Girls’ Names 2010: Most Popular So Far
Girls’ Names 2010: Most Popular So Far
Dec 13, 2024 11:16 PM

  Three-quarters of the way through the year, we check in again with the most popular girls’ names 2010, nameberry style.

  Once again, Charlotte heads the list of most-searched girls’ names on nameberry. In the number two spot is Violet, and former number two Seraphina has dropped to third place.

  A note on tabulation: These lists represent the most-searched names on nameberry for January through September of 2010. Previously, we published the lists of most-searched girls’ names 2010 for the first half of the year, and before that for the first quarter.

  This time around, a surprising 11 new girls’ names vaulted onto the Top 100. The newly-popular choices (in order of appearance on the list) are:

  Eva

  Olive

  Eden

  Annabel

  Millie

  Elodie

  Rory

  India

  Mabel

  Frances

  Aurelia

  Following are the names moving up the list for the second quarter in a row. Previously, we’d said not to pay too much attention to shifts up or down, but after two bumps up in a row, we start to wonder whether we smell a trend.

  Violet

  Imogen

  Adelaide

  Harper

  Clementine

  Beatrice

  Flora

  Margaret

  Coco

  Pearl

  Julia

  The girls’ names making the biggest gains up the baby names 2010 list include:

  Adelaide

  Aurora

  Genevieve

  Flora

  Celia

  Pearl

  Mae

  Here are the 11 girls names not among the Top 100 this time around. Many of these choices are, to me, not so surprising: they’re names that people have been hearing for longer and so may be less curious about.

  Remember, these lists represent not what names people are choosing for their children, but which names they’re searching on nameberry, so it’s a sure bet that while a more familiar name like Emily is getting less search attention than a newcomer such as Elodie, in the end more parents will choose the safer Emily.

  Emily

  Georgia

  Sophie

  Natalie

  Leah

  Harlow

  Lulu

  Jessica

  Jillian

  Lauren

  Abigail

  Girls’ names moving down for the second quarter in a row are, in order of their rank on the list:

  Isla

  Claire

  Stella

  Lucy

  Grace

  Arabella

  Chloe

  Avery

  Zoe

  Anna

  Rose

  Sarah

  Mia

  Ellie

  Lydia

  Hannah

  Sasha

  Fiona

  The names with the biggest losses were Olivia and Elizabeth, down from 3 and 4 to 17 and 18 respectively, and Sophia down from 7 to 23, along with Audrey, Chloe, Avery, Zoe, Sarah, Penelope.
