I like Liam or Lucas the best of the boy names, and Chloe the best of the girl names. I like the name Sophia better than just Sophie, though. My fave boy name is Henry, and that wasn't listed here... oh well, maybe someday the name Henry will make a comeback. Chloe is my favorite girl name; hooray that one is number 5!

hi i think sopia is a good name for a girl

[Comment #11]

I have not heard of SOME of these names

[Comment #12]

Throughout my 11 years of living I've loved a bunch of names. I like the name Selena, but it isn't listed there. I don't just like it for Selena Gomez, but I always thought the name was pretty. I also like Nina and Teddy, and Sunshine (Sunny) for a girl's name. And Charlie. I'm really surprised Nicholas and Zachary aren't on the boy's list. I see those names a lot.

[Comment #13]

Hey! I'm meggie520 and all the time ppl I know have names like Megan or Makenzie. I wonder why there not on the TOP 10 . Half of the people on the boys and girls list , I don't know ppl with those names.MY fave names are Cealey(girls) and Charlie (boys)

[Comment #14]

I like the name Isabella because my friend's name is Isabella. I think it's a pretty name!

[Comment #15]

Actually, I can't, except for Lily. I think that it's C... Probably not. I was named after a flower so my mind jumps to that...
