Most popular baby names of 2012

2012 isn't over yet, so I don't know how/why this list is out already, but here is one:

https://www.babycenter.com/top-baby-names-2012

 

DS name jumped up to #26. Boo. And all the names I like so far for future children seem to be in the top 40. Darn. I have been really crushing on the name Emma lately and it is #2! Sad

    If its the same list i saw on tv yesterday, ava was 5, so depressing. we picked her name like 2.5 years ago when it wasn't popular at all. i really hope she decides to go by grace when she is older.

    And are favorite name for the possible next lo was 2.

    Hate when names I like get popular before I get a chance to use them. I should see where our name for #2 falls..

    Happy to see that Joshua is in the high 20s. Sad to see that our favorite name for a girl, which used to be unusual, is now in the top 10.

    Eli didn't get as high as I thought it would.  I just checked our potential names for this LO and Max is right under Eli and Luke isn't listed. Stella and Kaylee are on there, but Eden isn't. Hmm..

    Well, glad to see Laura isn't on the list. Our boy name for #2 isn't there, either, which surprises me a little. One of our girl names is (Elizabeth/Elisabeth), again, not exactly surprising. I've been crushing on Sabrina nn Brin lately, though. Maybe we'll reconsider when we get to that point? 

    Pass the sheet cake.

    Just wanted to point out, this is the result of a BabyCenter survey and not actual statistics. The SSA list is a more accurate source, but the 2012 list won't be out for a while.

    ETA: I guess I should have said, more accurate source for names in the US. Not necessarily for everyone :-)

    Sad to see that Lucy has jumped 30 spots (although I'll be interested to see how this list compares to the official SS list when it comes out next Spring).

    DS's name is Ethan Jackson. :/ H's middle name is Jackson, and he wanted to keep it. Ethan was the only name we both really liked. However, it is not a popular name in my small county. I know that because everyone knows everyone and what everyone is naming their babies. I know 3 Ethans in total.

    Christopher is only number 71! I am actually surprised it is not more popular. His middle name however isn't on the list at all.

    Crying Aria is #63... it wasn't in the top 100 last year.

    ETA: It's only that high in the "babycenter population". It's not quite that high in the US population.

    Ive loved the name Emma since the moment Rachael on friends just had the baby, and gasped "oh! Emmaaaaa.... see? I dont want itttt?". Its just the most perfect name, and unfortunately became the most popular. 

    Also, Ive had Jacob Ryan picked out since I was a kid... stupid Twilight.

    I've got a Sophia (Sophie) and an Ethan. I guess we like popular names. It's okay, NBD to me.

    We were set on Sophia for DD2 and then H saw a list that had Sophia as the #1 most popular name. I guess he didn't continue reading down to see Olivia a few spots lower! It doesn't matter to me, though. My name is extremely popular for my age group and I was always one of a few but that never bugged me.
