Some surprises...
in reply to a message by Kimberly
I thought Grace would move into the Top 10 this year, but it moved down.
Mia took a decent sized jump.
I am astonished that Charlotte didn't move up all that much! Only 10 places. I thought it would definitely make the Top 100.
Valerie jumped 40 places!
Not surprised that Nevaeh scooted up 30 places. How depressing.
I think I find it more depressing that Aiden is more popular than Aidan.
I am surprised Thomas has dropped...I thought it was more popular than it is.
I would like to know what the new entries to the list are. Is there any way of finding out?

Ditto on Aiden v. Aidan. I wonder why that is?
new entries...
Welll...there is excel, alphabetise the names and see what doesn't fit, which is prone to error but interesting for a rough guide to the new names.

Glad to see Beatrice, Betsy, Dahlia and Sheila back...Neveah has to be the nadir, followed by the *inleys. I noticed that many of the Hayley and Katelyn variants disappeared. That's quite enough for one lunch time, thought!

The 2005 list is still right there on the site, so all you have to do is compare to discover this yourself. :)

It's a rather roundabout way of finding out, but I suspect Laura Wattenberg will have a post on her blog next week about the list in detail, and there's a pretty good chance she'll talk about what's new. :)
This week, though: http://thebabynamewizard.ivillage.com/parenting/archives/2007/05/the_official_top_names_of_2006.html
And I agree with the first commenter on the jump that Addison made. That's insanity, right there. :D
