Your Top 25

[ashthedreamer]

I decided to take @blade up on her proposition to add up all the Nameberry favorites. It took a while, but I thought the results were interesting. I definitely expected some names to be much higher up, and others to be much lower! So here's the Nameberry boys' "top 1000" (well, technically, only 579, so far). As people continue to post their top 25s, I'll update and repost, if anyone's interested. And you can see where your favorites all rank according to Nameberry. I might find the girls' thread and do it, too, but since I didn't start that thread, the idea didn't occur to me until now.

Without further ado... (sorry, it's a bit of a doozy!):

Ashley, that was fascinating. Just fascinating. I can only imagine how long it took to compile, but thank you so much for doing it.

Suggestion so it doesn't get buried-- edit your first post on the thread and insert the rankings.

It took a while! It was something semi-mindless to do while catching up on TV, though, so I didn't really mind.

That's a good idea, that way I can just update it as people keep posting their top 25s.

Love this! Do you have a link to the girls' top 25 post? I'm curious to see what's on there.

25 was tough for me, I probably only LOVE the first half or so.

@labelo, no, I don't, sorry. Someone else posted the girls' one and I decided to make a boys' one since she didn't. I'm sure if you go back a couple pages on the girls forum you'd be able to find it, though.
