Location based name game

[ghoti]

I notice that the SSA list popular names by state, and wondered what name I’d choose if I were to choose only from popular names in my area.

So, the idea is; post the top 5 boys and girls names for your state/county/city and choose one of each.

For my county:
Boys:
[name]Mohammed[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Charles[/name]/[name]Charlie[/name]

Girls:
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Isabelle[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Jessica[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]

I pick [name]Daniel[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name].

for boys:
[name]Michael[/name]
[name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Jacob[/name]
[name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name]

for girls
[name]Ava[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name]
[name]Emma[/name]
[name]Madison[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name]

Hmm…I pick [name]Matthew[/name] and [name]Isabella[/name].

Boys:

1. [name]Ryan[/name]
2. [name]Michael[/name]
3. [name]Jacob[/name]
4. [name]Matthew[/name]
5. [name]William[/name]

3. [name]Olivia[/name]
4. [name]Emma[/name]
5. [name]Sophia[/name]

For boys, I like the top 5 (not a huge fan of [name]William[/name] though) but I like their alternatives more, [name]Rylan[/name], [name]Micah[/name], [name]Jacoby[/name], [name]Mattias[/name], [name]Williamson[/name] (not a huge fan of [name]Williamson[/name] either.) If I had to choose from the top 5 I would go with [name]Michael[/name].

For girls, all of them seem way to recent and popular for me. I think I like [name]Olivia[/name] the best though.

[bluebelle]

State: New Hampshire

Boys:
[name]Griffin[/name]
[name]Liam[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name]

Girls:
[name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Gracie[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name]

choices:
[name]Lily[/name] and [name]Griffin[/name]

on a side note: i have never viewed the names by state and it was interesting to see what my particular state has that isnt all that common all over. [name]Jacoby[/name] is ranked 81 for boys (obviously its a new england state and we love our red sox players) and i had no idea cadence was so popular for girls. and my biggest surprise is that maeve is 104 here! of course since our state is so small that means only 12 little girls were named maeve last year, but that is far more popular than the national ranking of 638.

So, the idea is; post the top 5 boys and girls names for your state/county/city and choose one of each.

For my county:
Boys:
[name]Mohammed[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Charles[/name]/[name]Charlie[/name]

Girls:
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Isabelle[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Jessica[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]

I pick [name]Daniel[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name].

[name]How[/name] do you figure out which baby names are the top five in your county or city?

[bellumina]

• State, NJ. I’d have liked to do my county, but I can’t figure out where to find that…

GIRLS:

• [name]Isabella[/name]
• [name]Ava[/name]
• [name]Sophia[/name]
• [name]Olivia[/name]
• [name]Emily[/name]

BOYS:

• [name]Michael[/name]
• [name]Matthew[/name]
• [name]Anthony[/name]
• [name]Christopher[/name]
• [name]Daniel[/name]

For me, it’d have to be [name]Sophia[/name] & [name]Matthew[/name].

(PS: I can’t help but cringe when I see that in New Mexico, [name]Nevaeh[/name] is on the most popular names list at number THREE…)

[dancersventure]

Boys:

1. [name]Michael[/name]
2. [name]Ryan[/name]
3. [name]Jacob[/name]
4. [name]Matthew[/name]
5. [name]Joseph[/name]

Girls:

1. [name]Ava[/name]
2. [name]Olivia[/name]
3. [name]Emma[/name]
4. [name]Madison[/name]
5. [name]Isabella[/name]

My picks?:
Boy = [name]Michael[/name] (I had no idea it was #1 in my state–bleh; however, I think it is such a beautiful, classic name).
Girl = [name]Isabella[/name].

This is just for my state (PA)–I will have to go about obtaining the county lists next!

I live in the UK, so no state for me, but I googled for ‘top names Cambridgeshire’. I’ve seen other people who had lists from their hospital, but I wasn’t sure how widespread that was, whereas I knew State-wide information was readily available.

[annabelle]

I live in Belgium, and this is the top 5 for my province right now:

1. [name]Louis[/name] (pronounced as in [name]France[/name], the s is silent)

2. [name]Mathis[/name]

3. [name]Kobe[/name] (pronounced Koh-buh)

4. [name]Milan[/name] (pronounced as Mee-lahn, rather than [name]Mai[/name]-luhn)

5. [name]Lucas[/name]

6. [name]Louise[/name] (has three syllables lou-ee-suh)

7. [name]Emma[/name]

8. [name]Elise[/name] (same here: 3 syllables: a-lee-suh)

9. [name]Ella[/name]

10. [name]Julie[/name] (pronounced with a french J, a lot softer than in English, something like ‘zy’, and with the accent on the second syllable)

I wouldn’t ever consider one of these names, because they are so popular, but I used to really like [name]Lucas[/name] and [name]Ella[/name]!

BTW, how do you make the names light up in pink??
