Favorite Baby Names: Your Personal Top 10?

Popular baby names are the Number 1 topic of the week, but today we thought we’d turn the tables and ask instead about favorite baby names. What are your personal Top 10 names for each gender?

The criteria: Those you love best, period. Put them in order, with Number 1 your very favorite on down. Or hey, if that’s too hard, just give us your ten best in any particular order.

And if you can’t come up with ten for each gender, then list as many as you can think of!

Whether or not your personal favorite baby names are favorites with anybody else doesn’t matter. But if you’d like to add commentary on how popularity or family or your personal history factors into your decision, it would be very welcome.
