Elizaphine..pronounced [hey-lee-za-vin]

Girls-
Alissa Brookelyn
Baylor Grace
Anna Morgan
Carley Ann
Mari Caylan
Boys-
Grant Matthew
Blakely Grahm
Jackson Claye
heck yes! i should be #1(:
WHAT????? AVA is MY name, now people are abusing it! It is not even supposed to be in the top 1000! I am going to cry. This is wrong. PLEASE DONT NAME YOUR KID AVA
My name isn’t anywhere up there at all… but I like that about it. It’s unique. I look at these lists because I want to make sure that my kids’ names are as unique as mine. Sure there are other’s in the world with my name.. I’ve met a couple.. but the point is, it’s rare to find them. Those names on the list are great but, personally, I would like to have the beauty, complication and unique-ness :-) of the names of my children to directly reflect that of themselves
My name isn’t up there either,,, who cares. All these names are so REPEATED!!!
I can’t believe my name in in the top 10! I didn’t know Olivia was that popular…
Just saying, some names are real weird and a I would have thought Selena and Georgia are real popular. Especially Georgia.
omg.
Micah should soo be on there.
I lovveeeeeeeeeee that name!
ooo
and khychelle. Amd Micahelle.
heheee
i know like 20 christinas. its a pretty popular name… weird that its not on there…
Wow everyone…You all need to chill out…
It’s just names…Calm down already, jeeze. It’s not that hard…
Anyways, the names Savannah and Noah are adorable! :)
Well…the names Sarah and Joshua are also adorable…It’s such a hard pick…:/
I shouldn’t be worrying about this already, but I’m really looking forward to have kids! :D
My boyfriend doesn’t want any kids though…:( I’m going to try to convince him somehow…
I hate how many Heathers there are in the world…used to be in the top names in the 70s and 80s. But my middle name (Christine) ROCKS. I like the spelling Crystene.
Names I like that I want to pick from for my future kids:
Girls-
Anastasia Sylvia Grace (Stacia)
Alexandra Honor Faith (Honor)
Adelaide Sonnet Crystene (Laidey)
Ariel Cadence Merit (Ariel)
Aledra Lorelai Marie (Aledra)
Boys-
Micah Tyler (Micah)
Christopher Aidan Lee (Cal –acronyms are awesome!)
Chandler Titus (Chandler)
Timothy Logan (Logan)
Declan Joseph (Declan)
Tell me what you think!
(Annnnnd #41, Aurora Rain rocks…maybe try Rhaine or Rayne though?)
I don’t get it really. It doesn’t matter how you spell it or say it. It is up to the parents choice on there kids name. If they like they like it. Like one of my cousins name is Porter. I like it it stands out of the crowd and it is unique. SO STOP BEING MEAN IT IS THE PARENTS CHOICE AND NOT YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to say to everyone that reads this that just cause these names are popular to some people doesnt mean it has to appeal to you. I have son that is 3 1/2 and his name wasnt mentioned once on there. Well im totally happy with that for the fact that he’ll not be sharing the same name as everyone else….
Jack been most popular for 10 years,why does it say Jacob?
Madison is the best name ever!!!!
To Juliana: Your names are absoloutely beautiful, as is yours. Brielle Grace and Liliana Raine are my favorites. Also, congratulations on the twin girls!
my name isnt up there… :(
Selina is my name!
um i think its kind of silly that u guys are obsessing over this i think it is very interestin if your namee isnt on the list becasue it makes u uniqe
I am very surprised to see my name up there.. no one has my name!
errr your name is princess yours definatly wont ever be on the list its not even a name get a life and a better name
brooklynn quinn
jocelynn hope
Meghan lynn
autumn lee
jace or jase anthony
blake nicholos
knox alexander
colby ryan
My absolute favorite all time name is margaues
(prounounced MAR-GO) i love it i think it will be popular soon!!!
My husband and I are having our first child soon. We really like Jackson because it’s my husband’s family name but what in the world do you put with it. Jackon ____ or ____Jackson??
Let your kid be unique. Don’t pick a name on the top 100 list. Take it from someone who knows…my name is number 1, and has been number 1 for years. Don’t do that to your kid. It gets annoying knowing hundreds of people with your name.
My name is on the top 20!
i’ve alwayz liked the name Shanice Audree for a girl and Maxwell Robert for a boy!!!
hey Carly this is for you i dont really like the name joel either i like the name aiden by the way my name not really aiden and for all u parents crying on the enternet about how yo childes name not on there toffen up u babies it gets anoing

i think that the name Niamh is beautiful and the way it is spelt is different, it’s very popular nowdays and i am very pleased to have called my baby daughter such a beautiful name.
i am also pregnant with twins at the moment and i am going to call them Bradley and Cassidy Eva
My husband and I were thinking of what we could name our baby boy but I cannot think of what sounds good with Micah as the middle name? Trying to fit a cute first name it there that works? Any ideas?
i love my name its not even in the top 100. it makes me feel more unique.
My name is Emmalie. It is pronounced like ‘Emily’ so I’m pretty sure it still count as number 1. That’s sucky, I know a TON of Emilys and Emmas
To Sarah, # 133. I like Tristan Micah.
Wheres Alisha , Alicia ?
hi
i think alexis is the top name
My name is ellie but is spelt like elly i am unique (well maybe not) actually my full name is elly rose
woooop!1 whooop!!
i dont care where my name is on this stupid list anyway its a LISY hellloooo to care if your name is on there is soooo sad!!!
My name is definitely not going to be up there. it’s definitely a name people have to take a double look. it’s unique suckaaaaz.
I really wonder how they come up with all these names…
How do they come up with all this information about names? Does everyone that names their kid like, contact somebody and they take note?
Every state has a Department of Vital Records where all births are reported. That’s how they get the names. I work for one and see these same names day after day. The parents that come up with strange spellings for the kid are only causing problems for them down the road. They’ll have to spell out their name for everyone the rest of their lives, how annoying.
oh gosh. I love the name tiffany and jacob amd Leo and Alicia
why is my name not up there im populer
I had my baby yesterday <3 and her name is "Megan Sofia"
Yooo I love all the names
