[name]Matilda[/name] the musical was big in the UK last year. It came to Broadway this past month. I expect it to rise even more.
I have to admit I’m not to smiley about [name]Alessandra[/name]'s jump up by 50 spots. I really don’t want it to hit top 200 by the time I have a daughter.
[name]Nathaniel[/name]'s the same, [name]Henry[/name]'s jumped up 14 spots, [name]Eric[/name]'s dropped 4.
Omg, [name]Eden[/name] for a boy has jumped from 833 to 677… I’m happy and sad at the same time. lol
[name]London[/name] for a boy has jumped up to 537 rather than 561 it was last year.
[name]Angelo[/name]'s dropped 12 spots, [name]Jack[/name] dropped one, [name]Levi[/name]'s jumped by 11, [name]Laurel[/name]'s dropped from 927 to 972, [name]Leo[/name] jumped up from 167 to 134, [name]Victoria[/name] dropped by five, [name]Elena[/name] jumped up by 21, [name]Rose[/name] jumped up by 30.
My absolute favorite boys’ name, [name]August[/name] moved up 65 RANKS. Ironically, my favorite numbers are 3 and 9… [name]August[/name] moved up to #333 on the SSA list for 2012, and 3 + 3 + 3 = 9! It’s a sign.
My second favorite boys’ name, [name]Henry[/name], moved up from 57 to 43. It’s slowly edging towards being too popular for me to consider it, but it’s still a contender since it’s a family name.
The biggest surprise on my boys’ list though, was [name]Winston[/name]! It moved up 126 spaces.
My girls’ names didn’t move much. The biggest mover was [name]Lilith[/name], which jumped 103 spaces. My two favorites, [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Leona[/name], only moved up ten-ish spaces, and [name]Florence[/name] and [name]Mabel[/name] still haven’t cracked the list, so I’m a happy girl. [name]Just[/name] worried about my boys’ names! Lol
I’ve spent way too much time with this list today… any thoughts on where [name]Kenia[/name] came from? Didn’t rank last year, and it’s in the 600s now.
[name]Winston[/name] may have gained popularity because of the show [name]New[/name] Girl.
I’m really surprised [name]Henry[/name] is at #43. Doesn’t deter me from using it in the future because I like it as a middle name. I’m sad to see [name]Jace[/name] at #83 and [name]Jase[/name] at #304. I’m starting to panic a little. 
Surprised at [name]Lane[/name] (#288). My experience has been people dislike it. There’s about 10 different spellings of [name]Aiden[/name] so I’m seriously wondering if it is number one once you combine spellings.
[name]Haven[/name]'t looked at the girls list much yet.
I have not spent much time reading the entire list yet, but I thought I’d add a note on one of our daughter’s names (who happens to be a 2012 baby!) - [name]Coraline[/name] entered the top 1000 for the first time ever! #823 with 324 babies. Wow!
[name]Matilda[/name] didn’t surprise me as much as [name]Lilith[/name]. up 103 spots.
With the musical and [name]Matilda[/name] being a fairly well known children’s book heroine I can see people feeling comfortable with it.
I adore [name]Lilith[/name] (ghost/night monster) I’m just floored a name that could be considered fairly controversial and has negative pop culture references (and is almost synonymous with female [name]Lucifer[/name] in those contexts) jumped so much.
Seriously, the TrueBlood and Supernatural characters can’t be responsible for this bump can they? I’m I missing an important positive [name]Lilith[/name] out there? (She went from 923 to 820 - I know barely there but still.)
[name]Jensen[/name] Button. English formula one racing driver. He’s famous here and anywhere formula one is popular.
Wow great link!
What’s with this boys’ name [name]Gael[/name]? From #407 to #146. That’s a huge jump. Strange.
Here are the SSA statistics on popularity changes. First number beside the name is how much the name increased, second number is the rank in 2012 and the third number is the rank in 2011.

[name]Gale[/name] [name]Hawthorn[/name] is a character in the Hunger Games 
Speaking of The Hunger Games… there were 12 girls named Katniss in 2012… I knew there would be some!
Edited to add:
There were 59 girls named Renesmee last year, an increase of 23 from 2011. And even worse, there were 11 with the spelling Renesmae, so they’re even coming up with NEW spellings.
Heaven help us!
Oh god. If people start asking me if my name is short for ‘renesmee’ I may be forced to punch someone "-_-
Perhaps the one in Bones?
Well, that makes sense! I changed my mind on [name]Christine[/name] because of Bones’ baby 
This might be a stretch, but there is a woman on the Real Housewives of [name]Orange[/name] County that joined the show last year, and she has a daughter named [name]Colette[/name]…
I thought about this as well, though I remember seeing her name is spelled [name]Collette[/name]. Maybe the hype for [name]Les[/name] Mis’ [name]Cosette[/name] turned into baby [name]Colette[/name]'s… Meh, long shot.
It’s most likely that French girl names are on the rise.
