In Response to The fastest falling names of 2008

DEH, that's a really good observation. I love the name Hannah b/c it's classic and Biblical, and I absolutely wouldn't use it b/c I don't want people saying, "Oh, like Hannah Montana?" And I don't care for Miley either... Anyway... This is really fun. I wish I could remember what my name pool predictions were. I think I guessed Hillary as dropping, so I know I'm wrong on that one... I have a question about the flattening of the curve: Is there a place on the SSA website (or Namevoyager) that tells you what the actual number of babies was for each name? Meaning, Emma is #1, but how many Emmas were born this year? I've seen people referring to that info, but couldn't find it on the SSA site. I'm wondering because my own anecdotal experience doesn't really match the top 10 list (I know multiple little Isabelle/Isabella/Ellas, several Olivias, Sophias, and Abigails. But all the Madisons and Avas I know are over 6, and the only Emma is about to turn 10. Maybe everyone I know is like me, as soon as a name hits top 10, it's off limits? And Emily... Was my grandmother's name, and has been one of my favorite for years, but I would never use it b/c it's been at the top of the list (not that it mattered, since I only seem to be able to produce boys...why am I so interested in girl names!) Looking over the lists today, however, it occurred to me that I don't know a single Emily under the age of 20 (Even though I have access to lots of name lists - schools and church - in 2 states.) I wonder why that is...

In Response to Do April showers bring Aprils?

I love this post - I've wondered the same thing. I'm on Facebook & my facebook page lists reminders of friends' birthdays. I hadn't ever noticed that most (maybe all) of my friends named Holly were born in December. I know several December babies with Noelle/Noel in their name as well.
