The results of the Twitter poll are in! According to your votes, Autumn is the overwhelming favorite season baby name (60%). Summer was the second-most popular, taking 20% of the votes. Spring and Winter received one vote each. Besides winning my poll, Autumn is the only of these names that’s currently in the American top 100. Hmm…
And now, here’s a rather large selection of names…the last of the double-digits for the 2015 set! The next few posts are going to cover the extremely rare names used under 10 times (down to 5 occurrences). Today’s post covers just some of the many names given to 10 or 11 girls in the U.S. two years ago. The data comes from the Social Security Administration, which releases new baby name information annually in May.

I am surprised to see Rosamund so low! Also how darling is Maudie?!

I love both Rosamund and Maudie! And that’s better than I expected for Rosamund, actually…if it weren’t for Rosamund Pike, I’m not sure Americans would have *any* familiarity with the name.

How popular is Downton Abbey in the States? There is a fairly prominent character, Lady Rosamund, Lord Grantham’s sister.

Good to know! I think it’s decently popular, but I haven’t been lucky enough to catch the series yet. As far as I know, it’s not on Netflix. Maybe the library will have it…

Ah! Canadian Netflix has it, at least the first few seasons. Definitely worth the watch!

How awful is Beautifull? Never for a name and at least spell it right!

Haha if you don’t like Beautifull now you’re definitely not going to like it when I get to Beautyful.

I missed the poll. Darn it. I would have voted for Summer though – I’ve always liked that name.
