[Opinions] Re: Addison or Emerson
in reply to a message by Emily
Adeline and Emilia are very old fashioned to me... not at all my style.The nickname of Gracie for either Addison or Emerson would come from the middle name of Grace. My dad often calls me by my middle name as a nickname, so that does not seem strange to me at all.

Oh, then I understand it if your dad does it. I'm sorry you don't like Adeline or Emilia, they're two of my favorites. Do you by any chance like Adelaide or Ava?

I do like Ava a lot, but it was ranked #1 in 2006, and I would be afraid there would be 10 Ava's in her class. I hated growing up in a very small school and still having at least 5 or 6 other Heather's in every class (all of a sudden your name is Heather L or Heather R to distinguish you from everyone else)

In what country? The U.S. statistics haven't been released yet.

Just realized that was just according to BabyNames.com, and #3 on babycenter's list. I did go look at the 2005 US SSA list, and Ava was #9... still way too popular for me for a first name.

Babynames.com's list is made up from the names that are liked by the members of that board. It's not meant to be a listing of names actually used, though it has some predictive power for the future. Babycenter's list is made up of names of children born to members of BabyCenter, but they are not a random sample of the American population. Though Ava is very likely to be higher than #9 in 2006 when the offical figures come out.
