I think Brady should be on there cuz brady is becoming really popular
May 12th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Are you not understanding?? this is not a list of “cute” or “good” names! It’s names that were actually used most often. You shouldn’t be annoyed your child’s name isn’t on the list, you should be glad that you’re not blindly following a trend. does no one remember that in the movie Splash, the whole joke when the Mermaid named herself “Madison” was that it was not a name!? now it’s in the top ten, every year…
May 17th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
WHY ISN’T BRITTANY ON THE LIST BECAUSE I KNOW ABOUT 100 BRITTANYS IN MY NIEGHBORHOOD IF YOU WANT TO GET TECHNICAL ABOUT 20 YEAH I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING WOW!

Wow I can’t believe Lillian was a “popular name” Liliana or Jillian but not Lillian. As for popular boys names this year Dillon/Dylan was rated one of the top boys names in almost EVERY baby name book I have seen. So this list can’t be all that accurate.

Shouldn’t my name be on that list I mean it’s a good name for a baby girl…….
July 13th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
i think the name Karsyn is a great name for a girl, and i love the name Mason for a boy but wut ever. HEY all u ppls who r complaining that ur names arent on there its because the list is from like 2005 or something so ur name might have been popular in the year that you were born but not in 2005 and its not a big deal if ur name isnt in the top 100 :)
July 13th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
my name is not a very popular name (not the spelling anyway) but i like it its different im glad my name isnt a popular name it makes me more unique! :)
o and brittney i think Aurora rain is a pretty name for ur baby girl! :)
July 13th, 2008 at 10:42 pm

July 24th, 2008 at 12:52 am
It doesn’t matter if your name isn’t on there guys. It just isn’t popular. Calm down. Just because your babies name isn’t on there doesn’t mean its not cute. You all sound dumb.
PS. its sick how my name is 13th.
I hate my name and i don’t know alot of people with it

I don’t know if this name is popular but it is another way of spelling Zachary. I made it up!
I think it’s cute the way it’s spelled!
DO YOU LIKE IT?????
August 23rd, 2008 at 5:48 am
What about Bort
August 23rd, 2008 at 11:58 pm
So I am wondering what part of this do 95% of you not understand??? The list has nothing to do with the general cuteness or how much an individual likes a name. The lists are a factual representation of the most commonly used names for babies born within the specified years. And as for Brittney… were all 100 of the Brittney’s that live in your neighborhood born around the years 2005-2006? Because those are the years these lists are representing. Are you older than 3 yourself? I am assuming that you are because you are posting on here. So think about it… maybe the name Brittney would have been on a list about 12 years ago when a lot of the girls that are named Brittney were actually being born.
August 24th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
My name isn’t up there :(
I kinda figured it wouldn’t because it isnt that common but still……….whatev
August 24th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Wow. I’m loving how you’re all overreacting over this name thing. >_>;;
August 31st, 2008 at 6:32 pm
My name isn’et #26 it should be #1
September 1st, 2008 at 1:51 pm
you guys think your name is unpopular? my sister’s name is Carlyn (pronounced car-lin, for you dummies out there)after a little german (i think) girl my mom babysat when she was twelve. whenever we went on vacation and they had the name keychains we’d see Carly, Caroline, Carol, etc. we’d see everything but her name. at least some of you have names that are printed on keychains, so STOP WHINING!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:33 am
If you give your child a Unisex name, you set them up for a lifetime of issues. Whenever they send an email or a letter, people are going to question who they are - what they look like - what gender they should be looking for at the interview etc.
Do yourself and your child a favor and give your boys MASCULINE names. Jayden, Adrian, Hayden are metrosexual names that sound like women. Do your sons a favor.
Also, enough with the stupid spellings - trying to be cute. Brian is not spelled Bryan. Jamie is not spelled Jaime. James is not spelled Jaymes. Give your kids a break…man.
September 14th, 2008 at 1:35 am
I’m a teacher, and basically any names which are not spelt correctly or in the traditional way are percieved as “common” ie. for Chavs in school.
If you want your child to be taken seriously by his / her teachers in school, don’t call him “Zacuri” or her “Tiffeny”.
Spelling is important and it says a lot about you.
September 26th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
first i am #82. woot.
Second I think different spellings are cute. I mean i would never name any child Tiffany in the first place (no offense, but it isnt that cute, and it was my dogs name). But I have a daughter already, named Rhianna (Ree-ana), or Anna. And if we have a boy I am naming him Jakob, and calling him Jak. I think that is so much cuter. Its a little bit of a twist on a normal name, without naming my kid apple or peanut or something.
And I also think that unisex names can be cute, but more for girls. Like Logan is such a cute girls name, so is Ryan.
