How Common Is Common??

General Name Discussion

I know names that I really like happen to be very common, but I wonder how common they are in real life vs. the Social Security list.

Out of curiosity, how many [name]Ava[/name]'s, [name]Sophia[/name]'s, and [name]Bella[/name]'s do you know??
(I like [name]Bella[/name] as a name on it’s own, not necessarily a nickname. I know there are a lot more [name]Isabella[/name]'s nn [name]Bella[/name], than just [name]Bella[/name]'s out there)

I am a preschool teacher in [name]Texas[/name]. I know…
[name]Ava[/name]-6
[name]Sophia[/name]-3
[name]Bella[/name]-I can think of several Isabellas, though only one that I know of goes solely by [name]Bella[/name]. I also know one always called [name]Belle[/name].

I think the little girls names that I run across most are [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Emma[/name]-variants, and [name]Caroline[/name].
