[Freyasmum]

I saw an article about NZ's top 10 names for 2009, and thought it might be fun to compare with other countries.

So here they are...

Top 10 boys' names:
1 - Jack
2 - Oliver
3 - James
4 - Joshua
5 - William
6 - Samuel
7 - Liam
8 - Benjamin
9 - Daniel
10 - Thomas

Top 10 girls' names:
1 - Sophie
2 - Ruby
3 - Olivia
4 - Isabella
5 - Ella
6 - Emily
7 - Charlotte
8 - Lily
9 - Emma
10 - Amelia

Anyone have them for US or UK (or anywhere else)?

I'd seen the list that was in a few of the newspapers - the one posted above from the guardian. I think maybe the website ones are on voting polls whereas the newspapers are on actual registered births during 2009??
