I’m sorry if the format is bad, I copy and pasted this from Reddit. I thought it would be fun to see how many people you know that have names in the Top 10 to see how they correlate to real life. You can just copy and paste what I wrote and change my text with yours. This doesn’t count celebrities or people you know online! If you want to you can include ages!

[name_m]Liam[/name_m] one, 14 years old
[name_m]Noah[/name_m] a couple people, all young
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] many dogs but no humans
[name_m]James[/name_m] know several but hardly any go by [name_m]James[/name_m]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] met one 13-14 yrs old and heard of another
[name_m]Mateo[/name_m] none
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] none
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] one, around 8 years old
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] two, both 14
[name_m]William[/name_m] a couple but none of them go by [name_m]William[/name_m]
Girls:
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] a young toddler and an 11 yr old dog
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] a couple across a span of ages
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] one, around 11 years old
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] none
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] one, but spelled [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] instead.
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] one, highschool graduate (17-18 y/o)
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] none but have met many Isabels
[name_f]Ava[/name_f] one, someone’s little sister who I assume is 7-10
[name_f]Evelyn[/name_f] one, 7-8 y/o
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] one dog and one cat
2

Current top 10:

  1. Liam: just one, a friend’s little brother who’d probably be 15 or 16 now
  2. Noah: 2, both people I went to high school with
  3. Oliver: one cat, zero humans
  4. James: too many to count
  5. Elijah: just one, from high school

  8. Henry: two, this is one of my little brothers’ names and there’s another Henry at school
  9. Lucas: two, a cousin and a boy at school
  10. William: several, but none of them actually go by William, they’re all Will, Liam, or (if they’re older) Bill

Girls -

  1. Olivia: one, from high school
  2. Emma: a few, various ages but all under 25

[name_m]Liam[/name_m] — 2 or 3, though I think one is [name_m]William[/name_m] “Liam”

[name_m]Noah[/name_m] — uncountable. I know 12 off the top of my head alone of all ages, and I know I am probably forgetting some.

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m] — I know two, and one [name_m]Ollie[/name_m] who is also full-name [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]

[name_m]James[/name_m] — uncountable. I know tons and tons. Some go by [name_f]Jamie[/name_f]

[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] — six or seven off the top, and I know several more [name_m]Elis[/name_m] who may also be full-name Elijahs

[name_m]Mateo[/name_m] — I know one [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] and one [name_m]Matteo[/name_m]. Both 20-30 years old
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] — over 10 for sure, all under 10, most go by [name_m]Teddy[/name_m]

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] — I know one person with this name, and thats my dad and it’s not even his legal name just the one he goes by

[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] — I grew up with two (30ish) and know two more that are little kids (9ish)

[name_m]William[/name_m] — I know several, like more than I can count, and at least one of them goes by [name_m]Liam[/name_m], and a few more by Willie/Willy or Billy/Bill. All of them but one are older than me.

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] — I know 7 at least, two of whom I grew up with and the rest are varying ages younger. A couple go by [name_f]Liv[/name_f] or [name_f]Livvy[/name_f]

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] — I know a whole ton, of all ages, including one of my niblings. This is one of the most common names around me.

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] — I know one older lady named this, and then 7 or 8 younger than 3. Then there are a few with spellings like [name_f]Sharlette[/name_f] or [name_f]Charlette[/name_f] ect. Some go by [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] or [name_m]Charlie[/name_m] but most are just [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] — A very popular pick around me! I know dozens, literally, of all ages. The one I grew up with went by [name_f]Emme[/name_f] 100% of the time, and one I know goes by [name_f]Millie[/name_f]. There are also spelling variations of Ameilya and Ammeliya.

[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] — I know 5, and a handful more of Sofias. None go by [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] that I know of

[name_f]Mia[/name_f] — I know 2 or 3, but they would have been my age (30ish). I know a little girl who goes by [name_f]Mia[/name_f], but her full name is [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] — I know at least 8, but all of them went by [name_f]Izzy[/name_f] or [name_f]Bella[/name_f]. I don’t even know any Isabelle/Isabels

[name_f]Ava[/name_f] — I know three toddlers who go by [name_f]Ava[/name_f], but their fulls names are Avajean, [name_f]Avarie[/name_f], or [name_f]Avaleigh[/name_f] instead of just [name_f]Ava[/name_f]

[name_f]Evelyn[/name_f] — I know 5 I think, but 3 are much older ladies. The 5-year-old I know goes by [name_f]Evey[/name_f] (ehv-ee), and the 20ish year old goes by [name_f]Evie[/name_f] (ee-vee). I also know an [name_f]Eveline[/name_f] and an [name_f]Evelynn[/name_f], but they’re both said like [name_f]Eve[/name_f] not Ehv.

[name_f]Luna[/name_f] — I know only one human, who is 3 now, but I know a bunch of doggos with this name.

I think this is highly dependent on age! I am in my twenties and don’t know a ton of young children, most of whom don’t have top ten names. If I looked at the top ten for the year I was born, I’m sure I would probably know a lot more of them.

[name_m]Liam[/name_m]: one
[name_m]Noah[/name_m]: three
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]: one who is definitely named [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], plus someone who exclusively went by [name_m]Ollie[/name_m] and I think was likely actually named [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]James[/name_m]: more than I can count
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m]: one
[name_m]Mateo[/name_m]: none
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]: one
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]: two
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]: three
[name_m]William[/name_m]: more than I can count

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]: four
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]: three
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]: three
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]: one
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]: five
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f]: two, but know several more Isabelles
[name_f]Ava[/name_f]: none
[name_f]Evelyn[/name_f]: one
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]: none

So that’s thirteen total for the boys + two very classic names I know too many of to count, and nineteen for girls’ names in the current top ten. [name_m]Just[/name_m] to compare, I’ll look at the list for my actual year of birth.

[name_m]Michael[/name_m]: again, too many to count
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m]: five, and possibly more I’ve forgotten
[name_m]Matthew[/name_m]: seven, also might be missing some
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]: at least eight
[name_m]Joshua[/name_m]: I actually can only think of one [name_m]Joshua[/name_m] that I know personally, which is a surprise given the others.
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]: four
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]: four
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m]: two. I actually know way more Brendans.
[name_m]Austin[/name_m]: one
[name_m]Tyler[/name_m]: one, but it’s actually a woman

[name_f]Emily[/name_f]: seven
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]: five
[name_f]Ashley[/name_f]: three
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]: eight, at least
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]: three
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f]: two
[name_f]Taylor[/name_f]: one, but it’s a guy.
[name_f]Alexis[/name_f]: three
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]: again, more than I can count, all ages
[name_f]Madison[/name_f]: one who is definitely [name_f]Madison[/name_f], though I know a ton of Maddies who could be [name_f]Madison[/name_f] or [name_f]Madeline[/name_f].

So that’s 33 for the boys plus too many Michaels to count, and 33 plus untold Elizabeths for the girls.
