Total number of responses = 149
Total number of names = (149 x 10) = 1490 - 1 = 1489
Total number of names per gender = (149 x 5) = 745 boys, 744 girls
* note: one poster was one girls name short, hence the difference
Btn's top names are William (16 votes) and Eleanor (13). This is with spellings not combined. With combined spellings, Eleanor ties with Catherine/Katharine/Katherine/Kathryn, which got 4/1/6/2 votes respectively, for a total of 13.
Thankyou everyone who formatted as requested, it was a big help. There's quite a few of you who can't count to 5 though ;) It retrospect, it would've been alot easier to not combine spellings, for simplicity when I was tallying and, as Chrisell pointed out, for comparison with the SSA list. You learn from your mistakes, I guess.
Here's the Top 10-ish lists, with spellings combined, but different spellings will be listed next to them so you can see which spelling got how many votes etc.
