Let's play another all-berry baby name game. Let's say you only had one daughter and one son, and you had to choose their names from the same U.S. popularity rank. Which pair would you pick? - baby names
Clare's insight:
So far I like: Sarai & Saul Annabel & Justice (I'm not normally a big Justice fan, but it works very nicely here) Adelina & Leonard (so grandparently!) Emilie & Stanley Ellen & Ben Libby & Ernest Sofie & Gilbert Nina & Finn Anna & Jonathan Honourable mention to Maria & Jesus. Hmm, I think I must have been on the look out for "nice elderly couple next door" names. I think the next game should be "most mismatched pair".

The most popular Maori baby names in New Zealand for 2012 were Nikau and Maia.
Clare's insight:
A very good list to read out loud, though I agree with Nancy that it would be good to know more about the data - including, perhaps, Maori names given to non-Maori children. And those inter-language names are certainly a tricky area.

As if the top names in Brittany weren't delightful enough, this site also has the best map of France I've ever seen. Seriously. You click on a département (and there are 96 of them - don't forget to drag the screen down to Corsica) and up pops the top 25 names there (caveat: the firgures are for 2012). I'm in heaven.
