Who would you be in 2010?

Stolen from another board...

What name would you have in 2010 based on the Social Security popular name lists? To find out, go to your birth year and see what your name was ranked. Then go to the 2010 list and see what the name is for that same number.

 For example, in 1980 my name(Kendra) ranked #154. In 2010, #154 was Haley.

  • In 1977, Carrie was #28. In 2010, #28 was Anna.

    Side note: in 1977, some of the top names were Jennifer, Heather, Melissa, Amy...so true, I had lots of those names in my classes!

  • Riley...?  Lindsey was #40 in 1982 which is way higher than I would have predicted--I never went to school with another Lindsey (or Lindsay) until 8th grade and even now, I know about 3 other Lindseys around my age.

    Fun fact: the 40th most popular boys' name in 1982 was my DH's name!

    Riley, huh? Riley?

  • Oh jeez...my name would be Aliyah.  

    Side note: my name was way more popular in my birth year than I realized.  I blame Bush #1.  (my name is Barbara)  Not that 143 is very high...but still.  I've only ever met one barbara in my age range.

     

  • Danielle was #30 in 1981, which amazes me, since I only went to school with a few other Danielles over the years and even now I don't know any, let alone any around my age.  It's #195 in 2010 - it's dropped rapidly in the past 10 years.

    Sarah was #30 in 2010.  No thanks.

  • Kathryn was #111 in 1971;

    IN 2010, Lydia is #111.

    I'll take Kathryn 100x over Lydia - bleh

    Interesting, I actually knew several Lindsey/Lindsay's in school.

    I knew one Barbara in school. She went by Barbie which I have to say was always odd. You always thought of the doll...

  • I am a Jennifer born in 1973. Today I would be Isabella.

  • Mine was #171 in 1984, and #171 in 2010 would be Jacqueline - no thanks. If you go w/the more traditional spelling of my name, it was #3 in 1984, and the 2010 #3 is Emma, which is better than Jacqueline, but I'll stick w/my "common" (for my age group) name! :)

    Fun poll, btw!
  • In 1982, Stephanie was ranked 7th.

    In 2010, Abigail is ranked 7th. 

    Married December 18th, 2010 :)
  • I was #56 in 2010 #56 was Aaliyah.  My name is not my favorite but I think I'll stick with it! :)

  • Lauren was #38 in 1980 and I would be Allison in 2010! 
  • In 1981 Jennifer was #1 so in 2010 I'd be Isabella. Blah. Of course, I did spend my childhood wishing I had another name. I could never find anything personalized with Jennifer because it was ALWAYS sold out.

    I was curious about how long Jennifer was number 1. It was at number 1 from 1970 to 1984. It is no surprise that you couldn't find Jennifer stuff because you had 11 years of Jennifers ahead of you ;)

  • In 1975 Shanda (although spelled Shonda) was #447 and in 2010 I would be Janiya.  Both names suck!
  • Ha, this is what the site told me:

    Jadey is not in the top 1000 female names for any year of birth in the last 11 years.
    Please enter another name.

    And you know what, I don't mind one bit.  I like being one of the few with my name.  Big Smile

  • My nickname that I go by was 33 in '81 so in '10 I would be Gabriella, but my legal name was 107 back then (which I'm surprised) so today I would be Lilly. I like both of them

  • My name was #13 in 1982

    In 2010 I would be Ella...I'll stick with Tiffany :)

  • Mary was #26. I would be Sofia. Lovely name. I kind of surprised Mary was 26. I don't know any other marys my age and sofia seems super popular (it's also what bff calls me bc she says I an old lady like Sofia on the golden girls ao that's weird). Also from the weird file. The year I was born the 26th most popular name was Richard aka my h's name (though he is way older than me). That's just weird.
  • in 1982- #14- Kimberly

    in 2010- #14- Natalie

  • Tyler was 139 in 1979, but for a guy.  In 2010 Asher and Kylee are 139 for guy and girl. 
  • My name was #647 when I was born, so if I had been born in 2010 I would have been Jaylene.  I was hoping for something a little more ridiculous considering how low my name is on the list.

    To this day I have never met another Joan in my age range.  The youngest person I've met with my name is 50, haha.

    I'd consider it such a compliment to be compared to Sophia Petrillo.  I love the Golden Girls with a passion.

    Shanda, I've never even HEARD of the name Janiya!

  • I would be Isabella.
  • My name was #30 in my birth year (technically, I entered it how it is pronounced - Erin - and not how I spell it - Erynne.) That would make me a Sarah in 2010.

    That's what it told me too :) I'm okay with having a name that wasn't very popular :)
