HelpRe: BTN's Top Names for 2012
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
Wow, I really appreciate all the time and work you've put into these lists. Thank you!
I'm pretty happy to see Iris in the top. Iris has been growing on me lately and it kind of fits with my other names. I tend to like vowel heavy names, whether it's the spelling or the sound. I do however pronounce Iris like ee-ris and not eye-ris. Actually, my top 3 girl names are all in the top 25.
I much prefer Theodore to Henry. Henry is a bit dull to be honest. My top 2 for boys are also in the top 25. Too bad people haven't realised the greatness of Emmanuel yet.
In the past some newcomers have accused the board of being eccentric or rejecting 'normal' names but looking at the lists I think it's pretty obvious that our name taste is pretty conservative. Sophisticated is a word that comes to mind when I see them.
