worldgonemad72 · 02/03/2011 20:55

just for fun, did your baby make the list in 2009 or 2010? if so where did they come?

My ds hasn't made the list at all in the last 2 years but then it is quite an old name.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Interesting lists. The Americans are indeed more adventurous when it comes to naming their children, wheras a lot of English seem to be more conservative .

Both mine are still outside of the top 100 - hope it stays that way.

DS 1568 (used 14 times)
DD 123 (used over 400 times)

DS1 was used 7 times (position 2254) (I know one of those and it's not DS1 )

DS2 - not on there

DS3 - used 3 times - position 4527

ONS

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 04/03/2011 12:42

tabs at the bottom of where???? which link - the ONS or the American list one??

FlingonTheValiant · 04/03/2011 12:42

It's kendodd's link, then you need 2009 B N S in excel format. Then there should be tables, it's table 6

shufflebum · 04/03/2011 12:40

I haven't got any tabs at the bottom

FlingonTheValiant · 04/03/2011 12:38

Do you see the tabs at the bottom? Work along them til you reach tab 6

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 04/03/2011 12:35

please someone explain how to find names that aren't in the top 100.........I just keep finding lists of top 100 and I know my DS's names won't be any of them.

FlingonTheValiant · 04/03/2011 12:34

Apparently! They don't list names with fewer than 3 though.

MamaLazarou · 04/03/2011 12:31

Not at all? You mean it's even more unusual than Siddhartha?

FlingonTheValiant · 04/03/2011 12:29

DS isn't on the list. I feel a bit sad.

MamaLazarou · 04/03/2011 12:26

My little boy's name was 3227th most popular name in 2009.

Can't find the 2010 link on that page, but I'm sure it will have risen in popularity.

ConstanceFelicity · 04/03/2011 12:25

Me neither

shufflebum · 04/03/2011 12:18

I can't work it out either!

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 04/03/2011 12:12

ermm - which link on that page KenDod - how are you smallsniffle and others finding how many times the names were used?

LittleDonkin · 04/03/2011 12:07

DD number 33 in 2009 she is 20 weeks old and I havent yet met another baby with her name.

rachel1970 · 03/03/2011 22:09

DS used 14 times (position 1568)
DD used 444 times (position 122)

Hope neither of their names rises up into the top 100....

smallsniffle · 03/03/2011 21:50

DS1 used 17 times (position 1358)
DS2 used 132 times (position 311)

DS1's name has been dropping in popularity while DS2's name appears to be on the rise.

Alishanty · 03/03/2011 21:46

My dd born in 2008 name made the top 100 apparently in 2009 at about 97 :/ ?

headfairy · 03/03/2011 21:35

dd was 98th

ds was 72nd - I'm quite surprised about that, I thought they'd be the other way round.

tammytoby · 03/03/2011 21:30

Thanks Ken - great list (you need to scroll to the most right tab at the botton). DS name used only 14 times last year .

KenDoddsDadsDog · 03/03/2011 18:23

Here you go

SchrodingersCatFliesToOz · 03/03/2011 18:02

DD1 is not there (but I got bored) but there is 72 "unknow" poor girls .
DD2 is safely in the 700.s
Some really funny names and interesting spellings

tammytoby · 03/03/2011 17:41

That US list is great - the Americans seem much more open minded and creative about names, as the list is so long and interesting .
