According to babynames.com, these are the top 100 most popular names for boys and girls, 100 for each gender.
http://babynames.com/Names/Popular/ %26lt;Click the link.
What ones are you surprised to see? For me, it's:
Boys:
15. Gavin-I never thought Gavin was that popular for baby boys. Popular, yes, #15 popular? No.
28. Jayden-I thought it would be more high up. Since Aidan is #1, Kaden is #4 and Brayden is #6.
38. Dominic-I'm a little dissapointed to see Dominic get so popular, since I really like that name, but I like a little less common names.
46. Grayson-I only heard this name once on Y!A.
47. Asher-I only heard this name once on Y!A and I have yet to meet an Asher in real life.
53. Sebastian-Just last year when I was on an older Y!A account, most of the response to this lovely, masculine name was "Ew, creepy and horrible". Could Seb be a new "in" name?
55. Micah-With the trend of boyish names on girls, I thought we would start considering this name "cute" and "girly", too. Maybe not. (yay!)
60. Damian-This name doesn't seem to go with the other trendy top 100 names, but maybe I'm wrong.
63. Xavier-I'm surprised, I love this name, but I would think many others would find it too old-fashioned.
68. Fynn-I'm surprised, because it's not a trendy name and I don't hear it used for babies too much.
82. Bryce-seems outdated to me. I can only see this on a 40-something dad, but I could be wrong.
Girls:
9. Chloe-I thought Chloe was uncommon, but I must be wrong.
21. Emily-Emily was in the top 10 or so last year.
22. Madison-Is Madison finally falling from it's glory?
27. Peyton-WOW, I never thought Peyton would get so popular.
31. Sadie-Again, never expected Sadie to be such a popular name.
35. Scarlet-Seemed like an uncommon name, But I must be wrong.
39. Lucy-I thought most would find Lucy outdated.
41. Aaliyah-I always found this an exotic, rare name. But it must be quite common now.
60. Aurora-Lovely, lovely name. But it must be getting very popular.
77. Autumn-Gorgeous name. I am shocked it is this popular though.
94. Juliet-Again, lovely name. Just would not expect it in the top 100.
What do you think?
What do you think of the most popular baby names according to babynames.com?
the most popular boys names totally disappoints me, i am SO sick of the 'aden' names! People say that they're trying to be unique, but when everyone tries to be unique, its not unique anymore.
The girls names aren't bad though. I do like megan, sophia and abigail, but there's a few in there that i get pretty sick of.
Reply:i agree with the girl above me. i like uncommon names.
Reply:I dont look into it that far. I like uncommon names not popular ones.
Reply:I didn't think my kids' names were so popular , when i had picked them they were not even on the top 100 list !
Can't believe Sebastian is #53 , kind of sad that its becoming more popular... same with Lucy #34 I didn't think a lot of people would name a daughter this now because its so old fashioned and thats why i chose it !
My husband Micah was so surprised that his name with number 55 !
My other son Oliver is #20 I didn't know it was that high up already ! I'm glad though that Jude isn't in the top 100 yet though !
Henry is 57 and Levi is 87 those are so high I was considering them as names but maybe not anymore .... same with Amelia and Charlotte.
This is weird i didn't think there names were so popular i have not met another person with my kids' names.With such high popularity names i would expect to meet one every time i steped outside.
It's funny that they are so popular when i ask people what they think of my kids' names they always tell my they are horrible choices... eh, thats weird.

But she is very sweet, adorable, and precious, and a wonderful adition to our family. So thankyou to all who answered my question.

I like Addison Marie the best.

