The thread about [name]Nora[/name] and regional popularity got me thinking. Although [name]Isabella[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] are in the the top 10 in my state (MA), I actually know more baby and toddler Eleanors, Helens, Violets, and Rubys. And I know a million little Henrys on the boys’ side. I guess we live in Nameberryville. 
What are the names that you hear again and again in your area, and where are you?
YES [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] are very popular here ([name]Brooklyn[/name]). I have also heard [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Nora[/name], [name]Helena[/name], and a few [name]Isabella[/name]/Isabells, [name]Georgia[/name] and [name]Olive[/name]. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Georgia[/name], but I think it’s on the way up!
I live in [name]England[/name] and [name]George[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Ollie[/name]/[name]Oliver[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], and [name]Finn[/name] are quite popular amongst the boys and [name]Evie[/name], [name]Florence[/name], and [name]Eleanor[/name] are very popular girl names in my town.
I’m from the UK too and all I hear is [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Alfie[/name] for boys (or [name]Jayden[/name]/[name]Caden[/name]) and [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Lily[/name], [name]Ellie[/name] and [name]Isabella[/name] for girls!
I don’t hear a lot of repeats of the same name but I’ve heard [name]Addison[/name] quite a bit lately (not quite top 10 here, but it does sit at number 11, so close enough!), and oh, saints alive, [name]Autumn[/name]! I don’t know what it is with parents in Pennsylvania but I know TEN AUTUMNS. About half of them are newborns! I just don’t get it. I know one [name]Sophia[/name] (in the UK), one [name]Isabella[/name] (in the New Mexico area), no Avas, two Emmas (in PA), no little Emilys, one [name]Madison[/name] (in PA), I’ve met one [name]Olivia[/name] in passing (in PA), and I graduated with an [name]Abigail[/name]… I know no Mias and no little Elizabeths, but Autumns are rampant! I just don’t get it. It’s not even the whole sort of name that’s extremely well-loved on Nameberry like [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Daphne[/name], etc.
Likewise, I know twenty Elijahs/Alijahs/[name]Elis[/name]. No joke. Most of them are under the high school age bracket. I just don’t get the big appeal of [name]Elijah[/name] and [name]Autumn[/name] in Pennsylvania, and I don’t know how they could possibly NOT be top 10 names here!
I am in the US, Michigan, and we seem to love the trendy names. Addisons, Addalyns, Braedons, etc. I even saw gulp a [name]Jenesis[/name] in the birth announcements. Not even [name]Genesis[/name]- [name]Jenesis[/name].
Along with that I have noticed a fair share of Olivias, Emmas and Violets.
I live in St. [name]Louis[/name], [name]MO[/name] and I was shocked when I sent my son [name]Simon[/name] to kindergarten and there were 2 other [name]Simon[/name]'s also entering kindergarten! My daughter is [name]Vivian[/name] and I know a couple other kids with this name too.
For girls, [name]Alice[/name] rules among my friends and acquaintances. I was also suprised how many little Violets are running around. [name]Lucy[/name] is also surprisingly popular.
I am from [name]Canada[/name]. [name]Chloe[/name] and [name]Emma[/name], [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Jackson[/name] have been VERY popular for the last couple of years.
[name]Charlotte[/name] is huge around here (NYC suburbs) [name]Madeline[/name], [name]Ava[/name]/[name]Avery[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Lilly[/name]/[name]Lily[/name]/[name]Lillian[/name], and [name]ELLIE[/name]. God, I know about 10 little Ellies (I’m a teacher.) However, I also have more than one [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Melina[/name] and I actually have 3 little girls named [name]Tess[/name]!
I’m in [name]Ireland[/name] and while I don’t know any [name]Lucy[/name]'s my own age, I know plenty under the age of 5! I also know quite a few [name]Isabella[/name]'s. [name]Mia[/name], [name]Lily[/name], [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Katie[/name] are also extremely popular.
A name that’s recently “booming” here is [name]Tia[/name], which baffles me. I just don’t see the appeal.
My own two girls have what are considered to be very uncommon names. [name]Elena[/name] is the only [name]Elena[/name] in her whole school!
