The end of the year is approaching and there’s no shortage of “top ten” lists going around. But, since we’re always interested in top baby names lists, we thought it’d be fun to share the first we’ve found for 2006:
Here’s MSN’s 2006 top baby name list.
There aren’t a lot of surprises on the list. We’ve made more than a few “Olivia” personalized baby blankets this year, that’s for sure.
Happy to see that our son’s name isn’t on the list this year (he’s two); we gave him a “unique” name that landed on at least some of 2004’s top ten lists. Naming your baby is a difficult thing, at least it was for us. Finding THAT perfect name you both feel is PERFECT isn’t so easy. I’ve come to the conclusion that there will be some nickname for every name and that there will be something wrong and something great about every name. The meaning meant something to us, even veered us from naming our son “dark one”. 
I think naming your child is one of the big gut decisions we make in life, it just comes down to the one that feels right. Visit our friends at www.babynames.com for endless baby name ideas, name origins, and name meanings.
One piece of advice I wish we’d received with our first is not to share with family and friends your favorite name. Sounds cruel and unusual, but trust me, someone will have just the worst thing to say about your favorite name, and you don’t need to hear it. Once the baby is born, no one will say anything except “how cute”. Trust me, you’ll be happier this way.
I’m sure that there will be more lists after the new year, it’ll be fun to compare them for differences. There never seems to be consistency from one to the next.
