This is a summertime pop quiz for all you Name Nerds out there, particularly the ones who are up on international trends. The following 12 names are all amongst the 250 most popular in the U.S. right now, according to official government data. Without cheating* see if you can rank these in current popularity -- 1 being the most common and 12 being the least common. Bear in mind that American naming trends are often very similar to those in Australia, with the exception of a few names like Chad & Chet. If you guys do well on the girls' names, I'll follow up with a boys' challenge. Ready. Set. RANK! (A) Isabella (B) Madison (C ) Addison (D) Nevaeh (E) Khloe (F) Genesis (G) Destiny (H) London (I) Izabella (J) Londyn (K) Addyson (L) Genevieve ** here's the site for those who can't be bothered to take the quiz http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/#ht=1

So Destiny is #7. I would put money on Isabella being the top. This will drive me mad. I have to go out soon so hopefully there will be some more clues when I get back.
