUCK on Brooke.

Luckily we have lots of time to argue...

We have a girl name picked out that we will use 100% sure (after his late maternal grandmother). Happy to see it's pretty far down on that list. (Ruby, middle name June)

We've been bouncing around a boy's name but not 100% on it yet. That name is also far down the list. (Charles or "Charlie", not sure about middle name)

It might just be where I live, but I don't know a lot of Liams! I teach preschool and have only had 1. I see more Maxwells and Joshuas than anything else!

DD is Alexis, way down the list

the names we have chosen are Bentley Drake and Shelby Brooke. Didn't see those, except maybe Brooke, even on the list

KimnBen · December 2011

for a girl I am leaning towards Ella Louise or Alison Louise (I really like Allie for short) the Louise runs in my family, it is all of the girls middle names. Not sure for a boy yet, maybe Connor Joseph.

DH and I are for sure doing Dexter if its a boy, and Zoey if its a girl...(I wanted Zooey, but DH says people will pronounce it "ZOO-EE"...) I am a huge fan of Zooey Deschanel.

amandapoat · December 2011

Every time I think I've picked a decently unique name, but not strange, I find out it's in the top 100 :-(

My DH wants to do really common names like Michael, and Victoria, ect. He grew up being the only person with his name, when I was growing up there were 10 Amanda's in my grade only, so personally I don't like having such a common name.

angluvsammon · December 2011

Both of our DC's names have gotten so popular! When we chose the names they were #80 or higher. Now, Finn is #30 and Harper is #10. Both have had other kids in their class with the same names. Boo. This time, we have a boy's name picked out but are stumped for a girl.

Zoey1309 · December 2011

Our names are picked out:

Bentley James

Paisley Grace

I LOVE Paisley but our last name starts with a P so it sounds weird :-(

gabmow1218 · December 2011

Our boys name is decided, Jordan Bradford. I didn't see it on the list. But our girls are up in the air. I love Chole Ann or Harlow Ann, he likes Olivia Ann.

MrsBlindLove · December 2011

Just remember that this is not the official Social Security list and only applies to people who registered on this site. I am not how representative it is of the population at large.

Erin060108 · December 2011

We haven't settled on middle names yet but for first names we like Ethan for a boy and Hope for a girl.

mswood1977 · December 2011

We are 90% sure our names will be Avery for a girl and Tristan for a boy. We will use my FN for a girl MN and DH's FN for a boy MN.

MandaD624 · December 2011

Our girl name is decided Aleah Elizabeth. We have no idea on boy names lol. We are hopeing for a girl!

I have a friends who's DS's name is Xavier Malachi! Thats too funny. My DS's middle name is Xavier. It's a great name!

Glad to see that our boy pick, Julian, is waaaaay down there. And we won't have to worry about Paula being one of 7 in her class if we have a girl!

Yup, this. This list is usually waaay different than the SSA list. I have a Liam too, and 2010 SSA list had it around 32-ish, but it was 6-ish on this site.

mghnmouse · December 2011

We have our boy name picked, will have a battle once again for our girl name. Sooooo glad DDs name isn't even on the list Big Smile

sparkandfade · December 2011

My boyfriend and I pickedMorrison Wesley C. If its a boy and were still discussing girls. I like Harlow the most, and we agree on Memphis but I'm going to keep pushing Harlow! No middle names yet.

morgs8384 · December 2011

We are pretty set on our boy and girl name. I am always open to new names, but since we named DS not long ago, we still have our favorites.

Whittyone12 · December 2011

We decided on Keith for a boy we aren't sure about a middle name and Jaycee Cain (that middle name runs in the family on my dads side.) for our girl.

ChibiMommy · December 2011

DS1 is Iain, the common Irish spelling(Ian) is #54 on the list.

The names for this one aren't even on the list. We are leaning toward Nigel Arran for a boy. Our girl name has been picked since before ds1, River Miranda.

krismott25 · December 2011

Our top picks right now are Jackson for a boy and Ella for a girl. But we want to see our baby before we name him/her. Boy back up is Mason and I'm working on girl back up Greer (hubby is not to keen but he doesn't like unique names) The more I think of Greer the more I like it though.

Kasi80 · December 2011

Neither of the names we have chosen so far are on the list nor is DDs. Yay!!

chapstix7 · December 2011

We picked out our names in the months of TTC, (we had to do something while we were waiting) Elijah for the boy not decided on the middle and Evangeline Noelle for the girl (which means good news and Christmas).

I want to use Chase Matthew! I love the name Chase and Matthew is my Fiance's name so we want to use it. Of course he says "Chase? Where are we chasing him too"? UGHHH men!!
