Re: BTN's Top Names for 2012
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
Wow, lots of work you did. Interesting.
I hear Iris on young girls all the time around here, it seems like. I think I've heard three under-twelves being addressed as Iris in the past couple of weeks. Maybe it's just been really popular locally. Haven't seen any Theodores though, thank goodness.
Surprised by Phoebe, and a little bit by Penelope.
Nice to see Rose, Anna, and Lydia up in the top ten of all time.
I think maybe the 23-25s are dipping into the top names of only one or two people who post in the threads every single month, though.

It actually gets to about 20th or so as 11 of 15 Liliana appearances are from myself. That's 73.3% or almost three quarters of the total.

Yeah, that's exactly what happens. When you get to the stuff that has 12 or less, it's very likely it was only one person who was consistent with their taste and their monthly posting.
I've noticed some people say they don't post because their taste doesn't change and that affects the outcome. Or sometimes people just forget/can't post that month. If everybody posted every month, the bottom of the top 25 would look pretty different.
