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
CaitlinMadelyn - hopefully, ugly spelling
Jessica - it's about time
Brian and
Bryan - so dated
Aidan - why? this is the best spelling
Which 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 - yup
Bentley - definitely
Nolan and
Micah - possibly
Names 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
PenelopeEvangelineColton - 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 - ugh
Names 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 quickly
Christopher - so overused
Seth - even though I don't know why, fits in with the underused biblical trend
Any 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.
