SS name list is out!!

naflmj · May 2014

SOrry if this is old news buy just made my Friday!

naflmj · May 2014

And BOOO Luke rose again (albeit just a few rankings. I wish the state rankings were out too.

diamondduck13 · May 2014

And the board goes quiet as everyone goes to play on the SSA website...

NerdyLucy · May 2014

I'M SO EXCITED.

diamondduck13 · May 2014

Relieved DD's name dropped by four slots. Not having a trendy name was important to DH and I.

My name dropped another 100 slots. It'll be out of the top 1000 before I know it. Kinda makes me sad.

catahoulatte · May 2014

Gabriel stayed the same. A little popular for my taste but not bad.

Phantom girl name still out of the top 1000! yay!

firespirit717 · May 2014

I knew Noah would stay high. I love my son's name and couldn't even imagine him with our other top contender names that were less popular, but damn I'm pissed it's #1.

Skeemer · May 2014

I don't see DS's first name or DD's future name anywhere on the list. DS's middle name is Mason & just after we named him in 2011 we began seeing Mason everywhere. I know 4 born in 2013/2014.

diamondduck13 · May 2014

I love stats, here's one for the board. Within the top 100 names, these are the ten names that had the most growth in usage (not ranking) and so some may say are the "trendiest" according to the numbers

Olivia
Mia
Charlotte
Sofia
Harper
Aria
Scarlett
Sadie
Penelope
Mila

lifeonthehill · May 2014

Damn! I am so excited to get home from work. It is not going to be a productive day for me.

KTZ17 · May 2014

Did my Mac do something weird to the file? What is it supposed to look like? Eta: hehehe I clicked on 1880 :P

NerdyLucy · May 2014

Not sure about Dorothea, Stephan, Wilhelm, Henrik----- Out of top 1000. With Stephan, I should probably go by Stephen ranking.

I may be back to update. I don't think I've checked everything I want to check.

Dr.Loretta · May 2014

Woot! My name jumped 60 places! Still in the 900s (and it's not Loretta, BTW)

As expected, DD is still way out of the top 1000

FakeFinn · May 2014

Yea! Finally!

Irishcurls · May 2014

Oh mannnn I could have been wasting so much time this morning. Stupid work.

ETA: Gah our #1 hypothetical girl name cracked the top 200. Stoppppp. Connor is 56, that's off the list. Sorry DH.

plunderb · May 2014

Amalia's back in the top 1,000 after flirting with the line off and on over the last few years.

IrishTraveler · May 2014

Love that our girl name still isn't in the top 200, but it rose. DS's name also rose another 20 spots or so.

NerdyLucy · May 2014

DaisyBlinks said:

ETA: ALso...the two names that rose the most in popularity? Jayceon and Deleyza? What. the. fuck.

I KNOW. Jayceon went form 1051 to 206---that's a growth of 845.

And Daleyza? A growth of 3130? Geez.

Those came out of nowhere.

capulet · May 2014

Lincoln's still on the rise - #95, first time in the top 100, up from 177 the year DS was born. I find the state stats on his name really interesting, so I'm looking forward to those.

Wow that jump surprises me! Great name btw!

Jags8 · May 2014

Squeeeeeeee!!! I might disappear for a day haha!

ETA Damn it, ranking by state won't be available until the 15th!

I know how to get the top 10, I was looking for the top 100. I don't see anywhere on that page to view them.

Look below the top 10. There is a tab that says "Popular names by birth year"

Helenahhandbasket · May 2014

I CAN'T believe that Madison is still in the top 10.

Also-- DD's name stayed exactly the same as it was last year --160. Whew!

@naflmj - I was thinking about you this morning (In a non creepy way- promise) and I was wondering if you have considered Bram/ Braham. Not sure if it's exacly your style, but it popped into my head after the Brett/ Bryce debacle.

Helenahhandbasket · May 2014

DaisyBlinks said:

I'm kind of surprised at the boy's top ten. I feel like number 1 has ALWAYS been an uber-classic name. Noah and Liam are a trendier #1 and #2 than there's ever been.

DS's name rose a lot! I'm glad, I love it and I hope it becomes more familiar so I don't have to explain it so much to people! ("no there's a silent H. R-H-E-T-T. It's a charecter in GWTW!").

ETA: ALso...the two names that rose the most in popularity? Jayceon and Deleyza? What. the. fuck.

I am totally suprised by the boy's top ten! And I am completely bored by the girls top ten. Again.

catahoulatte · May 2014

I am dismayed that Paisley cracked the top 100 this year.

Jags8 · May 2014

JFC...Avery is the #12 name for girls!!!! [-(

I would consider it if I didn't have a Graeme @helenahhandbasket

lupineaura · May 2014

Glad Zoey/Zoe didn't rise. Even dropped a few spots. I have a Zoe, and in my area, it doesn't seem as popular as I feared. Only met one other baby Zoe so far. I like that it's holding steady.

evaazalea · May 2014

My guess about Azalea was right! Went from 900 to 631! I will actually love meeting little Azaleas

plunderb · May 2014

Also, are Jayceon and Daleyza names from pop culture that I just haven't heard? Their jumps in popularity are shocking!

Jayceon is a reality TV star on VH1. Daleyza is the daughter of Larry Hernandez, a singer who has a reality TV show on Telemundo.

Yes, I saw this too. It doesn't even crack to top 1,000 for boys. Sadz. Same with Quinn for boys.

I saw that it's #196

LadyXaverian · May 2014

DD's name, Elinor, isn't in the top 1000 but Eleanor is 106 and her nickname, Nora, is 83.

Future possible boy name, Duncan, is 821. Possible future girl names are Matilda (645) and Amalia (932).

@plunderb What kind of reaction do you get to Amalia? Does she go by a nick name or no?

@SarahL77

Overwhelmingly positive. We do live in a neighborhood that is heavily Italian/Portuguese/Brazilian, though, so it is not an unfamiliar name here. We have gotten a few "that's so ethnic!" comments from people elsewhere, but I just roll my eyes at that. She also goes by Molly, which seems to be a great comfort to DH's family.

Joseph and Mary Jane are our current top names and I'm not concerned with those at all. I was hoping Lydia would make a little bigger jump but its getting there. It's one of my favorite names, but H thinks it sounds "too old lady". I'm hoping with increasing popularity of the name he'd hear of it on a little girl and change his perception of the name a bit.

Mary Jane is my oldest daughter's name (3.5 years old)... glad to hear another family considering it! We have received great feedback... but then again it would be weird if someone told us they hated it!

strawberrytree · May 2014

Dammit! Just got both boys napping at the same time and was about to lie down myself, until I saw the list was out! Off to hunt down the beyond the top 1000 list and see how my boys' names fared.

That's exactly what we are considering- Amalia/Molly. That or Matilda/Tilly. Amalia is so beautiful all on its own.

Manderlin923 · May 2014

I'm actually surprised neither of mine are in the top 1,000. DD's name seems to come up so frequently here. I know that's not reflective of the whole US though.

I think the most popular name on our list is Ayla.

novilise · May 2014

Yes, the Change in Popularity link was the most interesting! Wow!

AlphabetFish · May 2014

Yay! Three out of my five favorite names have continued to fall or stay off the charts! It's a good day!

So glad Timothy fell again... It's the only boy name I really like! If it got popular I'd be so conflicted.
