Welcome to the pack, Liam and Abigail. You're now officially a part of the coveted top 10.
BabyCenter released its list of the Top 100 Baby Names of 2010 today. The online parenting and pregnancy destination compiled some 350,000 baby names and combined those that sound the same but have different spellings (such as Sophia and Sofia) to create a true measure of popularity.

What's influencing baby-naming parents? Parents turned to pop culture, politics, a bygone era, and the ever-popular Old Testament for inspiration. Here's a look at the Hottest Baby Name Trends of 2010:
Glee's cheerleader queen Quinn may be mean, but her name is certainly popular, jumping up in the ratings a whopping 60 percent. Finn, Jenna, and Lea are also singing a happy tune.
The critically acclaimed drama Mad Men has struck a nerve with the American public. Dishy Don (as in Draper) inched up the charts, and his ex-wife is bringing the cool back to Betty. The silver-haired fox Roger rose 21 percent, while his wife, Jane, also gained popularity.
The names of the moms on MTV's reality show 16 and Pregnant are also popular: Maci, Farrah, and Katelynn are up by 60, 51, and 7 percent, respectively.
Sarah Palin's daughters' names – Bristol, Willow, and Piper – are climbing the ladder, but the name Sarah is actually in decline.
The golden age of film (think 1930 to 1959) played a starring role in this year's list. Audrey, Ava, Scarlett, Evelyn, Vivien, and Greta all got rave reviews.
Parents are reaching back for names…way, way back to the Old Testament. Jacob has made the BabyCenter top ten for the past ten years, while Levi, Caleb, Elijah, and Jeremiah are rising in the charts. For more about the hottest trends see BabyCenter’s Baby Names Special Report of 2010.
What about names below the top ten? Some are flying up the list, while others are spiraling downward.
Newcomers who broke into the top 100 include Annabelle (69), Stella (72), Nora (83), Jeremiah (90), Hudson (96), and Ryder (97).
Ellie, who leapfrogged 26 spots to come in at number 61, is a rising star.
So is Charlotte, who was bumped up 20 to number 38.
And then there's Grayson, who enjoyed a 25-spot jump to land at number 66.
Some names lost a lot of ground. Brooke shot down 23 spots to number 82, while Hayden tumbled 20 spots to number 91.
Ashley and Brendan exited the top 100 entirely.
What's up for next year? BabyCenter uses a top-secret algorithm to unearth the names that are likely to become even more popular in 2011.
Of the top 100 girls' names from 2010, it looks like Layla, Lila, Evelyn, Charlotte, Lucy, Ellie, Aaliyah, Bella, Claire, and Aubrey will continue to rise in 2011.
Of the top 100 boys' names from 2010, BabyCenter predicts that Eli, Colton, Grayson, Wyatt, Henry, Mason, Landon, Charlie, Max, and Chase will gain momentum in 2011.
And what about names that haven't even broken into the top 100? Who will be next year's newcomers?
Among the less popular names now moving up the girls' list are Isla, Adalyn, Giuliana, Olive, Kinsley, Evangeline, Paisley, Vivienne, Maci, and Kinley.
And although Bentley, Kellan, Kingston, Aarav, Ryker, Beckett, Colt, Paxton, Jax, and Lincoln are well below the top 100 on the boys' list, they're all fast climbers.

Личните имена на постоянно живеещите в страната български граждани са повече от 67 хиляди, съобщиха от НСИ. Разнообразието на имена сред жените е по-голямо от това при мъжете. Повече от 29 хиляди са личните имена, които се срещат при мъжете, а за жените те са около 38 хиляди.
Най-разпространените лични имена сред мъжете са Георги - 174 хиляди, или 4.8% от всички мъжки имена, и Иван - близо 173 хиляди, или 4.7%. Следва името Димитър - 131 хиляди (3.6%).
Класацията на най-разпространените мъжки имена продължава с Николай - 2.5%, Петър - 2.2%, Христо - 1.8%, Йордан, Стефан, Васил, Тодор, Стоян, Александър и др. От всички мъже близо 1,503 млн. (41%) притежават някое от 25-те най-разпространени имена.
Разнообразието на имената при жените е много по-голямо. От всички жени 124 хиляди носят името Мария (3.2%). На второ място по разпространение сред жените е името Иванка - близо 71 хиляди (1.8%).
Следват: Елена - над 57 хиляди (1.5%), и Йорданка - 44 хиляди (1.1%).

При мюсюлманите най-често се срещат женските имена Фатме и Айше и мъжките Мехмед, Ахмед и Мустафа.
Със съвременните поколения настъпва изменение в структурата на използваните имена, отчитат от статистиката. Все по-често децата се кръщават с по-непопулярни имена като Габриела, Никол, Ванеса, Анелия, Ивана, Даниел, Кристиян и Виктор.
Към момента на Ивановден празнуват повече от 300 000 българи, на Гергьовден повод да почерпят имат още 200 000, а 150 000 - на Богоявление.

