Here are some names I think are either worth watching or worth mentioning. First I'd like to point out that Destiny happens to be the number one girls name starting with the letter D, although if Daniela, Danielle and Daniella were combined, that would have won. Here are D names that made the top 1000 in 2011 and how many girls were given the name. I always find names starting with A, D and L the most interesting when reading the lists. You can decide for yourself if by "interesting" I mean "aggravating."

Deanna 323
Demi 321
Dixie 309
Diya 287
Dorothy 273
Dalia 266
Damaris 250


I find some of the choices outdated (Deborah, Denise) and think there are some D names I would rather have seen on the list, as in Diantha, Daria, Demetra/Demitria, Desdemona, Darina, Delta, Dinah, December, Dionne, Damia, Deirdre, Dharma, Donatella, Drucilla/Drusilla, Dulcinea and Delphine/Delphina.


These are all names I think will rise more...


Charlotte #46 to #27

Harper #118 to #54Lila #155 to #163Scarlett #114 to #80Ruby #113 to #109Lily #17 to #15Sofia #26 to #19Zoe #31 in both 2010 and 2011Freya will rank in 2012 if it can get another 20 more births than it has now, give or take a few. In 2011 there were 204 baby girls named Freya, and 222 named Frida, which ranked at #930.
And these are just names I like to keep an eye on...
