How many Michael's do you know? Honestly I can't think of any, I do know a couple Christophers though. Olivia as always been a favorite of mine so I'm not surprised to see it on the top 10 list. What influences your name choices? Do your children have any of these names?
When I had my son in 1990, his name was popular, Cody.
ReplyDeleteI know a million Mike's and Chris'. My son is Johnny and he's the only John I know his age LOL! My other on is Gavin and that seems to be climbing with popularity these days!
ReplyDeleteI have one Christopher in my childs playgroup. No Michaels. :) Two Ethans, though. And none of the girl names.
