Avery
The Social Security Administration just released its list of most popular baby names of 2009, and Avery is ranked #32. That seems pretty high to me: I don’t know any other kids named Avery, and Zoe – a name I thought was more popular – was ranked lower (54) the year our Zoe was born. But it’s interesting to think of all those other Averys running around out there, and I’m guessing we’ll meet some someday…

Wow! It’s a good thing Zoe didn’t pick “Emma”!

The last time “Gil” was ranked at all was in 1971 where it was #978. Oy!

Nice to have such popular girls. At what year was my name popular? Probably the year I was born

Gil, I’m surprised to hear that! The popularity of my name has been steadily declining since its peak in the mid-70s… It didn’t make the top 100 this year.
