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 150 most popular in the U.S. and/or Australia right now, according to official government data. Without cheating* see if you can rank these in current popularity in the U.S. -- 1 being the most common and 12 being the least common. A little hint -- the American girls' names tend to parallel the Aussie girls' picks more than the boys' names. With that guidance in mind... Ready. Set. RANK! (A) Cooper (B) Ayden (C ) Mason (D) Brayden (E) Oliver (F) Jayden (G) Aiden (H) William (I) Hayden (J) Jack (K) Lachlan (L) Jaden ** here's the site for those who can't be bothered to take the quiz http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/#ht=1 I am heading out for a few errands but will be back to score & give hints later this evening! Have at it!

Hint: A more conventional spelling of a popular name/name root wins out above the other variations

Good to see Lachlan continuing performance from prior years (2005 research).

I know what the bottom scorer is but I am 98% sure I flipped 2nd and 3rd.