I think you know which ones ;D
Reply:You shouldn't be having kids at your age, it happened to my sister and her life is a living hell!!! it is hard raising them because one you should still be in high school therefore you should have no time to take care of them or work, and even if you did have a job you dont have a college education so you wont get paid well. i sure hope you are married to somene who has a job that pays well....
as for your names, they suck, you may like them today, but tomorrow you are going to look back and ask what you were thinkin, and they are going to stuck with that name for the rest of their life, and do you think they are going to want the name pinkpie or alacazam when they are fifty?
i would stick with names like that are simple and at least somewhat common
for a girl i would suggest
cara, alexis,katie, emma, arianna, isabell, sadie, sarah, hope, faith or marie
for a boy i would suggest dylan, spencer, coltyn, jason, luke or eli
please please please please do not name them puygurt, stuar, freeman, gibby, slink, wonishafy, frewillis, glam, junipert, alakazam, linkerton, pinkpie, or thank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Reply:These are not a little different - come on, these are not names for a person (but I suspect you know that). Some of them sound like names that half-alien characters on a science-fiction show could have. Others sound like you have taken a movie name or something and made a strange name from that. How would you feel if you had been called Mouldie or Rattie or something like that on your birth ceritificate instead of Maddie? I doubt that this is serious (well, hope so anyway).
Reply:wow. im all for different and unique names. all the names i like are different. but those are downright ugly. i just want my two points. which i am getting.
good luck on the twins. but please name them something other than what you have up there.
Reply:Congratulations! I personally think that these are more nicknames than names, but it's your choice of course. If you do end up using some of these names, the children will be very unique, which can be good. Good luck! (:
Reply:I hope you are kidding you have made one mistake do not make it a bigger one go with names your kids will enjoy having you have a hard road ahead make it easier by naming the kids some thing simple
Reply:ew.when you said 15 i thought you were kidding..but now i know you werent.you still think like a kid.i mean freewillis?what the ****?
im sorry
Reply:.....
15 and having twins? You're only 2 years older than me e.e
I think you should go with regular names too, like Abby and Anna
o.o
Reply:hmm. not entirely sure if you're joking but I guess I'm glad your keeping them if you are telling the truth.
all the names are awful though.
Reply:stop wasting peoples time and get a life!!!
i just read one of your other answers
well what you want is a parent who kicks their , well your, baby. only those will be the good parents. if they don't kick them then what type of parent are they. i mean really, its a necessity,absolutely mandatory!!

