Looks like my name, Isabella, is slowly fading away in popularity. It was getting quite intense to hear parents saying Isabella and thinking people were calling for me
The variation found with boy names vs girls is kind interesting. Wonder what drives the more willingness to deviate from the crowd in boys than girls. I could see a few of those boys names being driven by the use of naming the son after father and maybe rest are just currently trendy?
I think there are a lot of ladies on this board (at least according to our spreadsheet) that have chosen the same name as us. I am surprised it was not on the list.
Bitter infertile checking in, lol. When DH and I picked our boy name it was ranked #95 and I hadn't heard of a single other IRL baby with that name. Now I know three of them and it's ranked #43 nationally. Our girls' names have climbed the charts quite a bit too. Harumph.
