Re: SSA list coming out this friday - your predictions
in reply to a message by Lily
Mine:Which names left the top 100 in 2011? Rachel - it needs a good rest
Valeria - I hope, really dislike this
Kaitlyn - this needs a loooong break and I still can't believe this is more common than Caitlin
Madelyn - hopefully, ugly spelling
Jessica - it's about timeBrian and Bryan - so dated
Aidan - why? this is the best spellingWhich names entered the top 100 in 2011?Harper - has been on the rise for years
Annabelle - but I really hope it doesn't
Scarlett - Scarlett Johannsson really helped this name become popular
Jordyn - ugh and I'll never understand why
Ellie - already in the top 100 in many states
Lilly - ugh hate this spelling, Lily and Lillie look more balanced
London - yupBentley - definitely
Nolan and Micah - possiblyNames that were rising quickly in 2011?Quinn - unfortunatley because I love it. Glee's fault, I guess.
Lucy - close to Lily and fits right in with current trends
Serenity and Cadence - people seem to love these right now
Ainsley and Hadley - kind of sad because I like them
ugly spellings such as Jordyn, Zooey, Zoey and Khloe or even Kloe, Cloe and Kloey
Penelope
EvangelineColton - seems to be stylish right now
Mason - yep
Levi, Eli, Josiah, Jonah, Asher, Elijah - in general many biblical names that aren't overused (yet)
Grayson - definitely
Bryson - ughNames that lost much of their popularity?Madeline - the whole Madeline, Madison, Maddy trend seems to slowly come to an end. I hope that Madelyn will leave the top 100 and that Madeline will fall. I like Madeline and it needs a rest.
Emma, Emily and Madison - I think people are sick of them by now. They will fall slowly, though.
Ashley, Jessica, Kimberly - go away already! Especially Kimberly, it's about time. I mean I really love Ashley but all these names need a break.
Catherine, Katherine, Kathryn, Elizabeth, Sarah, Anna, Julia - the good old classics, some of them in the top 100 for ages seem to be falling out of favor, especially Catherine and variants. Elizabeth will fall very very slowly, though. The others quicker.
Miley - seems to have fallen out of favor quicklyChristopher - so overused
Seth - even though I don't know why, fits in with the underused biblical trendAny new names that entered the top 1000?Hmmm I'm surprised Robin isn't in the top 1000 anymore. Nature names are in style now. But I guess it's still too dated. Emmeline maybe? Seraphine or Seraphina. Zooey, because of Deschanel. Maybe Primrose or Cato but probably more likely this year, after the release of the movie. Bernadette (Big Bang Theory) and possibly Estella.I think everyone will expect Ruby and Violet to rise but I think they actually won't. Can't say why, just a feeling.

Harper was a celebrity baby name this year -- I think it'll definitely see a boost as a result.I'm surprised Emily has stayed popular for so long. I have friends with the name in their twenties!
