I would be Eva Lila, or if I were a boy, Zachary Oscar. Eva and Lila are both pretty but too rhymey for a combo.

Alexa Gwendolyn

---

Or Alexa Justice. Justice and Gwendolyn are tied.

---

It's not terrible but I prefer my original name.

---

My SO would be Nolan Connor, which is hilarious because we just discussing the name Nolan last night. Probably my favorite of all of these.

---

My family would be:
Alexander (MN has never charted)
Raelynn Ashley - oh dear

---

Alexa Gwendolyn
Madison Jada or Madison Kathryn - My sister goes by a nickname that is used as a first name as well, doing that name would make her Kiara.
Carter Landon - not too bad actually. Definitely trendy, but sounds pretty good.

---

It's interesting that we all have fairly classic names but the 2014 rank equivalents are rather trendy.

---

For fun, grandparents too.
Liam Griffin
Michael Jayden - not the dreaded Jayden! haha
Mia Zoey
Emma Alayna or Emma Amaya - unsure of the spelling

Addison Norah

---

Mine would be Addison Norah. I like Addison but Norah isn't my cup of tea. :)

Alannah Kayla

---

Margarida is peculiar in that its English-language cognates can be either Margaret or Daisy. I looked up options for both.

---

In 1990 Helena was #946, Margaret was #102 and Daisy was #193.

---

2014: Alannah Kayla / Alannah Harmony
2013: Giada Molly / Giada Hayden
2012: Karlie Brooke / Karlie Daniela
2011: Jewel Rylee / Jewel Ryleigh (... seriously, what are the odds?)
2010: Thalia Rylee / Thalia Catherine
2009: Aiyanna Mary / Aiyanna Delilah
2008: Naima Mya / Naima Delilah
2007: Jaclyn Mya / Jaclyn Alina
2006: Cloe Amanda / Cloe Delaney
2005: Shreya Danielle / Shreya Caitlin
2004: Miah Katie / Miah Veronica
2003: Delia Gabriela / Delia Mckenna

Lucille Jazmine

Harper Paisley

---

I'm using US data since I can't find the data for Germany.

---

My real name is Samantha Maria. In 1987 Samantha was ranked 11th and Maria was ranked 53rd.

---

I definitely prefer my actual name. Harper Paisley is horrible :-(

Emma Alexia

---

My real name is Jessica-Kate. I don't particularly like Emma Alexia, it feels more 'popular' than Jessica-Kate ever did =P

I'd be Lucy Lauren!

---

I'd be delighted to be a Lucy, but Lauren, not so much! Lucy Laura is too alliterative for real life, but fun to think about.

Olivia Abigail. Not bad!

Scarlett Leia

---

I'm surprised by the result but I like it! Scarlett Leia ...nice! It's giving me ideas now, lol.

---

My birth name is Jasmine Janee; I chose the alternate spelling of my mn since my spelling wasn't on the list.

I got Eden Molly.

---

I like Eden. I don't like Molly.

---

Maya Harper

---

No, I do not like it.

Brandon was 19th in popularity in 1981. The current nineteenth is Lucas. It is okay -- I like the German spelling Lukas a bit more.

---

My middle name is Bijan, which has never scored on popularity charts, to my knowledge.

Briley Emerson :(

---

My 1989 name = Tawnee (using Tawny which was #858 in 1989) Marie (#196)

---

My 2014 name = Briley Emerson

---

Ew, I much prefer my original name too. lol

---

ETA:

---

Male 1989 version of me would have been Broderick Roger. Haha, no thanks.

---

Male 2014 version of me would be Steve Nicolas. It's a little better but still blah. XD

My family would be:

---

Mom: Lily Vivian (nice!)
Me: Alexa Emily - I don't like it.
Brother: Isaac (middle name didn't chart)
Grandma: Emma "Isabella" Madison
Great-grandma: Alexa Sofia

---

...and that's all the family members whose years of birth I know.

---

Just for fun, my name in each decade (from birth year 1983) for a century...

---

1973: Barbara Angela
1963: Janice Patricia
1953: Katherine Debra
1943: Jo Judith!
1933: Juanita Margaret (Juanita has really been growing on me)
1923: Agnes Virginia
1913: Minnie Anna
1903: Virginia Marie
1893: Stella Florence - and here we are back in the swing of fashion once again. Fascinating! I like this one best.
1883: Lizzie Bertha. Dang, I wouldn't mess with me. I also like this one, it's got chutzpah. It wouldn't look out of place as the name on a B52 or a bicep tattoo.

---

My grandma's names are also fun to do because they are soo typical for her generation that each incarnation is like the epitome of the age. They also sound like Catholic schoolgirl sisters who eventually turn into blonde valley girls who trade in their crimpers and tube socks to settle down in the suburbs:

---

1897: Mary Margaret Florence

Jordan Olivia to Riley Charlotte. I honestly find the combination absolutely horrid.

Madyson Layne ---> Madison Lane

---

But Lane is only on the boys list.