Insulting my like of babynames: Should I be offended?
First off, I'm not pregnant, but I do love thinking up names for potential babies. I was talking to a friend online and stated that I really like the name Aoki Rivera (A-Oh-Key Riv-air-a). The friend said that because I am of german and english decent, it would be abusive to name a child that and told me it was just plain wrong, unless the father was asian (which my husband is not). I got very offended, taking it as if he was judging my abilties to be a mother and the choices that I'd make. Granted, I don't think I would name a child that because I have other names that I like a lot more, but it still hurt me. Personally, I think people should have free reign over what they choose to name their children because we've come that far as a society. Would anyone else have been offended?
Insulting my like of babynames: Should I be offended?
If you are going to be offended you shouldn't ask the question. You wanted to know if she liked the names. I agree you have the right to name your child whatever you want just don't ask others help or opinions on it.
Reply:wow. this best answer sucks. Report Abuse
Reply:Yes i'd be offended. The Name you choose is your choice it's special b/c it comes from you.
Don't ever let anyone tell you they don't like a name you like. just ignore them. It's your opinion
Reply:Whether or not you "should" be offended is not really the question, but obviously that would bug the crap out of someone. What your friend said to you was unnecessary. The could have expressed their opinion on your name choice without having been so rude.
However, I think you may have over analyzed a bit. It was a simple, though rude, remark on the subject of names.
Maybe you did take it that far, though, possibly because he may have made other remarks in the past about your potential mothering abilities.
As for now, it would be petty and seemingly silly of you to bring it back up to your friend, however, next time he is rude again, you shuld address it with him, stating that you both have different ideas of names, and you would appreciate more respect from a friend.
Either that, or no longer speak about that subject again, if he brings it up again, and realizes the cold shoulder to that topic, he may realize his mistake.
Anyhow, I would have also been a little brought aback had a friend made that comment to me, and can see where you are coming from.
good luck =]
Reply:I would be offended to.
It is downright ignorant to say it's "abusive" to choose a name you like for your child that doesn't agree with your origin.
Your friend leads a very sheltered life if she believes that is a form of abuse.
Reply:I would have been offended. It wasn't called for. You didn't ask whether you should stick to names from your background. You asked for an opinion about a specific name. To me, all she should have said is whether she liked or not. I think you should have the freedom to name a child anything you desire! :)
Reply:I think your friend was being honest with you. Perhaps "abusive" was going a bit far. But many people *do* react negatively to unusual names. If you're feeling defensive when it's just a possible name for a theoretical child, imagine how you'll feel when you're introducing your actual baby and other people are raising their eyebrows.
And, honestly, while I like unusual names, I find Aoki Rivera pretty far out there. If it reflected your family heritage, it might be understandable. But to choose it out of the blue? It's an extreme baby name.
If you're going to go for a wildly exotic name, this would be a very, very good time to grow a thick skin AND hope that your child is born with one, too.
Reply:Of course every parent has a right to name their child what ever they choose (unless it's a cuss word =P) and I completely agree that that person should not have been so up-forward with their opinion. People have all different opinions on what names sound good or not, so I wouldn't take most people's opinions to heart. I do the same thing (thinking up names, lol) and when I put up my question on people's opinions of names that I like, I knew I would have to prepare myself for everyone having different opinions and not getting offended if they did. So yeah, you're righ,t but don't get offended =)
Reply:My really huge pet peve is people who name their children with "unique" names. Names like America, Essential, Essence, Princess/ Prince, Chlamydia (yes, they knew what it was but liked the way it sounded) make me wonder if the parents ever gave a second thought about how those kids will fare growing up! They will be humiliated by other kids! I just can't imagine how the heck Chlamydia is going to get a date to the prom....married etc...Poor girl.
I dunno. I am Hawaiian and had "ethnic" middle and last names that were culturally normal and was still teased to the point of adopting my step-dads last name to escape from it.
Parents need to remember that the cute name they choose now will follow these kids as they grow up. Say to yourself would I take %26lt;insert name here%26gt; seriously if they were my boss? If not, then re think your choice! And for the love of god, do not name your kids because of some dumb celebrity or fictional character was very popular when the kid was born!
Sorry...Just had to drop my 2 cents here.
Playing with baby names is one thing....actually naming them that is another entirely!
Reply:I believe that the parent's have the right to name their child what they like. Lots of Americans are being called Irish names so why can't a English/Germans child be called a name of Asian decent! Personally I don't like the name but if you like it then that's all that matters and if and when you have a child you name it that then Congrats!
Reply:no, don't be offended! Of course you like different names than everyone else. Personally, I don't really like that name, but I don't think just because you named your kid something different means your a bad parent.
Reply:Aoki Rivera is AWESOME. dont take your friend seriously. I love the name, the only thing that ruins it for me is that there is a Sushi restaurant nearby named Aoki, lol. but i still love the name!
Reply:Aoki sounds like a nice name. You or your spouse don't have to be asian. Don't get offended so easily by what others say. :)
Reply:i would
Reply:I'd just be pissed! Seriously, no offense to your friend, but that was a very close-minded thing to say. Who is he to say that people should stick with names within their own ethnicity? Personally, I think Aoki is an adorable name, as is Rivera! What do you think he'd say if you decided to use the name Adolph? Because you're German, would that be an alright thing to do?
Though yeah, I'd probably be a bit offended as well. He kind of came off as sounding as if you're stupid or something for choosing a name outside of you and your husband's ethnicity. I'd predict that your kids would be so much more interesting than his anyway lol - that's what better parenting does!
True, society has come a long, long way, but apparently not so long for some people out there.
Reply:Why should you care? there are much bigger things to be offended about.
Besides, how does criticizing a name turn into him judging your ability to be a mother? You're overly sensitive.
Of course people have free reign over what to name their children. And everyone else has free reign to mock them for giving their children pretentious and silly names. "Free country" works both ways.
If you like the name, use it, but get used to people finding it strange or odd and giving their opinions. I'm sick of hearing from everyone that the names I like are "too common" because I refuse to make up a name for my son. But I deal with it and I don't get offended.
And of course you can give a child a Japanese name whether they're Japanese or not... just remember that the kid has to live with/spell/pronounce the name for the rest of their life.
Our son will have an English name and Korean name because I'm having him in South Korea where we live... but there is a REASON for giving him a Korean name... we're doing it so that he will be able to more easily fit in where we live.
Reply:First and foremost, I do not think that your friend was necessarily judging your ability to be a mother, because from my point of view, the free will to choose a name for your offspring does not in any way affect your ability to be a good parent, otherwise there would be plenty of celebrities out there who wouldn't make crash hot parents.
Secondly, I think you need to inform your friend that you were offended by his actions and simply inform him that name choice rarely has a great deal to do with heritage - I love many name of Irish decent, but I myself am not of Irish decent in any way.
Also, perhaps try not to be so sensitive to criticism - I have previously received criticism on the names I love, but if anything, it makes me love them more, and just because one person does not like the name does not mean you should take offence.
Lastly, I'm all for free reign, and personally see nothing wrong with the aforementioned name. I do, however, see something wrong with the fact that your friend was so narrow minded as to believe a child of Asian decent should have exclusive rights to that name. Surely we, as a society, have come far enough to overlook the origins of names and therefore be able to use the across the board - yes, I will not deny that some names simply sound "better" for a child of a given decent, but then again, I wouldn't have my name had my parents been fussy about origins, and truth be told, the vast majority of us actually wouldn't. After all, the world of baby names is constantly expanding and changing, and hence in contemporary society, there are origins that would not have existed in our parent's or grandparent's era.
Continue thinking up names - it's only natural to do so, and try to ignore criticism. It's always nice to see a unique name among names that are otherwise becoming common and mainstream.
Reply:I think your friend was in wrong in telling you you had to stick to names that are of german and english decent, but I also think you over-reacted in getting very offended as you did. She didnt like the name you picked out, big deal.
Reply:i am offended whenever someone pushes their oppinions off on me...especially when it comes to baby names.
baby names are such a sacred thing for parents...i especially hate it when people call certain names 'ghetto' or 'low class'...atleast those parents went to the trouble of trying to give their child a name that 1. means something, 2. possibly honors other members of the family, like a grandmother or parent, 3. is unique.
to ancient people the naming of a baby was so important that in some cultures the name was first whispered to the baby so that it 'stuck' or 'held' and babies were named twice: at birth to protect them from spirits and at womanhood/manhood to symbolize their entry into adulthood.
i think every parent has the right to name their child whatever they want to name them....hasn't celebrities taught you'all anything (apple, rumor, denim, deisel, and coco)...honestly.
you go ahead and name your kids whatever you want...i think the name is fly and they'll probably never meet another kid with that same name. unlike the names mary and emma, when the teacher says 'aoki', only one kid is gonna respond!

