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.

Which would make sense; I know lots of little ones with those names. :)

i am LOVING Payzlei. [scottish]

Wow. Most of those just look like a really bad hand of Scrabble.

Yank I completely agree with the Teen Mom = Bentley! Bleurgh.

I worked out our Top 10 boy names:

OFFICIAL top names not taking into account different spellings of the same name:

1. William
2. Mason
3. Lucas
4. Levi
5. Elijah
6. Landon
7. Nolan
8. Tyler
9. Bentley

10. Brayden 10. Jackson (tie)

Counting different spellings of the same name as one name is different:

1. William
2. Jackson / Jaxon / Jaxen / Jaxson
3. Aden / Adon / Aiden / Aidan / Aidyn
4. Bentlee / Bentley
5. Lucas / Lukus
6. Brayden / Braiden
7. Elijah
8. Tyler

10. Landon

Oops Mason should have been squished in there before Elijah on the second list.

Should I include the entire 'K' list? It involves some true beauties

Dear god - it just looks like they can't spell. The misspellings of Aidan make me want to weep.

But yes... Give us the Ks! I think you can always guarantee good names beginning with K :o

But Soup! They're being yooneek!

"lists all the babies born by name, birthday, parents names"

I hope they have obtained the consent of all families - this sort of data is a dream of future ID thieves.

Yes, as I previously mentioned families can opt out but I don't think it's very common to do so. Surnames and addresses are not listed. First names only and birth days.

Wston not mush use for ID thieves without a surname though.

sorry for poor spelling. I meant Weston and much. The data is not much use for ID thieves without surnames.

I hated Bentley when Maci chose it.
I like Sophia.
I hate Leah.
I don't like Carly.

Yes I judge all American names by pregnant teenagers on the tellybox.
Sometimes.

OP didn't mention surnames: but date and (in particular) place of birth is valuable info, especially as family first names makes surnames easy to find.

I note this wasn't in UK - I don't think it would be legal here without consent, and I do not think that amount of data would be released in one place.

How is the identity of a newborn baby going to be much use?

I know a Kinnidi. It's pronounced Kennedy.

MudAndGlitter I promise, most American kids have fairly normal names. 'Round here they're all Alex or Owen or Jake for boys, and Ava, Bella, or Grace for girls. There are quite a few Madisons, which I don't like. Madeleine is much better. I do know a little Mattigan as well, which I actually think is kind of cool. It's her mother's maiden name and they call her Mattie.

Christ.

I feel it is once again time to bring out ye olde Utah babynamer

Kinnidi is fucking horrible

I love Mattie for a girl. I love boys names for girls yet DD still gets called the girl abbreviation of her name rather than the boy one!

Ah, the Utah-ites. The Mormons usually get the blame for it, but the family of Mormons I know really well are called Matthew, Melanie, Sean, Ryan, and Shannon. So not too out there. :) But they're not the really out-there fundamentalists...I think those people tend to be the over the top namers.

OMg - Abcde for a girl! LOLOL

PMSL at Payzlei and Jahlexyz. That is all I have to say.

How do you pronounce Sophyia? It looks like they couldn't decide between Sophy and Sophia.