---

Gia Hank ;)
Or
Gia Frances, which is quite lovely, though Gia has always felt like too much of a NN to me.

Liliana Gabriela would be my name.

---

Can't say I am a huge fan, though I do like Lillian and Gabrielle.

Penelope Angel

---

Can't find UK data for 1989, so I'm using the US data.

---

Hannah (#41) Ruth (#275) -> Penelope Angel

---

Penelope isn't bad, but Angel is horrible.

Well, my names have ever charted in the US, but if I get to translate it to Madelyn Caroline, I would be Martha Aurora this year, which is very nice. But really, Madeline Carolina is closer, so I guess I'm Adelyn Madilyn ...

---

If I use the Swedish top lists, I'm Maja Isabella.

I don't have a middle name, so combining the two ratings of my name from the usa and uk. So it would be Greta Stella which is so different from my actual name, I don't mind it, not that bad, Greta is a nice name and I like Stella, but I am happy with own name.

mine and hubbys

Rebecca Simone & David Matthew

Australia 2014: Lucy (nothing) & Noah James

Violet Amber

---

I love Violet, but Violet Amber sounds like it's describing purple tree resin. And I really dislike Amber anyway. I think I'll stick with my real name.

~~clutches pearls~~

---

Makayla Emilia.

---

I love Emilia, but Makayla? That's got to be some karma on me. Not even Michaela. I could get into Michaela.

---

Ann was # 60 in 1964 and Marie was # 110. That's right. My parents gave me everyone else's middle names. :0P

Apparently this year I'm Hispanic! :)

---

My family would be:
husband: Joseph Alex
son: Joshua Dylan - I kinda like this, even though I dislike Dylan
daughter: Valerie Bethlehem - her mn wasn't ranked the year she was born, so I found there were 13 of them born and then just picked my favorite name from the list of 13 births from last year. :)

I much prefer my "boring" and traditional real name. My SO would be Peyton George, which is not my cup of tea either.

This message was edited 5/11/2015, 12:41 PM

Mine is Lily Sofia. I don't exactly like it, but I don't think it is bad.

My full first name doesn't rank in the top #1000, so I'll use my nn which is the first half of my name. I'd be Aaliyah Annabelle, ugh, I don't like either name. My boys name would be Levi Nicholas, which I think is a bit nicer and it flows well.

Elizabeth Nora Ivy

---

Wouldn't use Elizabeth, but it's a good enough combo. :)

---

1992: Nicole Anna Felicia (the year I was born)
1993: Rachel Erica Bailey

Noa Madison

---

Eurgh that's awful!

I had to use a spelling variant for my middle name but in the year I was born my first and middle names ranked 498 and 148 respectively. My name in 2014 would be Elisa Amy (which is funny because Aimee is my first name).

My first name is Swedish of German origin and there is no English version. My middle name is English, but wasn't on the top 1000 the year I was born.

---

My brother would be Max Jayden. I had to use the English version of his middle name (Anders - Andrew)

Gracie. My MN is my mother's maiden name.

My first name didn't rank in the US for the year I was born so I looked at the UK stats (where I'm from) and it was #140.
Back in the US my middle name ranked #44.

---

So in 2014 I would be...

---

Lyla Claire

---

Not bad... Not bad at all actually but I do prefer Millie Mary :-)

Lydia Victoria

---

Chelsea Laura at 84 and 19 from 1984 becomes Lydia Victoria in 2014. I think it's quite pretty except I absolutely loathe the name Lydia. It's the only name in the world that I truly hate because of a negative association. Oh well!

My husband would go from Jason Lee to Liam Greyson. I don't like the combination at all but I like the names ok separately.

---

Here are his since his birth starting with the year after he was born (which happened to be identical).

Jason Lee
Christopher Martin
Christopher Andre

My full name is Sofia Maria. In the year i was born (1987) Sofia ranked #238 and Maria #53. So my new name would be...Miranda Paisley. I like Miranda, Paisley not soo much.

Eden Laila

---

is an okay combo imo. Boy-me would've been Ryker Preston which I would not be happy with. My parents have told me what my twin sister's name would have been if there was one, and in 2014 she would've been Annabelle Paulina.

---

My brother would be Brady Jett, my mom would be Zoe Valentina (heck yeeah), and my dad would be Ryder Liam.

Liesel Alayna

---

My birth year was also '92. My first name Lia was not in the top 1000, but my middle name Ellen was at 217.
My new middle name would be Alayna which I think is very pretty though I prefer it spelt Alaina.
For my first name I've just pick any name I like that is not in the top 1000, so I chose Liesel.
I really like this combo, but as I mentioned before I would use Alaina instead of Alayna.

This message was edited 5/11/2015, 10:00 AM

Megan was #12 in 1988, and Michele #206. So I'd be... Sofia Cecilia. Not bad. I don't really like double A endings, but I like both names.

---

As for my family members....

