Most Popular Baby Boy Names in the U.S.

Can you accept "Aidan" for "Aiden". I definitely know one or two.

Where did you get your info from? I think I found a website that has all the answers you have, and in the same order!

I wonder if this list counts all of the jacked up spelling variations that evil parents like to impart on their children.

If spelling variations are listed separately, do you combine them for the quiz? And if not, why do you accept variations for answers?

Totally, names should never have an apostrophe or two y's

My Arabic friend has an apostrophe in his name.

O'Connor ?

Less odd names than by girls, but also less fantasy (no that doesn't have to be the same ;))

Angel is a boys' name? o.O

It is a popular Spanish name for boys.

Hi, I'm Angel, and yes, I'm a boy (or more accurately, a grown man).

Why would you name your child satan?

Yes, an if I am not mistaken, a girl is named Angela?

can;t lie, i have a michael, daniel and joshua...

There is probably a connection between me being terrible at remembering people's names and my doing so poorly on this quiz. ha.

Ugh, I hate all these new names. Mason? Is that a name?

It might have evolved from the surname.

There are quite a lot of English names from surnames, and not even just modern inventions.

No doubt part of the New World Order's conspiracy to control the world and gloat about it while doing so.

Apparently it's been around for a while now, though it's rise to popularity was very recent. It certainly sounds like it should be a surname to me, but whatever, it's a free country. That said, my tolerance is stretched to breaking point by Jayden and its variants. That one is definitely a nonsense modern invention.

Why is it being a modern invention a bad thing? language changes, so do the names we use. I'm not a fan of naming your kid apple like Chris Martin or Moonunit like Frank Zappa, but I don't see any issue with naming your kid Jayden just because it doesn't have a long history.

it has been around as a given name, from atleast the 1800s.

And I find surnames used as given names often sound very silly aswell.. though I never looked at mason as coming from a surname. Now that I think about it, it obviously does, and comes from a profession.

Funny story: My Economics teacher once had a student whose name was spelled "La-a", and he was like "uh, is there someone named Laa in this class or is it a mistake?" so everyone in the class was like "there's no one named Laa in here", but finally this one girl said that she wasn't called on, and my teacher said "okay, what's your name?" and she said "LaDasha". You were supposed to pronounce the dash. I don't know if he was telling the truth, but I still found it funny.

i heard of parents who just put - on the birth certificate and the child was legally called Dash

You see Americans, that's why it's good to have a law concerning what names you are aloud to give your kid. We have that in Austria and I haven't ever met a Dash or a Jayden or a Jaxson or any other such nonsense.

What? No Jacks? This is blasphemy! This is madness! This.... is.... JETPUNK!!!

xD

I think people should be careful before dissing names.

I think people should be careful before naming their child the first name that enters their mind and simply changing it to have more Xs and Ys. My name is Maxx, this is my brother Jaxxon, my sister Jyssyca and my cousin Jaydyn.

Fun facts:

There are now more children called Jaxon spelled with an x than like the surname Jackson

The parents who called their daughter Unique would be sad to learn that there are three others

3? you mean 300.000?

personally I have never heard of jaxon. It looks alright I think.

I believe there is some research supporting the theory that naming your child something unique affects their career prospects.

I personally can't imagine a political or business leader named Jayden or Swayde

There is a lot of research that shows, that HR is much more likely to hire someone with a historical name than someone with a name where your wondering if you are looking at the name or at the social security number, jk. This was tested by giving great numbers of different HR two identical CVs and only changing the name.

in 20 years kids are going to be named things like "Ryker", "Londynn", and "Lakynn"

GAHHH! I can't believe I, Loganite, missed Logan. :(

*Facepalm* Did it again... Maybe I'll try again in two years.

Some people have officialy tried to name their kids thing like sex fruit... in several cases the court got involved and the were forbidden to use the name, but many (some countries are way more strict than others ) very weird ones got through, (like paycheck...)

Jesus christ, it's your child, do you hate your child???

Hardly anything changes> First jayden goes out en matthew in, then aiden out oliver in (ow and logan out and lucas in). Matthew out again and logan in again. And the last year no name changes.

=>Jayden                  <=Matthew
=>Aiden, Logan        <=Oliver, Lucas
=>Matthew                <=Logan

Well, I'm still bad at fad names.
