Top Girl Names 2011

I have loved the name Violet for a long time, so it’s both satisfying and upsetting to see it at #3 (what can I say? I’m selfish about my names!)

I am very not surprised about the unisex-for-girls jump. I personally tend towards unisex/masculine names for girls and classic names for boys, so I’m excited to see the ‘Berry take on boys’ names. As for this list, I definitely see Nameberry as a British-invasion type of site. Let’s face it: the top names in the UK are far more attractive than the top names on the SSA website. I think Berries have more of a…refined palette

Can’t wait to check out the boys’ list, and thanks for letting us know! Things like this appeal to my curiosity :3

Daphne

Sydney

What lovely names in the Top 100 List. Thanks for compiling the list; I enjoyed reading it! I especially love Charlotte, Isla, Maeve, Genevieve, Elodie, Emmeline, Juliet, and Fiona, and really like Alice, Eloise, Adeline, Gemma, Lydia, Cecilia, and others. I’m going to go with a wild guess and say that one of my favorites, Felicity, is #101…

I too was surprised at Daphne’s absence from this list! Nice set though.

In case that wasn’t clear, my vote goes to Daphne.

Annabelle/Annabel

I love the majority of this list. My vote goes to Behati for girls,it always seems to be a frequent search item.

My guess for #101 is Lorelei

My vote goes to Harper.

#101 Philippa ?

i was thinking as i read the list: No Daphne? i’ll vote for that as 101.

So much fun reading this list… if i only that was the top 100 SSA! Tho, then all of my choices would be far too popular.

SO glad it’s not the Top 100 SSA, then all my favourite names would be too popular! In fact, I’m going to be different here (everyone seems to think Daphne thus far) and say that Helena is probably 101.

I’m always so disappointed that I never see my name, Isabel, on there!:( I’m going to say that Isabel is Number 101.

I love theNameberry top 100! My favorites are: Josephine (duh) , Cecilyy, Cecilia & Penelope. My guess for 101? Phoebe!

Help! I’m due in 3 weeks and we are between Maeve and Fiona. We love both and are picking mainly based on (un) popularity right now…. Even though it’s only 536 on SSA, do we think Maeve is really going to climb the charts?? I understand how this list is calculated but I need more definitive advice please! Or else we may go back to Mairead, a name we love but no one can pronounce!

I guess Dorothy. That’s one that I searched for our 2011 baby.

Maybe…Felicity?

This is incredibly hard. I’m torn between several different options. Since Daphne has already been guessed, I think I’m going to go with Sylvie/Sylvia.

Catherine is my guess for #101.

Harper is my guess!

Eloise

I will guess Persephone!

I’m going with Elena for #101. Just found out we’re having a girl and I’m feeling like that might be her name.

#101 Agnes?

I’m gonna have to say my #101 guess is… Addison, but if I’m allowed to make more than one guess, my second would be Giselle.

#101-Isobel

Mmmm…I think it may be something a little off the wall, so I’ll go with

Winter

My guess is Viola.

#101 Blythe?

My guess is Harper.

Those of you who’ve guessed Harper (or any other unisex name) — guess again as we’re doing a separate Unisex Popularity List this year, which we’ll publish on Thursday. And yes, spoiler alert: Harper’s on it.

Anyway, you get a free second guess for girls. And those of you who haven’t guessed yet, don’t pick a unisex name, defined as one that has both a girls’ and a boys’ definition on Nameberry!

I’m debating Helen and Mary…

I see someone has already guessed Helena, so my guess is:

Mary

My guess is Philipa

I’ve already guessed… but will somebody guess Daisy? Most of my other favorites have already been guessed, but I think that Daisy has a chance of being on the list

#101 – Genevieve

Annabel.

Does anyone think ifwe chose a name on this list then the behbehs are doomed to have albeit nice, but too common name? A few of my faves are it.

#101 Harper

cant decide between Annabel or Florence but i think i’ll go with Annabel!

I’m going to guess Jemima is the 101 name.

Mary

So unisex names are on a seperate list, yet I see Evelyn, Hadley, Harlow, Vivian, Piper and Wren on this list.

Unlike most people, I prefer classic names for girls, and modern and gender neutral names for boys. I like to be different and against the trends.

My (second) guess is Athena.

#101…Honor? Some gorgeous choices here.

I’m guessing Florence.

My guess….Helena

I guess Harper – surprised it didn’t make the list, even though it isn’t of quite the same style as most Berry favourites. Or what was that bizarre name which was big in the cloud for a week or so? Elixyvett? No, I guess Harper!

Lauren

Harlow and Wren are not listed as girls’ names in he nameberry database (a clarification made in the comments section)and the others, I assume, are so feminine in the US nowadays that they either do not register as boys’ names in the SS top 1000 or perhaps they were not searched as boys names enough on this site to warrant considering them masculine (just my thoughts for possible explanation).

My guess for # 101 is Harper

Sorry. I meant Harlow and Wren aren’t listed as BOYS’ names in the database.

my guess is Candace.

Hmmm Rosalie

Thanks for publishing this list! It’s very interesting to see how different it is from actual name usage. How many years have you been keeping your list? How well has it predicted which names will actually rise in popularity? Also, if a name is high on the Nameberry list but not on the SSA list, how many years do you think it will take for its actual usage to rise?

I’ll guess Eve for 101.

101. Celia…?

There are some great guesses, but I’ll guess JEMIMAH to add another guess!

101. Isabel or Isabelle

I’m going to guess Zara.

I’ll say Persephone for #101.

I was shocked that Milena was missing. I’ve been seeing on several people’s list as a full name to Mila (#57). So my guess goes to Milena.

My guess is Margot

Well, since Pam posted and said I could have another guess since I guessed Addison, which is a uni-sex name. My two guesses now would still be Gisele/Giselle & Hermione!

Adel

I meant Adele. My phone posted too fast.

Lovely list. I like most of them!

I think Florence, as more people may search it because of Florence and the Machine. That’s my guess.

Eileen

Susannah for #101? It seems to have been mentioned a lot lately.

Evie

#101, torn between Daphne or Hattie. I think I’m going with Daphne, though.

I’m thinking Harriet is #101. Going with my gut!

Marlo

My guess for #101 is Flora! I prefer it so much to Florence…

Sarah. Anna and Hannah are still on the list–why not Sarah?

Luciana

Abigail

Agatha

I’m going to go with Mina even though I don’t see it that often. I see Mia on the list but not Mina I think.

Juno???

Unfortunately some of my favorite names are up there.

Only because I wish it were so, I’m going with Frances.

Daisy

Coralie

my vote is for Yvaine!!

I’m going to guess Renesmee!

Juniper

I am going to guess Mirabel. Although I think the already mentioned Hattie and Winter have a good chance too.

I love the names on this list. Where else can you find Caroline and Josephine along with Willow and Harlow? A great mix of old and new.

101. Feliciy

101. Felicity

#101 I think may be Vanessa. I hope I’m right!

Didn’t realize the top 100 was names that are searched the most on the name Berry site. Does that mean I need to change my vote? If i can, I vote Jacqueline!

Well, since my first daughter’s name is #91, I have to go with our possible pick for daughter number 2 for #101. That would be Magnolia.

Beatrice?

So many great names on this list, and so many great guesses already – in particular, I could see Daphne, Adele, Zara, Rosalie, or Agnes being #101. However, the one I had the check three times just to make sure it wasn’t on this list was (and, yes, this is my guess)…

RAMONA!

My guess is Tillie.

I am to guess Agnes.

My guess is Liliana

This is my niece’s name <3

If it’s not too late I’m going to guess my current favorite for baby #3: June.
