Nameberry vs SSA top 10, 2021

Thought I’d show some comparisons, since I always find it interesting! What are your thoughts?

SSA ~ NAMEBERRY

  1. Olivia … Eloise
  2. Emma … Aurelia
  3. Charlotte … Ava
  4. Amelia … Rose
  5. Ava … Maeve
  6. Sophia … Esme
  7. Isabella … Eleanor
  8. Mia … Imogen
  9. Evelyn … Aurora
  10. Harper … Ophelia

Only Ava featuring on both! I am rather surprised Evelyn topped the SSA but not also Nameberry; I find I see it mentioned a lot on the site.

I’m surprised to see [name_f]Ava[/name_f] in our top 10! I feel like I hardly ever see her around the forums

Me too!!

And I agree with @futuremama Ava surprises me because it doesn’t feel very NB. I feel like I see Eva, Eve or Ada more!

I was super surprised by Evelyn when I compiled NB’s first quarter top names recently. It’s not even in the NB Top 100 for Jan-Mar this year!

I’m not a huge fan of either list, to be honest. These names are all lovely, lilting, mostly on the longer side. I prefer my girl names short and punchy, and not too conventionally “pretty”, with some spikier sounds than these. I do like Esme :heartpulse:
