You are making my head spin. Do you keep track of all this data? Or are you doing it for our benefit, to see how our tastes change over time? Either way, kudos for all the work!
I generally avoid these diaries because I found the more I participated the more I started to tire of my "favorite" names. I've now come to the point where I can't even remember what they were. So here's a list of what I call my current top ten names. I suspect the feminine ones will change the most:
1.
Frederica /
Freda (these are in no particular order)
2.
Joan3.
Ursula (hmm, they are definitely getting "heavier" sounding)
4.
Gobnait5.
Margaret /
Mairead (is that cheating?)
6.
Blaithin7.
Eimear /
Emer8.
Edelmira9.
Inez /
Ines10.
Elsa /
Elsie

Fear not. These are not intended for future children. I am old enough to be free to love names for their own sake.
