Most common (overused?) names among infants & toddlers in this area?

Not a fan. Do you really like this name or do you just want to be different?

Mildred and Agnes don't need to make comebacks. But as far as I know, neither is what anyone would call "overused" for the younger set.

I actually like Agnes.

I haven't read every page as this thread is getting long. But I wanted to mention that I know 6 or 7 Noahs. Most of these kids are Jewish, but not all. Anyone else see this?

I hate Mildred, but I love Millie as a nickname. The only name I don't dislike where Millie is a nickname is "Camille" but I don't like it enough to use it.

My grandmother even hated being named Mildred.

I agree that Noah is popular and I've also met 2 girls named Noa.

FYI, there's an interesting thread over on the Expectant Mom's board about recently named babies. I count at least 8 or 9 Sophia's so far (although some may be the same baby, since we DCUM's probably know people in common) but there are also some less expected choices. A few interesting ones so far:

Girls: Frida, Georgia, Liesel, Margaux, Natasha, Nina, Selma, Sylvia and Talia

Boys: Ari, Desmond, Eitan/Eton, Enzo, Jerome, Matteo, Nolan, Otis and Rocco

It's the "Irish/Catholic' thing in Georgetown...most are actually named 'John'.

Wow- one! Totally overused named. This is nothing like "Jennifer' in the 80s.

I know a baby named Agnes. I think it's a beautiful name.