Reply:I dont agree with the fact you have to stick with names in your geneology. Im german. does that mean that I have to stick with names that are of a german decent?
If you like a name that is asian and neither you or your s.o are who cares! I would just ignore rude comments about names from now on. name your baby what you want! like you said.. a name shows nothing about your mothering skills.
Reply:I would have! why does it matter what nationality the name is? Im from asian decent and I chose english name and german I believe! I don't think the parents desent should have anything to do with naming your child! that guy is a moron
Reply:Forget your friend and the other losers on here who constantly preach about "ghetto" names, Irish names, Japanese names, or "misspelled" names. There are no such things! Name your child whatever you'd like to name your child. That is your right as a parent. Ignore nay sayers and who cares what other people think? Everyone has different tastes and you have every right to use your taste to choose a name of your liking for your future children

Any thoughts on babynames?
My Fiance' and I are planning ahead, I'm not pregnant but we were just thinking that we may want to atleast begin to think of some babynames. The first boy that we have will be named Charles (honoring both his father and my grandfather) but we can't think of a middle name. I personally do not want to use any form of John or James. Then we have no idea for girls, at all.
The lastname will be Sansone (San-sony) Fiance' wants names that roll off your tongue but says he isn't limiting anything and as long as his son is named Charles he doesn't care about anything else name wise...
Any suggestions anyone?

I think Charles Joseph is nice (as previously suggested) that way if Charles is too formal for your son he could use his middle name (often traditional when a relative has the same name).
A girls name could be Ariana (Ariana Sansone flows off the toungue) or Joanna
