My son’s name is #101 on the SSA list. Wouldn’t it be funny if it’s in the same position on nameberry

I’ll say #101 is Vincent

Nice to see people haven’t given up on Riley, Peyton, Finley, Rory or Emerson for their boys.

oops I skipped over it in the list! I guess Otis if I get another chance. But I know I might not.

So many of these are on my list..My favs include Eli, Silas, Max etc etc.. I would have to guess that 101 is Malachi

Edmond/Edmund for 101?

Matthew for 101?

Thaddeus for #101?

101: Mason

Cyrus – 101

I guess Grant for #101.

#101 Harry?

Is 101 Stellan?

101- Giovanni?

Samson?

101: Maddox?

101: Josiah?

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I stopped the first one from posting. Lame. I didn’t mean to double post. I was gonna say Maddox, but as soon as I hit the “post reply” button, I stopped it and changed it to Josiah ’cause that popped in my head. I want Josiah to be my official guess…if possible.

George for #101

I’m going to say good old fashioned Michael as #101

Is #101 Otto?

We have a winner! Maisie29, c’mon down. Cyrus is our #101 name. Please email me at pam@nameberry.com to claim your book.

For the rest of you, I was just about to ask what your top three favorites on this list are? No prize, but I”d love to know!

Pam, my top three favorites are Gideon, Jonah & Leo in that order.

My other favorites:

Milo, Asher, Jude, Eli, Dexter, Henry, Emmett, Silas, Ezra, Elliot, Callum, Arthur, Roman, Dexter & Soren.

Now I’m off to leave a comment about my top three girls.

August, Theodore, Hugo

Sebastian, Luke and Eli are my top three favorites.

I also like: Benjamin, Hugo, elijah, samuel, August, roman, dexter, gideon, mason, nico, atticus, Malcolm, rhys, Ezra, henry, Hudson, ethan, Charles, jasper, Alexander, milo, ryder, felix, owen and Theodore.

Miles (Milo) and Felix are my top two boys names.

I am so glad berry tastes does not dictate whats actually popular, because I adore this list!

Top three favs are: Theodore, Theo, and Emmett BUT if I don’t include my son’s name and nickname (son is Theodore Adler Emmett) my favs are Dashiell, Oscar, and Felix

Jasper
Kieran
Jonah

James, Rory, and Arthur

Do you guys track where in the world the hits are coming from?

Top 3 are

Ezra
Beckett
Gideon

I do like a lot of these and have trouble picking just three, but I’ll go with Rufus, Felix, and Nathaniel.

Top 3 are definitely August, Callum and Dexter!

Top three would be Alexander, Jack, and Owen

maple_blythe, there is definitely a way to track geographic sources for each name as well as overall (Nameberry is about two-thirds US, 10 percent each British and Canadian, and 5 percent Australian, with the rest divided up around the world). But getting the breakdown for every name on this list would be a tremendous amount of work — though interesting!

Three faves on the list: Hugo, Sebastian and Theodore.

Sad to see Oscar so high up there!

Alexander, Luka, and Matthew (classics)

Atticus, Beckett & Mathias are my top three at the moment followed closely by Leopold and Everett

Finn. My son’s middle name.

My guess for #101 is Bruno

My guess for 101 is Camden

My favorites are Jonah, Levi, and Roman

Top 3 are Jasper, Jude and Grey.

What a fantastic list! My top three are Henry, Theodore and Gabriel.

My top choices from this list are Phineas and Soren. I’m sure I contributed to putting them up there.

Ruolan, you may have contributed, but the names on this list each had thousands of views, so no individual can skew the results!

Thanks for the breakdown on the numbers! The boys’ list seems a lot more American (and sort of pan-European), the girls’ list more British. It made me wonder.

…although, how much work would it take to put a widget on each name page, showing where the traffic is coming from? I’m imagining something like the old-school google trends barchart (though their new map is really cool…too much?!).

Top 5:

1 – Finley
2 – Riley
3 – Kai
4 – Peyton
5 – Rory

Finn, Huck & Sawyer
