List of all boys born in December at my local hospital

[Fishpond]

Discovered the wonderful website of my local hospital that lists all the babies born by name, birthday, parents names. It's fabulous for making sure that I don't choose the most popular name in my town ... although from the list I am definitely in my own company! Opinions on the names or just a generalization of the list? I'm in America. Hugely interesting variation from the UK lists.

Fascinating! Never heard of most of those

Could you post the list of girls names?

Please?

Is this a standard thing over there?

Yep will do girls, hold on just a tick...have just finished compiling all boy names from 2010-2011 although was great fun and the 'K' list is terrifying

I don't know if this is standard or not, to be honest!

Sorry a couple are out of alphabetical order - tis late

Thanks! How very interesting. I wish our hospitals did this too!

Payzlei?
That is truly bizarre?

Wow!

Well if I ever have another daughter she will be named Jahlexyz D?Via Payzlei Sophyia .

Jahlexyz ???

I did find Payzlei rather myself.

America - the land where otherwise perfectly normal adults think spelling their child's name as if it were a pharmaceutical is a capital idea.

I've never seen so many names I don't like in one place.

Our local hospital has these up in the reception for maternity. Very different list though.

OP, is it possible for parents to opt out of this list? I'm just wondering whether some parents have self selected to appear and others not. Surely the not all Americans can have made up names?

Surely not all Americans can have made up names?

Yes parents can opt out. I think it's rare to do so though because they put up newborn stats and photos. It's an easy and quick way for out of town relatives to see the baby which is why I assume most people agree to it.

Shall I do a top 10 boys list for the whole year later? You'll be pleased to know the number 1 name is William!

Thank-you for making me smile

Sad that my name - Sophie - is on the girls' list! It wasn't popular at all when I was born and now it's so popular that it even makes the mad list!

I wonder if it's a Spanish style pronunciation TSC as in Jose? iyswim?

Seren- it's not on the mad list- the list is all the children born, not just the oddly named.

Can proudly (thankfully!!) say that apart from a more unusual (??) spelling of DSs name none of my childens names feature on either list.

Betty my son's name is Sam. (Samuel Robert). No, darling, not all Americans have made up names. :o

Chaos I'm pretty sure it's pronounced Yalexis. The child in question looks very Caucasian, although I don't want to judge!

Ewwww...Bentley. Stupid Teen Moms. I lay the blame squarely at their door. I'll see if I can find one for my nearest large hospital. I'm in a different area than Fishpond.

Ok. Back from Googling. They don't give a list of everyone but they do top 10 for 2011.

Girls are: Ava, Olivia, Sophia, Addison, Grace, Ella, Claire, Lily, Abigail, and Avery.

Boys are: Logan, Gavin, Mason, Owen, Carter, Ethan, Alexander, Evan, Jacob, and Liam.
