Those poor kids (2011 List of Most Popular Baby Names)

My first name is nowhere to be seen.

My 1st boy's name is in the top 20, which staggers me because when we named him in '99, I could not identify one famous person with that name except for one nondescript president.

 

Yeah, Adolf dropped off a long time ago. Sorry.

 

Boy made the top 700.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

We're not talking about Sheep on this thread.

 

Mine's just a bit off the top 100. Somehow, I'm a little bummed out about that.

 

My first name was #10 (#8 in a variant spelling) the year I was born. It now ranks #808.

 

My first name was 16th in 1967. I'm actually surprised it was that low, considering how there always seemed to be at least one other (of that name) in my classes when I was in school. It was 372nd last year.

My sister's name was 28th in 1970, 677th last year. That her name was that high then seems odd because I've only ever met two other people with her first name and one of them was three weeks ago.

 

Mine was top 5 year I was born. Now just over three decades later, barely top 75.

 

My name was 42nd the year I was born (1960), peaked at 39 in 1969 and 1970 and was 664 in 2010 and 811 in 2011.

I always liked my name because few other boys had it, but it wasn't odd. It is rarely mispelled, although it's sometimes pronounced as a similar sounding name.

 

Wow. My son's name wasn't among the top 1,000 when he was born in 2003. Looks like he won't be getting any personalized souvenirs in his future!

My name was 30th when I was born and is now down in the 900s somewhere. Bubbler was a popular choice in 1971.

 

I haven't looked to see if it's sold anywhere, but my son's name will be with a K instead of a C. Until I looked at this I didn't realize how much more popular it was with a C. I just like it better with a K.
