I live in Aus, and I know people with most of those names, but I don't know people named: Charlotte, Ava, Sienna, Oliver, Noah, Charlie or Max.








:)|||GIRLS:


1. Lily: This is my favorite name, Lily, Lilia, Lillian, etc, I love them all, so I can see how this would be the #1 name, I'm just glad it is not #1 here.


2. Mia: this is a really cute name, it is so simple %26amp; sweet


3. Maddison: this isn't one of my favorite names, but it is cute, and Maddie is a cute nickname


4. Isabella: I love the nickname Bella, and Isabella is really sweet.


5. Charlotte: I love the nickname Charli for a girl, but I don't care much for Charlotte, but it isn't a horrible name


6. Chloe: I LOVE this name, this is one of our favorite names


7. Emily: this is just a really classy name,


8. Ella: this is a really cute name


9. Olivia: Another really classy sounding name


10. Ava: This name is alright

14. Amelia: this name is alright


15. Ruby: this is so cute,


16. Caitlin (Kaitlyn): Another classy name, you can't go wrong with names like Caitlin, Olivia, Emily, these are names that can grow with a girl into a woman's name.


17. Zoe (Zoey): One of my favorites, but I couldn't ever find a middle name that I like with this name, I'm not sure if I like Zoe or Chloe better.


18. Georgia: wow this one is surprising, I would have never guessed that this would be in the top 20 list, it's an alright name,


19. Hannah: this is a really cute name but I like Anna better

Samuel x|||I like all of them. I'm not too big on Lachlan though. By the way, your profile pic is cute!|||Worst ones;


Lily is a NICKNAME! poor little girls. This is becoming SO common here in the US it makes me want to cry, especially with middle names.





Maddison...lookkss likkee theeyy hiitt thhee DD keeyy twiccee onn accidenntt.. Kinda cute though.





Isabella. This name is adorable, and has a nice meaning, but ITS SO COMMON. I swear everybody's naming their kids Isabella(or some spelling/form), Sophia/Sopie, or Lily.





Amelia- too oldish for me. I keep thinking of Amelia Earnheart, ahahhaa.





Georgia!? Like the US STATE? Oh lord, do I even need to comment this? ha





Lachlan is HORRIBLE. I've never heart it, but I'll tell you one thing, you people are crazy! Ha! (jkjk, only poeple that name their poor baby boy is). It sounds like a celeb baby name. Totally sickening in my opinion.





I'm so sick of Riley. I used to think it was cute, for a boy OR a girl, now I hate it. SO done with Aiden too. You forgot the Aaden spelling(:





Jayden and everything that rhymes with it is getting on my nerves and doesn't even sound like a nice name at all.





Favorites;


Max- One of my kids' names(:


Jackson- I recently lost my little boy who we named Jackson鈾?br>




Noah, James, Alexander, and Thomas are all names/middle names I would use. Noah Benjamin will be the name of my next baby(if I have one, and it's a boy).








Those names are SO overused for the most part though. Sienna is nice. Not on the US list top ten, so I would think about using it(:





Thanks for this though, VERY interesting(:
