Full list of top 100 names

Very interesting! I’m always fascinated to see which names are popular outside of the US. Thanks for sharing. :slight_smile:

Thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing!

All are very nice names, and aren’t too far off from the top US names. We’re a bit behind the curve on a few of them…but the trends are definitely paralleled. The only two I dislike are [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_m]William[/name_m]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] never got on board with these. The rest are all very pretty/handsome names.

I especially like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] & [name_u]Noah[/name_u]. :slight_smile:

(Also, it is my dream to visit [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealand)

Isn’t it wonderful to have this information so early in 2014! I’m impressed. [name_m]Way[/name_m] to go [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealand!

Thanks for sharing!

No worries :slight_smile:

I live in [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealand and was eagerly awaiting this list as I had my first child in 2013 and both her first and middle had potential to be in the top 100 ([name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]) as both are talked about quite a lot on various baby sites. Luckily neither were.
