my two aren't on there and i doubt they ever will be.
funny enough though, if they had been girls there are quite a few names we liked that are on the list.
My DD isn't on there, which I'm quite happy about. But I do have a feeling it may be creeping up, I'm hearing it more than I used to. We have 16 bubs in our mother's group (I think!) and only two have names on the list - there's a Matilda and an Ella.
We are in SA though, I wonder how different the lists are between states?
Nup, neither of my boys' names are on there! The funny thing is that when I tell people what DS2's name is they immediately say, oh is he named after someone?
5, 6 & 7 on the boys list are names 2 of my sons have. In fact Noah is 5 & Thomas is 6 and my son is Noah Thomas. I was surprised that my DS2's name isn't on there. None of my girls names are on the list either. I wonder if it would be different in NSW though?
When we picked dd2s name to be Chloe I thought it was an uncommon name lol. Not unusual or unique but just hadn't heard anyone by that name in a long time itms. Wrong! Lol. Oh well I still love it. I'm surprised Madison isn't on there, that was initially meant to be her name but I knew of heaps born and didn't want her to have too common of a name.....
DDs name is on the list but DSs isn't though it becoming very popular. I don't care about any lists - I chose names that I loved not due to popular / unpopular.
I love seeing these lists. I wish they would release more of the "unpopular" names though. The US puts out the top 1000. The ones down the bottom are the best ones to look at
Funnily enough, DS's name isn't on the list but he's the only kid in his kindy class who's name is doubled up. & I know of about 3 or 4 kids with his name now. Before he was born I only knew of 1.
Not surprised my 2 aren't on the list. It's quite easy to choose names that aren't common but are also spelt correctly and aren't the name of a car or brand of beer (I saw Audi and Toohey on the least common list).
