Oh no! I'm due in Sept. and am planning on naming my daughter Amalia, but between Analia and Malia, I'm afraid I may have picked one of the fast risers of 2010!

I have Firefox 3.6 and am having the same problem as Kristin W. After every letter I type, it draws new graphs and then won't let me type the next letter. I have to click in the text box after each letter: "J . . . click . . . A . . . click . . . M . . . click, etc." Sometimes, I can get two letters in if I type them quickly. Other than that, it seems to be loading and running quickly. Thanks for working hard to improve the NameVoyager! I recommend it to people all the time.
You can get some great OT girls' names if you aren't too concerned about them belonging to "good" people in the Bible. If you're a religious Christian or Jew, you might want to stay away from these, but if you aren't, they could work! Asherah Delilah Eve Jezebel Mara Salome
We have shared our baby's in utero nickname, which is Snapdragon. When anyone asks about names, I just say that its name will be Snapdragon unless we find something we like better! That usually ends the conversation.
I think that our sense that variation in spelling creates new names is an interesting result of the relatively recent trend toward orthographic stability in English. Before 1800, spelling was not stable — your name might be written "Ann Coolidge" in one record, "Anne Colege" in another, and "Anna Couledge" in a third and they would all be considered "correct." I do a lot of work with colonial American records and always have to decide whether to count names like Esther/Hester, Anne/Anna, Isabel/Isabella as the same name, since records often use them interchangeably. Anyone who has genealogical work has probably run into similar problems.
