I guess my kids have popular names. Dylan's was 19 the year she was born, but on the boy list. I couldn't find it on the girl list. Ava was 5. I knew that at the time but loved it so I chose it despite the popularity.

OK, I did it correctly that time. Dylan was 499 for girls the year she was born. Ava still 5.

Because there are many more names in the uncommon name group. Plus most people here at MDC are freaks.

My Numbers-
DS- 17
DD1-48
dd2-not in top 1000 for any year listed
dd3-888

All of them are rising in popularity (well except dd2 who is listed yet, but I'm sure it will be there in a year or two!)

lol both of my kids were not in the top 1000 for the last 9 years according to the link. I guess I escaped my mom's originality faux pas - Heather in 1973, ooh, I'll go look that up #8

I need multiple options.

Janelle- 482 in 2002, the year she was born, and 400 in 2007
Kincaid-not in the top 1000
Travis-169 in 2007 (he was born in 2007)
River (due next month)-561

So I voted 401+ since it's true 3/4ths of the time.
