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.

all 3 DCs in top 40 (or versions of) but in RL don't know anyone with 2 of the names and a few of the other, but not the same age as that DC so all good!!

FourLittleDudes · 12/08/2013 22:24

I am in the 90s

One of my boys is midway down the list and my other 3 boys are no where to be seen!

CookiecutterShark · 12/08/2013 22:21

Ds is an Oliver so no.2! His middle name is there near the bottom and he shares that with my dh. My name isn't there, although a shortened form is - and my name is really common (especially, though not only, in my age group). Dd's name is also not there, but then I've never met another child with the same name and it's not really 'out there' - she's a Tess.

None of my siblings or my dh's are on there either and they don't have unusual names - obviously we are all of our time in this family!

Liara · 12/08/2013 22:20

On the long list, dh and me are in 600 odd position, ds1 in 900odd.

notanyanymore · 12/08/2013 22:20

Dd1 is not in the top 100 Dd2 is in the top 20, yet we know 2 other little girls with the same name as Dd1 locally and none with Dd2's!

CheckpointCharlie · 12/08/2013 22:20

Yup. Dd1 coming in at #1. Dd2 not there!!!!
DH middley, me nowhere to be seen!

steppemum · 12/08/2013 22:18

I didn't want popular names, but

ds is in top 30
(wasn't when we named him, wasn't in top 100 and it is family name - we obviously started the trend Grin

dd1 has long name that no-one else in UK has, short name is top 30

dd1 not in top 100

me - not on list but if was 1990, would have been no.2 or 3

dh - no-one else in Uk!

elQuintoConyo · 12/08/2013 22:17

DS top 20.
DH not in top 100 (foreigner!)
I'm not in top 100 although my name is very common for my age group.

girliefriend · 12/08/2013 22:16

Mine and my dds name are in the top 5 Shock Grin

oh well they are good names, not surprised we started a trend Wink

Liara · 12/08/2013 22:15

dh, ds1 and me - not on. Ds2, top 100 but not top 10.

Jemima all my DCs have Welsh names too beautiful names not common at all

MeerkatMerkin · 12/08/2013 22:10

My name is in top 10.

DS and DH not on there.

ithaka · 12/08/2013 22:07

DD2 is in the top 40. DD1 isn't in the top 100, neither am I or my DH. However, we are in Scotland & I suspect the Scottish list would be a wee bit different.

ConcreteElephant · 12/08/2013 22:05

DS (born last year) is top 20, DD is top 50 (just!). Both have fairly traditional names so I'm not at all surprised. DH is top 50, again pretty traditional, biblical in fact.

I'm top 850 ;) which is highly amusing because if you put 100 women born in the mid 70s in a room together you'd probably find you couldn't move without falling over someone with my name...

HorryIsUpduffed · 12/08/2013 21:56

OK, for what it's worth I've just spent a couple of hours combining alternative spellings of all names scoring at least 100 (ie a manageable set of boys and of girls, at around 400 each rather than the 5000+).

The top tens are:

1 HARRI / HARRY / HARRIS / HARRISON 9,680
2 OLIVER / OLIVIER / OLLIE / OLLY 8,337
3 JACOB / JAKUB / JAKE 8,181
4 MOHAMED / MOHAMMAD / MOHAMMED / MUHAMMAD / MUHAMMED 8,006
5 THOMAS / TOM / TOMAS / TOMMY / TOMOS 6,720
6 CHARLES / CHARLIE 6,659
7 JAC(K) 6,436
8 JAMES / JAMIE 5,720
9 ALFIE / ALFRED 5,218
10 RYLEE / RYLEY / RILEY 5,208

1 AVA / EVA / EVE / EVIE / EVELYN 10,692
2 SOFIA / SOPHIA / SOPHIE / ZOFIA 7,824
3 ISABEL / ISABELLA / ISABELLE / ISOBEL / ISOBELLE / IZABELLA 7,620
4 AMELIA 7,293
5 LILY / LILLY / LILLIE 6,982
6 MAIA / MAJA / MAYA 6,020
7 EMILY / EMILIA / EMELIA 5,393
8 OLIVIA / LIVIA / OLIWIA 4,854
9 JESSICA / JESSIE 4,468
10 GRACE / GRACIE 4,415

GraduallyGoingInsane · 12/08/2013 21:56

I'm not, nor is DH. I bet I end up there soon though as my name is 'coming round' again thanks to a particular celeb.

DD1 and DD2 are between 50 and 100. DD3 is top 20 and DD4 isn't there at all. Odd, as I'd have thought they'd all be around the same level of popularity - DD1 would have been considerably higher if we'd opted for the English way of spelling her name.

noisytoys · 12/08/2013 21:49

DD2 is number 69. DD1 isn't on the list but people always say how well the 2 names go together (Saffron and Willow)

Dillydollydaydream · 12/08/2013 21:46

Ds1 top 10
ds2 nowhere in top 100
Dd1 nowhere in top 100
Dd2 top 20

Lozza70 · 12/08/2013 21:46

Just looked at the full list and am Shock at the poor boys named Baby!! Lack of imagination??

Piddlepuddle · 12/08/2013 21:41

Lynette, as many boys were called Issac (ie as in Isaac, spelt incorrectly) as were called Jeremy - is bonkers!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/08/2013 21:23

We have eight names between 4 people - 3 of them are on the list.

Hazelbrowneyes · 12/08/2013 21:20

No kids yet but DH and I are both outside of the top 100.

TheBookofRuth · 12/08/2013 21:16

DD is not in the top 100, despite having a name frequently decried as "far too popular" every time it's mentioned here!

MothershipG · 12/08/2013 21:15

My name was 3rd most popular the year I was born - I'm not even in the top 100 now. Smile
