I'm on the Top 10 list!

So is my middle name!

I'm was #2 in 1978

Perennial top 50, never higher than 35 - so not weird, but not trendy. There are going to be a lot of geezer Jasons and Jennifers in 50 years.

Top 20 for the past 30 years baby! Only broke the top 10 in 2004, which is a little surprising.

1984: #3



Oh Yeah! In your face, Brandon!

Man, my name was the 355th most popular when I was born and now it's down to 950 something. And it's a cool name.

Funny, I have a nephew who is seven and his name is in the top ten. When my sister and her husband named him, they chose it because it was so unique. Looks like a lot of people thought that.

No one plans to go to tceh, it just happens.

In 1945, there were 823 people born and given my name; then in 1954, there were 289 others...; then it dropped to 60 in 1974 and there has been an increase through 2004 of 344. And I have only met one other person with my name.

Im not even in the top 1000 for any decade

I'm glad I don't have a common name.

The wife's name never cracked the top 1000. She's only met one other person with her name (same class in med school--go figure.)

My name was highly ranked in the year that I was born but that's no surprise.

I had a good run in the late 90's

mine was #15 the year i was born, now it's #105. funny thing, i looked up the name that my husband and i like for a girl (when we have kids in several years, i'm not pregnant now), and it did not make the top 1000 at all in the last 100 years. guess it's fairly unique...

My name hasn't been in the top 100 since 1970.

That means I am much more unique than the rest of you chodes. I'm special, and not short-bus special.

My Mom gave me a family name. Just so happens that that family name's been in the top 10 most common names for the past 22 years.

Hey hippie...you're an Ashley?

#10

I'm the one you beat out hippieliberal. I hate my name, way too damn common. Even my last name is too common. Heck, in my major there is another girl with my exact name and we are the same year. We've had classes together and it always screws things up and when I go to my advisor they always pull the wrong file. I've gotten to where I just make sure before we even sit down that they have the right file cuz they'd start spouting off classes I need to take and I've already taken them.

I HATE MY NAME!!!

Can anyone guess this female name?

Shore am!

kickass name

My parents were going to name me Christina, but then my mom's best friend had her baby and named her Christina. So my mom wanted to choose a name that not a lot of people had.






Man, did that backfire.

Jennifer.

My name is Michael.
I have the most popular first name in the history of the United States.

My wife didn't understand when I wanted to name my son a name that wasn't in the top 10.

Most people just don't get it when it comes to names. Everyone wants to name their kid an unusual name, that's why the names change. How many people in their 30's do you know named Jacob? It's because parents in their late 20's early 30's name a baby based on what was not common in their generation.

My sons name, born in 2004, was 84th, and 130th depending on the spelling. And yes, Colin with 2 l's was less common than LL's. Damn Collin county! You average the 2, and it's 54th.

Haha- Just like Ashlee Simpson!

I would have thought Katy would have been higher up... everywhere I go there are a million Katy's.
