Madison and Addison are street names in my town. Addison is a last name. Most notably of Thomas Addison. The disease that afflicted President Kennedy, Addison's disease, is named after Thomas Addison. I believe he's the person who discovered the disease. Jackson is also one of those names that is typically a last name but has become a popular first name. Interesting how boys' names seem to be more traditional.

I was surprised to see that Ava is a popular name for girls. Ava??

Hello, Ava Gardner? That's a popular one up here too. I guess right now it's trendy to name your kid an "old" name (for girls, anyway).

I personally don't like trendy names; it just feels so...snobbish, I guess. And, I also wouldn't want to be named a trendy name as the years go by, you're associated with a certain age group! lol

That's why my kids are Michelle, James, and Allen.

I'm surprised that Lindsey, Ashley, and Briana didn't make the list. For a while there it seemed that every other baby girl was named Ashley.

I must be a trend follower and didn't know it . . . I named my cat Anna. ;-)

Of course I've heard of Ava Gardner, but that's the only Ava I've ever heard of. I just think it's funny/strange that Ava is now the 7th most popular girls' name in the entire state of Tennessee.

I can definitely see trends, though, through my students. It's like prospective parents receive memos on what to name their kids. Among trendy names in the past with various spellings: Brittany, Casey, Caitlin, and as alleycat pointed out, Ashley and Lindsey.

I have a feeling I'll be seeing a lot of Peytons here at U.T. in the next few years as all those babies born while Peyton Manning was here are getting old enough to go to college...

Peyton is a very popular name, I know right off the bat of one male (Payton), and one female (Peyton), both born the same month as my 2-year old.

Back in my "generation" it was Heather, Jill, Debbie, Barbi, Lori, Nancy. Trendy boy names were Shawn, Vaughn, Barry, Kevin...

Ava was popular 70-80 years ago along with Effie, Ova, Oma. The oddest old name of one of my female relatives was Hasseltie, there was also a Tennessee.

2mares...love the "Hasseltie" name. Wondering if it was a last name at one time, incorporated as a first name? It's so interesting to watch the trends in naming children. Cool to see that quaint, old fashioned and even Biblical names are back in vogue. In my day the girls' names ended with the "ee" sound: Kathy, Debbie, Susie, Nancy, Sherry, Sandy, Barbie, etc....Lindas and Donnas in the mix. When my kids were born in the 1970s all the "J" names were in: Jason, Jennifer, Joel, Jared, Joshua, Jeremy, Jessica, Jeffrey, etc. We have friends whose three children were off the charts: Stoner, Diantha and Prebble.

Diantha, ok, sounds like a mix of two beloved relatives' names (like my poor sister who, with my parents Glenn and Linda, almost became "Glenda")
Prebble, I don't know about that one.

But, whoa...Stoner?

Wow...
