Be Popular (or Not)
I think you guys will find this interesting... yesterday the Social Security Administration released a report on popular baby names for 2005. This webpage also has information for the following categories:

Top 10 Names for 2005
Popular Names by Birth Year
Popularity of a Name
Top 5 Names by State
Top 1000 Names by Decade
Popular Names of Twins

Check it out at www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/babynames/

Another favorite baby name site of mine is http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html

Inspired by the birth of Melissa & Mike's daughter Marina on 5/10/06 in Madison, WI.
(Second choice names were Maren or Ella.)

Do you have any names that you like? I always seem to start liking a name when I think it's different, but really it's when it's just starting to become popular. Like Isabel - I loved that after seeing Stepmom. Now years later, Isabella is on the top 10.

That baby name wizard is very cool. It is just what I need to look over and help me decide on a name. Thanks for pointing it out!

that's interesting- I have had Olivia's name picked out for years and years. I did look at some name books but her name always stuck with me and as soon as we knew we had a girl we decided she would be Olivia.

I tend to like traditional names

Great link, thanks! I'm having a tough time, I am pretty picky. My husband has NO opinion what so ever, isn't that weird? He totally doesn't care about the name.
