I’m attaching the full file here so you can see all the data. So ironic to go back and view some of the comments from last year’s results thread (click here!) and see how right (or wrong) we were about some of these names. Do any from this year’s list surprise you? Because I was surprised by some of these names this year!
This has been so much fun! See you again next summer and we’ll do it all again! Top 25 [Girls 2024].docx (30.1 KB)
I’m actually most surprised by [name_f]Opal[/name_f]! I do love her, but she’s not a name I think of as more universally liked (as opposed to most of the rest of this list).
Wow! I really do have the typical “berry” style. I love [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], and [name_f]Thea[/name_f].
Wow! I do feel like [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] has become popular recently on the forums, but I never would have guessed it would be number 1! [name_f]Lila[/name_f] also surprises me – I really like the name but I don’t feel like I see it mentioned that often?
The others don’t surprise me that much, although the significant amount of change from last year is interesting and unexpected! [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] fell from number 1 to completely off the top 25 list!? I wouldn’t have guessed that!
So cool seeing the changes from last year to this year! A few surprising ones and a lot more change than I would’ve expected but on the whole, still a very [name_f]Berry[/name_f] list - thanks so much for doing this!
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] surprises me. I feel like I don’t see people talk about har as much as some of the others and definitely not enough for a top 5 ranking, thats wild to me.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering, did less people respond than last year? I’m trying to figure out how [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is #2! It’s interesting to see [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], and [name_f]Fern[/name_f], as I definitely think those are growing in popularity on the forums.
Also, I’m selfishly happy to see [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] not on the list!
I know, I was a little surprised by [name_f]Lila[/name_f] too, she made a last minute push into the top 25.
And I know, last year someone (I can’t remember who now?) was like “what did [name_f]Rose[/name_f] ever do to all of you?!” Because she dropped significantly. I’m here saying the same thing about [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] this year! Crazy how much changes in a year.
Yes, I was shocked by [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] too. This was such a weird year, at one point [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Kiara[/name_f], and I think like [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] or something was in the top 5? I was going through people’s lists like “who are you people, even”
Yes, sadly there are less and less responses each year. That’s partially why it took so long to post, usually I have a delineation for the top 5 where there’s no ties, but I wasn’t getting that because either styles have diversified or less people responded (I think both). I think last year I got about 75 responses and this year it was more like 60. [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] got 11 votes, if I remember right, but last year [name_m]August[/name_m] got 20! I don’t remember for girls but I think last year [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] had about 15 votes and [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] had about 11 this time, too. I feel like there’s less people on Nameberry though, so that could probably explain it as well.
I agree [name_f]Fern[/name_f] is growing, although I don’t think there was a ton of difference in Esme’s ranking.
I should be glad that [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] fell off but I was disappointed, haha! I was also sad that [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] didn’t get nearly as much love as previous years. Oh well. Nameberry needs to find some more name nerds so I get better data next year
Wow! for some reason, [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] as #1 is what surprises me the most?? I would have put it around 20-25 if I had to guess, but I do really adore [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] so I’m not mad
