DH and I never make the top 100. Oh well.

My middle child is number 7 on the boys list, Tyler. We never looked at a book to pick out names. With our first child we picked out Tristian for a boy and Cherish for a girl, Ended up with a Tristian and then just kept "T"s for the other two. Tyler and Tori. Tristian is an uncommon name but it would be kinda neat to have it on the top 100 list sometime :)

Cool. Just my immediate family, children and grandkidlettes, I have 1 girl and 7 boys on the lists. Thanks.

One of my daughters is #15 ~ Briana and my son is #31~ Austin. My youngest is Annabella, I guess thats not too popular.

well neither of my two kids are on there which surprises me cause when I named them they had not so popular names but then it became very popular. my son is dalton and my daughter is jayde (like jade) seems everywhere we go we hear a mother calling for either dalton or jade lol.

i remember hearing the name madison from the movie "Splash", in the 80's and always said i'd name my daughter that, and i did almost 11 years ago! :eek: She was the only one around for a long time. I owned a small business where i was able to take her to work with me, and many people asked her name, and just loved it, the next year many people would come into my business with their new baby named Madison, i was sooo mad! I was very original for a short time! Oh well, i guess they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.... :D

The next one that i'm having in a few months is #7, i guess if you cant beat 'em, join 'em!! :D

[sea-shell]

Wow - 2 out of my 3 boys are on there.
