2012 Top 100 Baby Names

My daughter is within top 100, but not top 10.
Neither DF or I seem to be on this list, but my spelling is a tad different from the original, so will look again.

My sisters name is in here.

DS is in the top 5, DD doesn't even rank on the lists and probably never will (unusual name ).
Shockingly my name doesn't rank either. Clearly my name is no longer popular. I know roughly 10 other ladies who share my name, we are all roughly the same age, so it must have been in the top 10 when I was born.
DH is in the top 50.

miffybun73 · 13/08/2013 18:13

DD is 4th

DS is 16th

DH and me are outside of top 100.

NotMyChashkaChai · 13/08/2013 15:34

DD (born 2012) is in the top 1100s
DH is top 800s
I am top 900s

Interestingly there almost the same number of babies born with mine and DH's name (in the 40s). DH and DD have foreign names and so I would expect them to be low down the lists. Mine is a flower name and perhaps due a resurgence soon with all the Poppys and Lillys etc.

20wkbaby · 13/08/2013 14:01

We are all in the top 100 but I think we all have nice names so not really bothered. Lowest position is within top 50 so we are all fairly popularly named - sort of a compliment in a way!

brightonbythesea · 13/08/2013 13:55

DD is well inside the top 20, I am in the top 50. I wouldn't care if her name was number 1, I think it's beautiful and that's all that matters!

EugenesAxe · 13/08/2013 10:49

DH is top 10.
I am top 50.
DD is top 30.
DS is top 20.

We all have conventional names. Neither of my sisters are in there but my nephew is top 10.

curlew - that's good to know, as there are some names on this list that it would be depressing to know belonged to a significant portion of the population.

GobblersKnob · 13/08/2013 10:48

Me, dd and ds are all in the top 50. Dp's name is never ever going to feature in any such list Grin

MrsGSR · 13/08/2013 10:36

Neither mine nor DHs name are there, we're due in January and our chosen boys name is top 20 and girls name is top 70.

FieryChipotle · 13/08/2013 09:58

The shortened version of DS2 is in the top 20 but my other DC are not in the top 100, nor are me or DH! I'm quite surprised that DS1 doesn't feature as I always thought his name was relatively common!

TobyLerone · 13/08/2013 09:56

DS is in top 30.

DD is in top 70.

DH is in top 50.

I'm not in the top 100.

DC3 is unlikely to be in the top 100. There are a few names we like, but they're right down the bottom.

RememberingMyPFEs · 13/08/2013 09:48

DD (2weeks old) is in the top 80. I'm in the 90s and DH doesn't feature

HorryIsUpduffed · 13/08/2013 09:35

I combine them because nearly all the Evelyns I know are known as Eve/Evie.

FreedomOfTheTess · 13/08/2013 09:30

I know it wouldn't change the Ava/Eva/Eve names being on the top spot, but I wouldn't have counted Evelyn among the Eve variants as it's not related to Eve at all.

Evelyn was originally a surname, originated from the first name Aveline, which in turn came from the Germanic name Avila. And of course, it's original (proper?!) pronunciation is evuh-lyn, not eve-lyn.

WheresMyCow · 13/08/2013 09:12

For boys names my dad is in the 20's, DS in the 30's and DH in the 450's.

For girls names I'm in the 50's and my DM is way down in the 3200's somewhere - when she was born it was in the top 20!

RakeABedOfTyneFilth · 13/08/2013 09:12

DS is just outside the top ten.
I am outside the top 100 but there are three short versions of my name higher up the chart, and I've added all the obvious spellings/shortenings together and got 3800+ which would put me up to #5.
There were only 13 boys named my DH's name in 2012.

Choccyhobnob · 13/08/2013 09:11

I think I win, my name is number 2969!

DH - top 40
Sister 1 - top 10
Sister 2 - Top 40
Brother 1 - Top 12
Brother 2 - Top 30

So glad I have an unusual name! Our chosen names for future children are number 370 something for a girl and just inside top 100 for a boy (which is still too popular for my liking!)

ZingWidge · 13/08/2013 08:55

DH and I are not on the list!

we have 6 kids and they have middle names, that's 12.

11 are on the list, mainly in top 20, not top ten.
DD was born last year, the boys names we chose for her are also on the list.

gazzalw · 13/08/2013 08:54

Both DCs easily in the Top 100 (to our chagrin - we had loved both their names for years...) but we are nowhere to be seen......

Certainly would have been entirely different for me though around the time that I was born - pretty sure mine would have been a Top 10 name

Ooops read it again, and DS is there - but right down at the very bottom.

Yonihadtoask · 13/08/2013 08:48

No. DS is 15 though - he has what I thought was a classical name.

Mine and DH names aren't mentioned at all.

BikeRunSki · 13/08/2013 08:46

I like boys name no.15 too Bruffin. It is DS's too.

bruffin · 13/08/2013 08:45

Just looked on the other link and DH 178 and i am 1018. I am surprised about DH name being more popular than mine as i havent heard of a child called DH name in years.

bruffin · 13/08/2013 08:33

DS is no15 but its a classic name that probably has never been out of the top 20. I am really surprised DDs name is no longer top 100 as it was top 10 when she was born and is a classic biblical name which wouldnt really date.
Neither DH or I are in the top 100 but they are fairly typical 1950/60s names.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 13/08/2013 08:23

DS is top 20.

Dd isn't in there.

Both DH and I aren't in there either but I would have been number one in the year I was born.
