Hello berries,
I know we usually love distinctive names, but I am pretty sure we all have favorites that are popular or familiar. So what are your 5 favorite girl names from the Top 1000?
Here is my top:
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Share[/name_f] yours!
P.S. Boys’ thread: Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums
I have no idea where I’d get a list of the top 1000 (particularly for my own country) but from the Top 100 of the official registry of most common baby names in my state (QLD) of Australia (2013) Eva, Sofia, Ivy, Maya and Willow are my favourites.
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], and [name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] ([name_u]Story[/name_u] is not in the top 1000 but [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] is)
Most of my top girl names are in the top 1000.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_f]Aya[/name_f].
By the way, here is a link for boys’ thread: Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums
Off the top of my head…
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
Yikes, this thread made me realize that currently, my entire girls’ top 10 is outside the top 1000! And here I thought my taste was getting more conservative.
Because I don’t usually rank all the names on my long list, I could only get it down to a top 6:
[name_f]Coraline[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
Here’s my favorites:
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Rachel[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Giselle[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Talia[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], [name_f]Estella[/name_f], [name_f]Thalia[/name_f], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
I’m not from the US, so I decided to use the name data from my country instead.
- [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
- [name_f]Clara[/name_f]
- [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
- [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
- [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] (or [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. I can’t decide.)
More than 5, but I can’t decide between them! So:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Alana[/name_f]
I also love [name_f]Zahra[/name_f], which is #957 according to NB
From the 2012 US Stats, I like…
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
This is from the top 1000 here in [name_f]England[/name_f] for 2012:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
And from the US:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
Probably. Maybe [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. Most of my favorites are in the top 1000, anyway, so I just picked the first five that were on my list that weren’t off the SSA list (which only ended up being one, that high up on my list–[name_f]Arianne[/name_f]. I think there’s four names on my girls’ list not on the SSA list–[name_f]Arianne[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], and [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f].).
I think like 70% of my list is within the top 1000 in [name_f]England[/name_f]/[name_m]Wales[/name_m] (probably, I don’t know exactly)…
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f]
[name_f]Eilidh[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_u]Billie[/name_u]
I don’t really know the US stats well at all, but I’d guess these feature…
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Estella[/name_f]
[name_u]Brooke[/name_u]
I wish they did the Top 1000 in my country, we only have a top 20. 
Good choices, ladies!
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_u]Sydney[/name_u]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Thalia[/name_f]
I haven’t really updated my listings numbers in a since the 2011 stats but I assume they won’t have changed that drastically. A number of my favorites didn’t make it into the top 1000.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f], [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Ofelia[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Simone[/name_f]
[name_f]Carolina[/name_f]
[name_f]Amara[/name_f]
I hope you don’t mind if I add more than 5.