---

Parents:

---

Paul (my dad didn't have a middle name)
Emma Claire

---

Siblings:

---

Romeo Daniel
Jayden David
Claire Emmalee (my sister's full first name - Mary Jo - doesn't chart for the year she was born, so I just used Mary)
Wyatt Grayson

---

...yikes. All of my siblings' names are. Bad.

---

ETA: If I had been a boy, I would've been Benjamin Maverick. Maverick's a little much, but the combo is fine.

This message was edited 5/11/2015, 9:41 AM

Here's mine

---

My name (in English) is Maximilian Matthias (519th and 1193rd). My middle name is not in the top 1000 but still...
That means my 2014 name would be: Ricky McCoy (weird...)

---

Some of my family:
Anna (mum) -> Melanie
Marcin (Martin) (dad) -> Ezra
Marcin Cyprian (Martin Cyprian) (brother) -> Victor Bairon (that's also weird...)

---

Some of my friends:
Aaron Christopher -> Ryan William
Izabella -> Aribella (similar but not so similar)
Lydia -> Angelina

---

I don't know the middle names for Izzy and Lydia.

My first name (Moira) didn't enter the list the year I was born, but it was #983 in 1968, the last year it entered the list. My middle name Maria was #39 in my birth year, #983 and #39 today would be...

---

Aya/Ireland/Mercedes/Rosalyn Savannah

---

There is no #983, but these are the four #982s, so I'll go with those. I dislike Savannah and Mercedes. Rosalyn and Aya are alright, I wouldn't be too bothered with those. Ireland, I have to admit, is a guilty pleasure of mine. I think it'd also suit me better than the other three. And it would still make my first name "Irish", haha.

1994: Elizabeth Jane
2014: Madison Aylin

---

Ugh, I hate what it would be in 2014.

---

Admittedly, my parents also considered naming me Laura Elizabeth, which in 2014 would translate to Sadie Madison...a bit better than Madison Aylin, but still not great.

---

Also, I was actually born Jane Elizabeth (but stayed that only for a few hours) - in which case I'd be Aylin Madison. How ugly!

Oh God. I'm about to get an American name... Hehee!

---

Nia Caitlin: Nia is 310, and Caitlin is 89 (in 2001). My new name is Rosalie Madeline. Well, it could have been a lot worse! Though I'd have preferred Rosalie Madeleine. If I was a boy, I'd have been Dominick Bentley. Ew. They could have at least spelt Dominic'k' without the 'k'! And Bentley... I have no words.

Finley Sofia.

---

Blech. Sofia is nice, though.

---

Hubby would be Caleb Nicholas, how classic.

Esther #288 Caroline #164 in 1985 would be:

---

Nadia Emilia in 2014

---

Hmmm... not as bad as it could be. I hate Nadia, but I go by Caroline, so I'll say I'd go by Emilia, which is fine. Both names are strangely similar in style to my actual names.

Mine would be Gracie Milena

Paul Benjamin (49, 33 - 1990) = Eli Henry (2014)

---

ETA: By the same statistics, if I had been born female in 1990, my name would have been Cassandra Victoria; if I had been born female in 2014, my name would have been Nora Samantha.

This message was edited 5/11/2015, 8:55 AM

Jade Diana becomes Adeline Vivian

Jessica Jane in 1991 (2, 363) turns into Olivia Macy in 2014. Olivia Macy is a beautiful name, but I'm definitely more of a Jessica.

Olivia Madison. I'll always like Olivia (even if the popularity of it is pretty tired by this point), but Madison is very much not my style. The combo as a whole isn't terrible, at least. I definitely prefer my regular name, though. :p

My middle names are surnames so I'll do FN and Confirmation name just for kicks. That makes me Anna Maria.
That makes my 2014 name Sadie Aaliyah. I dislike the combination and I am not a huge fan of either name.

This message was edited 5/11/2015, 6:33 AM

Sophia Genisis. Do not like this name combo. Sophia is fine but it doesn't go very well with Genesis. I prefer my real name over this name.

This message was edited 5/11/2015, 6:39 AM

My 2014 name would be Sophia Riley. Nothing bad about it... but I feel like it's just as common(boring, imo) as my real name.

1996: Ashley Michelle

1998: Samantha Gabrielle
1999: Alexis Brooke
2000: Madison Amber

Adrianna and Teagan both had the same number of births (252/253)
Athena 195

---

Adrianna Athena or Teagan Athena.

---

I prefer my own name.

Haha, mine is the same! I used 2013 instead because the 2014 rankings aren't available using the England and Wales statistics and Emily is ranked #3, the same as when I was born. I've always liked it, I know it's popular in a lot of places but I was still the only Emily in all my classes. I don't have a middle name.

This message was edited 5/11/2015, 5:02 AM

My 2014 name is Madeline Jacqueline. It's different. I like Madeline. Not so much Jacqueline.

Camila Zoey. Not bad except they are both spelling abominations. But appropriate in that my mother's name was Zoe!

Problem is...

---

Both my first name & my middle name are Polish and they don't even rank in the top 1000. Should I just find the ranking for the English versions of it (because my names are used in many languages)?