Craziest Celebrity Baby Names of 2010
Who hasn’t heard a celebrity baby name and said: “What were they thinking?” Hollywood headliners have a knack for choosing wild names. We all remember Gwyneth Paltrow’s Apple, Penn Jillette’s Moxie Crimefighter, and Jason Lee’s Pilot Inspektor (arguably the craziest of the crazy names).
And maybe that’s the point. A truly unique name says "my baby is one-of-a kind" like nothing else can.
“Celebrities live in an alternate universe from the rest of us. They’re creative and enjoy the attention the spotlight brings. By choosing unusual names, they’re saying something about themselves and what they want for their children,” says Linda Murray, editor in chief of BabyCenter.
So who were the winners and losers in this year’s celebrity baby-naming competition? BabyCenter asked 2,000 moms to vote on the best and worst celebrity names of the year and the results are in.
Chef Jamie Oliver takes the prize for wackiest name of the year with Buddy Bear Maurice, while actor Mark Wahlberg wins the popularity contest with the classic Grace Margaret.

Bulgarian Moslems change own names to Christian ones
Мюсюлмани масово сменят имената си с християнски – било модерно04.11.2010, 19:21 (обновена 04.11.2010, 19:26)
news.bg
Коментари (16) Жителите на гоцеделчевските села масово сменят мюсюлманските си имена с християнски, информира e-79.com.
Причина за промяната е, че хората не могат да си намерят работа или децата им имат проблеми в училище. Младите родители пък масово залагат на имена, станали популярни от телевизионните сериали.
Кметът на Долно Дряново Неджип Близнак разказа, че е сменил името на сина си, а сега ще преименува дъщерята си. Повечето хора приемат промяната на името като нещо нормално.
„Ние сме малцинство в България и който иска, който не иска трябва да се интегрира в България и Европа. Хората не могат да изостанат от модата", каза кметът на селото Неджип Близнак.
По думите му ако учиш или работиш извън селото, е наложително да си с българско име. В Долно Дряново хората вече гледат на брак между мюсюлманин и християнка, като нещо нормално, на което не бива да пречи религията. Много от младите семейства залагат на нетрадиционни имена за децата си.
Основно на мода са вече имената от сериалите. Хасан, Халил и Джемал са вече остарели. Не искат като викнеш на площада „Ей, Хасан" да се обърнат 50 човека", коментира още кметът.
По възрастните хора от селото обаче са на друго мнение. Според тях името няма значение, важно е човек да е работлив и ще си намери работа.

Mohammed is the most popular name in UK
Mohammed is now the most popular name for baby boys ahead of Jack and Harry
By Jack Doyle
Last updated at 1:41 AM on 28th October 2010

Mohammed has become the most popular name for newborn boys in Britain.
It shot up from third the previous year, overtaking Jack, which had topped the list for the past 14 years but was relegated to third spot.
Olivia topped the list for little girls for the second year in a row, behind Ruby and Chloe.
A total of 7,549 newborns were given 12 variations of the Islamic prophet Mohammed’s name last year, such as Muhammad and Mohammad.
The second most popular boy’s name, Oliver, was given to 7,364 babies.
Harry and Alfie came in fourth and fifth place respectively.
The official list, which covers all births in 2009 in England and Wales, has Mohammed at number 16 but this does not include the many different spellings, which are all ranked separately.
When they are added in, Mohammed zooms all the way up to top spot for the first time.
In order of popularity, the variant spellings used during the year were: Muhammad, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mohamed, Mohamad, Muhamed, Mohammod, Mahamed, Muhamad, Mahammed and Mohmmed.
There are still other possible spellings but these were not used for births in England and Wales in 2009. Regionally, the single spelling of Mohammed came top of the list for the West Midlands.
Since 1999 the number of babies called Mohammed, however spelled, has increased by more than half.
In 1999 the name was given to 4,579 newborns.
Going even further back, the single spelling Mohammed appeared at 73 in the list in 1964 and 87th in 1944.
Some names appeared to have been given a popularity boost by celebrity association.
There were 282 boys called Brooklyn, 78 called Romeo and 73 called Cruz – sharing their names with the sons of David and Victoria Beckham.
The top 100 names lists include six new entries for boys: Aiden, Arthur, Frederick, Jude, Stanley and Austin.
The girls’ list had just three new entries: Heidi, Mya and Sara.
Big risers were Lucas, up 19 places since 2008 to 17th in the boys list. Archie climbed 11 places to 20 while Noah jumped 13 places to 32.
For girls, Maisie is increasingly popular, up 29 places to 34.
However, Emma, which not long ago was among the nation’s favourite names, dropped ten places to become the 41st most common name given to girls.
The figures also revealed the continued resurgence of names popular in the early 20th Century. Evie was the tenth most popular girls name last year, up 157 places since 1999.
Ruby has seen a similar rise in popularity – it was not even in the top 100 in the late 1990s. Its return has been linked to the hit song of the same name by the Kaiser Chiefs and Charlotte Church choosing it for her daughter in 2007.
Overall, the popularity of the most common names has changed little, with the top tens for both boys and girls remaining almost identical.
There were 706,248 children born in England and Wales last year

Mohammed is the most popular name in UK for 2009
Мохамед е най-популярното мъжко име във Великобритания в момента, предаде Fox News.
Справка, публикувана от "Дейли Мейл", показва, че 7 549 от новородените през 2009 година момчетав страната са били кръстени Мохамед.
На второ място по избор е Оливър. Това име са получили 7 364 бебета.
Джак, име, заемало първото място години наред, вече е на трето място,.
Агенциите отбелязват, че същото име е било в челните места и през предишни години, като бебета, кръстени на пророка, постепенно нарастват.
Припомня се също, че мюсюлманите в страната са около 2.5 млн. души, а цялото население на Великобританияе около 61 млн.
