2011 US baby names

[littletomato]

Don't know why I am suddenly interested in names, as there's no chance that I'm even slightly pregnant, but the 2011 list of most popular US names has just been released:
www.ssa.gov/pressoffice/pr/babynames2011-pr.html

Thanks for posting this, is v interesting particularly how much it differs from the UK chart - for example Ruby does not feature very near the top at all whereas names like Samantha which I would consider v eighties and Aubrey (surely a boy's name!) are in the top 20. I would imagine there is perhaps more regional variation in the US than there is here though.

That is really interesting to see the difference! Not sure I has noticed Mason and Madison in the top 10s here. Thanks!

I like this.

26 people (Or 52 if both parents agreed) thought it was a good idea to call their twins Jayden, Jaylen.

Landon & London.

Twins with the same name, but one pronounced in a cockney accent. Quite brilliant.

29 sets of twins called Heaven and Nevaeh! Just why?

Loving the lists of twin names. Favourites are Heaven, Nevaeh; Landon, London & Mia, Mya!

Jeremy and Jeremiah is quite good as well, actually...

Ayden and Jayden????

Give me strength!

Heaven and Nevaeh. Oh my goodness. London & Paris! Actually, I quite like Autumn & Summer.

Makes me so proud to be an American. Not.
