Kinborough, Irmelin, Boaz, etcThe girls names got into really long lists, as you can see, so at the bottom, could be names that only one person really likes, which I think Irmelin and Kinborough both are. I think I was the one who was posting Kinborough, if I posted it 11 of the 12 months, it made the top 25 because of all the ties. I believe Irmelin is all one person as well, but I don't know who.Boaz is a similar story but there's at least two people posting it. I think Delphi_Blue posts it every months, so that's her 12 + 3 from someone else.

Yep that'd be me. It's been in my top 10 for years.12 of those Xanthe's are mine, and I think I'm solely responsible for Geneva. Sonnet's mostly me too, and Grover. Oh, and Zimri- this month was the first time it didn't make my Top 10. And Eirlys and Elodie and Alaia.Man I'm so predicatble. Sorry for being so boring, guys!

Has Boaz appeared in all of your top 10s? It's in the top 100 (ranks at 67, tied with Jonathan and Richard) of all time with 60, but 60/12 months = 5, which is how many years we've been doing this. If you posted it every month, you put it there by yourself :P

Actually, noI've just been going back over my data, and it wasn't in 7 of my Top 10's from 2008 (April-October plus January & Feburary). I stopped collating after April 2011, so will have to catch up to check the months since then, but at least 7 of those Boaz's weren't mine.60 Augusts and 60 Xanthes (consistantly number one for all five years) were definitely mine though, and Sylvie was appearing regularly back in 2008, so I was ahead of the times there ;)

Irmelin is all me! So is Mirjam and Ofelia, I think. And Saga and Tullia are mostly me as well ... :P
