The 300 Most Popular Baby Names According to Google Search Results

Following on from yesterdays post asking where people rank for their first name I did some research to see which names had the most results in Google. The list was seeded with data from the UK and US governments popular baby names of 2006 information.

Call your baby John or Max and it’s going to be pretty hard to find them on Google.

Drop a comment below with your name and website and I will link your name to your site.

Vincent Chow 18 Dec 2007 at 1:10 pm: My first name is having 165,000,000 results
Matt 18 Dec 2007 at 1:53 pm: Matt at #46
Damien van Holten 18 Dec 2007 at 1:56 pm: Good thing I only need to beat the singer and the kid from the Omen.
John Cronin 18 Dec 2007 at 2:43 pm: Hi Patrick

David Bradley 18 Dec 2007 at 2:59 pm: Darn it! I knew I was common as muck, but #3!?!?

David Bradley
Shane 18 Dec 2007 at 3:34 pm: Wow, I didn’t even make the top 323?
Matthew 18 Dec 2007 at 3:43 pm: 99,500,000. Not too bad (although what defines good or bad in this list?). I wonder how many visits the top spot for each name gets per month from Google.

80 Matthew 99,500,000 results
Sean 18 Dec 2007 at 4:03 pm: Looks like I’m at #58. Much higher then I had expected.
baby girl 18 Dec 2007 at 6:51 pm: My brother name is Max and I think he is pretty happy with his name.
Tyler 18 Dec 2007 at 8:34 pm: Actually, there only 324 of the most popular names. Tyler is listed twice
Jonk : bargains 18 Dec 2007 at 10:34 pm: Well obviously Jonk isn’t up there.

However, a couple of things (I’m bored at work.):

Max – is also in other contexts such as “Pepsi Max” “live life to the max” etc.” “I drunk 40 – max!”

Georgia – is a state in the USA.

Christian is a religious follower

Summer is a season

Victoria is a state in Australia. And there’s some kind of Victoria in Canada too, from memory.

Sydney is a city, as is Austin, (San) Diego, (San) Antonio and (St.) or (Port) Louis.

Faith is a concept.

Dave and David, Ben and Benjamin are on there, as are Matt and Matthew. Merging the two results for each gives them much higher rankings – David should really be #1!!

I suspect that Ben’s results are helped by Ben’s Bargains.

Ok I have had my fun…
Dominick 19 Dec 2007 at 3:58 am: Hey, Dominick Gatto here, my site, DominickGatto.com, is currently down because of an issue with my server provider – but you can add me to that list.

Jools 19 Dec 2007 at 6:34 pm: 1,740,000

Get me on that list.
Edward 19 Dec 2007 at 6:46 pm: This would be more accurate if “name” was included in the google search, as some of these names have decidedly non-name results
cha0s 19 Dec 2007 at 7:42 pm: Damn. I’m in top 50 for both Alex and Robert. And I thought my name was special

Money Making Blog 26 Feb 2008 at 7:32 am: Can I get a link on my name Alex for the website I signed with ?
Luke 03 Apr 2008 at 6:29 am: Great list, Patrick!

I actually put together a tool for my website in Autumn 2007 that looks at baby names data in search engines. However, instead of looking at search results, I looked at news and blog mentions in G and Y!. My app tracks all the names in our database and checks how often they pop up on the web each week.

Baby Names Buzz – take a look!

You can also flip the list upside down, and find the LEAST frequent names. This is great for parents looking for names that Google well, and that are not too commonplace.

I hope you like it, and sorry I didn’t find this post of yours earlier!
kirsty 06 May 2008 at 1:36 pm: i cant believe that the name kirsty is not on the list oh my god
James 27 Jun 2008 at 11:29 am: I didn’t realise I’m so popular! Happy to be at #5
Ruby Hawkins 28 Jun 2008 at 2:29 am: I can’t believe my name isn’t on your list. Just kidding, my name hasn’t been popular for years but it will likely be coming back in the future. I see other old names that are becoming popular again.
Crowny 04 Jul 2008 at 8:05 am: Great list of names. But you missing mine.
Joseph 15 Jul 2008 at 12:59 pm: The search count represents the sum total of a name’s popularity over the past years, eg. from popularity of John it is evident that the name was not popular among parents in recent times. But the name has been popular for a very long time, thereby spawning many famous persons so named; thus the current #1 ranking on Google? Good info, but parents looking for current popularity trends should be looking at current stats..

Chris 18 Sep 2008 at 3:46 am: Another view is that the occurrences are not given to the baby girls and baby boys, but what these baby girls and baby boys grow up to do that is reportable.

What if the name that you are given leads you to who you are and what you do (thus the number of web pages with your name on it)…

Hmmm…

Let’s not get started on birthdays and numerology shall we
