The twins are 27 months, 2 weeks, 6 days old.

 

 

This list came out last month but I have been one very busy lady and am just now sharing it with you as I do every year, but it’s still pretty new.

 

You all know how I just love talking about baby names even though my husband says NO MORE for me. I just can’t help myself. WAH!  (I guess I have a hint of baby fever again, but don’t tell the hubby.) I never expected that after twins ++.

Adrian & Adrianna. I like them both, but together? Too close for me.

 

 

Check your top names by state by using this handy tool:

 

Baby name popularity by state

 

You may not have as many Isabella’s in your state as you may think. (Isabella is just an example.) This info. is quite interesting and helpful when deciding on a baby name if you wish to steer clear of the most popular names in your particular area. You may get an idea of if there will be 4 Ava’s in your child’s class or not. I think it’s pretty cool!

 

See you next year but likely sooner to discuss baby names again. A topic that never grows old!

 

Happy naming!
