loadsofkids..it says in my book Michael(my brother's name) was the most popular for 40 years!! I know heaps of adults Mike's but no young Michael's anymore.. our's is number 9 though i liked a lot of the others too...though we are deliberately going for a common name after all the issues I've had with spelling mine:) and our girl name is number 26.. ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |

well once again my kids have popular names lol...
Josh, Rhyley (though spelt Riley in the top list) no 17 and Brooke no 17 too.. gosh gotta get a bit more 'different' if i had another child aye LOL 
I don't care really as I love all my kids names... perhaps if I named them their middle names? Blade, Dakota and Ashton (oh and Joseph) I know they weren't on there - except for Joseph ------------- Ann 
Also Mum to Josh (15) and Brooke (10) |

i haven't looked at the list yet but would bet on jack being either top 1 or 2 it didn't seem to be that popular when we named him at 18wks......just after he was born we heard of 3 other jacks within our friend circle

I pity the poor teachers in 5 years time with a class full of Jack's and Ella's.
Interesting to see celeb names creeping into the UK top 100. Kiera and Scarlett, they've already been a couple of Shiloh's and Suri's born in Palmy. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

| We chose Thomas Jack after family names not because of popularity and I was annoyed that they were so popular. And for girls we would have had Isobel (my Nana's name) |

we always wanted maya zoey for a girl, but then maya became so popular...now zoey is getting up there too....it's my nana's name so that's why i wanted to use it. i've always told my sis i wouldn't use it as a first name because she was closer to my nana ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Hmm Oliver is at number 6 - I'm sure I hadn't heard of many Oliver's before he was born - though I guess I got it from somewhere!
And Lily is at 7 - I knew this was popular, so we're going with a variation - Lilia. Fleury - It would be really interesting to see the top Ohbaby names. ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

Although I don't really like the idea of my girls being one of a few Kates or Charlottes in their school year, I really like the idea that lots of people love their names I hate having to spell my name all the time and they won't have that problem.
If you're not going to be put off by people not liking the names you've come up with, then why be put off by lots of people liking them? ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

not surprised to see Ella at #1- we both really liked the name and knew it was popular and didn't really care. At least we know that lots of other people agree with us Went to Butterfly creek last week and there were 3 girls named Ella running around ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |
